The SWP prefers to talks about organisation rather than rape, and that protects its leaders not its members.But are gross abuses of power inevitable on the far left, part of its organisational practices?

It transforms into an argument over something called Leninism, which the SWP’s opposition are apparently using the allegations as an excuse to abandon.
India’s legacy of communalism and communal violence is here to stay, if one goes by activities of rightwing Hindutva forces and government’s total inaction, nay, paralysis.
