"Why is the history syllabus so sorely afflicted in West Bengal? . . . Let the poor, unemployed, aggrieved youth force suffer from loss of self- identity and remain ignorant about national and cultural heritage, so that the Marxists may have sufficient cannon fodder devoid of nationalism. Red revolution needs Red terrorism first – the passage from terrorism to power is the Marxist way of revolution. This is the reason as to why Marxists are opposed to nationalism, and albeit sympathisers of Islamic terrorism. They want to hide the national history because they are aware that positive national feeling has the potential to uproot their corrupt, inefficient and repressive governance."
