Even hypocrites and selfish people who are totaly submerged in to their own sea of problems and happiness are sheding crocidile tears for Dr. Binayab Sen. I know its heartenning to do that as you feel yourself among the great people. Its human. But as a close associate and observer of the leftist movement in India, what I have felt is that leftist movement starting from thje mainstream CPI/ CPM to the extremists like naxals, suffer due to the selfish and hypocritic persons involved. What I have observed that people will get associated with the organisation due to requirement of their "buiseness" and leave it as soon as the purpose is over.
Moreover, people like Dr. Binayak Sen are above the usual activists among communists and naxals. I dont know him personaly or never talked to him, but whats is obvious is he was from a respectable family (born in a Brahmin family), studied the best profession from one of the world famous institution and could have easily joined the elite club in any metropolitan city of the WORLD! But he opted to work in the tribal area where even police doesnot want to go, politicians do the deals with their leaders only away from the area in the towns and cities! None of us including myself can compare ourselves with him. Though I agree that many people are having difficlut life and are struggling against the odds "bravely", But thats the situation in which they are and that makes the biggest difference. Dr. Binayak Sen opted for a hard life, difficult life though he could have easily avoided that!
