"But I thought communism had failed?" I said.
"No. No," replies Mr Roy. "We will get it right this time."

Subodh Roy, I see when he stands up to greet me, is a small yet powerful figure. At 88, his voice is soft, difficult to hear above the noise of traffic horns and bustle from the poor Muslim neighbourhood outside. Yes, Mao. He was good. He fought for communism, too, in the Chinese way


 Hhhmmm; at 88 you would think he would understand murdering 120million of your own people (or there about) was a bad thing. And a small yet powerful 88 year old...my they must feed hindus well. No Mickey D's for him.
