900 (5/10 of Donald Trump Series) What happens in US cannot really be important for India, but what happened, is happening and will happen in China in next decade is goign to be of great importance to India

This blog is not an America hate-blog, or a China hate-blog. Not that United States is not important to me, or India. But what Mr. Donald Trump does, or what the US Government does, is reasonably predictable. But what China does, and will do cannot be predicted with reasonable means. Trigger for this blogpost: Click here to go to Wikipedia.org https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong to study about Shri Mao Tse Tung . When I saw this Wikipedia article about Mr. Mao Tse Tung (Mao Ze Dong) I was flabbergast.

Reason: This Wikipedia.org article about Mao Ze Dong, ignored totally, about the attitude of Late Mao Tse Tung, towards India. International Readers may be aware that China, without any prior warnings, invaded Ladakh, and Arunachal Pradesh (North East Frontier Agency NEFA at that time) of India in 1962, and occupied approx. 36,000 sq. miles of Indian Territory. This could not have taken place, without the active command, or acquiescent orders of Late Mao Ze Dong. China's occupying Tibet in 1959, which led to the flight of Dalai Lama to India, in 1959, too could not have taken place without the knowledge of Late Mao.

Was Invasion of Tibet, and China, a DIVERSIONAL TACTIC of Late Mao?

It seems to be. See this Wikipedia.org quote from the above linked page:

"... In an effort to win favour with their superiors and avoid being purged, each layer in the party hierarchy exaggerated the amount of grain produced under them. Based upon the fabricated success, party cadres were ordered to requisition a disproportionately high amount of that fictitious harvest for state use, primarily for use in the cities and urban areas but also for export. The result, compounded in some areas by drought and in others by floods, was that rural peasants were left with little food for themselves and many millions starved to death in the largest famine known as the Great Chinese Famine. This famine was a direct cause of the death of some 30 million Chinese peasants between 1959 and 1962. Further, many children who became emaciated and malnourished during years of hardship and struggle for survival died shortly after the Great Leap Forward came to an end in 1962.

yb-a-donkey's personal observations which are not intended to be imposed on others

After discounting a part of the above information, as an exaggerated reporting by Western Media, still there seems to be some basic truth about the information.

To divert the attention of the Chinese masses who were unhappy with the mis-management on food front, Mao Tse Tung, seems to have ventured to invade Tibet, and India.

Today also, many actions of China, seem to forebode Chinese intentions of voracious territorial greed, as can be evidenced by its hunting into the South China Sea, threatening all the Nations in the vicinity of South China Sea.

895 (First of 10 series) FREE things which are illusory and imaginary in Capitalism can become REAL only with GREAT EFFORTS AND FORESIGHTED PLANNING

We come across Presidents, Prime Ministers, Provincial Governors, Governors of States in India, Chief Ministers of States in India, Collectors (District Administrators) of approx. 800 Districts in India, who else not, giving banquets, lunches, dinners to hundreds and thousands of guests, at Public Expense inviting VIPs (Very Important Persons) as guests. In such feasts and parties, there may be several courses, can be even a 1000 in number, and nobody cares about their expenses, both in affluent countries, and poverty-stricken countries. In India, we may not be able to get information on such lavish expenditures from the concerned Government Offices, even under Right to Information Act.

In United States, there seems to be some transparency in such matters. Here is a link to a beautiful report in Times of India dated Barack Obama's dinner for PM Manmohan Singh most expensive since 2009: Report PTI 13th Feb. 2014 Click here to go to http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Barack-Obamas-dinner-for-PM-Manmohan-Singh-most-expensive-since-2009-Report/articleshow/30298497.cms. This was before the 2014 Parliament Elections in India, i.e. when Mr. Manmohan Singh was Prime Minister, and Mr. Narendra Modi was still awaiting in queue for PM gaddi (seat).

In response to a Freedom of Information request to which it took the state department 13 months to respond, CBS News has obtained the Office of Protocol's expense calculations for the first five state dinners of the Obama presidency.

The Obama administration spent $572,187.36 for the State Dinner for PM Manmohan Singh at the White House on November 24, 2009.

Obama hosted Mexican President Felipe Calderon on May 19, 2010 at a cost of $563,479.92.

He held his third State Dinner on January 19, 2011 for Chinese President Hu Jintao at a cost of $412,329.73.

Obama held the fourth State Dinner on June 7, 2011 for German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the cost was $215,883.36.

The fifth State Dinner was held on October 13, 2011 for South Korean President Lee Myung-bak at a cost of $203,053.34, the CBS report said.

ybrao-a-donkey's personal views which are not intended to be imposed on others

How much Mr. Manmohan Singh might have, in reciprocation, spent on dinners to various visiting international functionaries, during his tenure as PM, between 2004 and 2014? Nobody knows. Amounts can also vary on method of computation, question of-- whether any particular item of expenditure is to be included/counted under varios heads.

Many people hailed Mr. Barack Obama as a sort of messiah, when he got elected twice, as a 'Black' President, who has taken an incarnation to resurrect the suffering masses, particularly the blacks. Mr. Obama as a President of United States, led with a charismatic personality. But his eight years rule, might not have brought any significant change in the lives of poor Americans. By and large, a status quo ante was maintained.

Now, Mr. Donald Trump has come as the New President. How much he is going to spend on State banquets, lunches, and dinners, tea parties? Considering the flamboyance of Mr. Trump, I cannot think of any tangible figure in advance. We have to wait and see.

893 (Part 1 of 10 series ) How did a dictator like Mr. Mao Tse Tung wake up to start a New Party in his tyrannical Empire?

Late Mao's image courtesy Wikipedia.org.
DeccanChronicle.Com, published from its archive, a 50 year old news which says that Mr. Mao Tse Tung, the Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party has decided to have a new Communist Party for China based on one hundred percent 'Maoism' , and if necessary the new party would be set up in parallel to the existing one. Link to read this 50 year old news: Click here to go to the Deccan Chronicle.Com, to read this newsreport.

Tokyo, Jan. 25, 1967.
"...The Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party has decided to have a new Communist Party for China based on one hundred percent 'Maoism' , and if necessary the new party would be set up in parallel to the existing one. ..."

ybrao-a-donkey's observations, which are not intended to be imposed on others

Even in 2017, we find that there is no second party in China. That means, either Mr. Mao Tse Tung could not succeed in launching his second party in 1967. Or, he might have launched, but subsequently it might have been merged either by himself or his successors, into the Old Chinese Communist Party.

Normally, Dictators and Life Time Presidents ruling countries do not think of themselves launching a second party, or allow others to start a rival party to the official totalitarian ruling party. There must have been exceptional circumstances which might have forced Late Mao Tse Tung to talk of a new party. Might be, at that particular point of Chinese History, Mao Tse Tung might have lost control over the party founded by himself, and kept it under his feet. There must have been some internal revolt.

I am not a supporter or sympathizer of Mr. Mao Tse Tung. As a school boy, I might have developed my dislike for Mao and China, probably because he himself ordered or acquiesced when China invaded India in 1962, and occupied about 36,000 sq. miles of Indian Territory in Arunachal Pradesh, and Ladakh (Jammu & Kashmir). Besides, under his leadership itself, in 1959 China tromped on Tibet and occupied it. In its history, Mao-Dictated China never respected the rights of other Nations. His successors are continuing the same policies even in 2017.

(Mother) Communist Party of India split in 1962, While the Rightists in the erstwhile Communist Party in India supported USSR (Soviet Russia) and Late Indira Gandhi, the Leftists who formed a separate party CPIM adored China and Mao Tse Tung. In those days, CPIM chose to acquiesce/ ignore the territorial aggressions of China.

Question: Why are you digging up/ raking up this question now? Mr. Mao Tse Tung exists only in history now!

Ans: True. Mr. Mao is dead long back. But the problem of viewing Communism / Marxism / Total Socialism (as distinct from Fabian Gradualist Socialism), as something draconian and anachronistic / obsolete / outdated theory is continuing, by those who get their crumbs from the Capitalist Tycoons. Personally, I (yb-a-donkey) viewed Communism / Marxism / Total Socialism as something which can be executed / implemented with democratic fervour. In my previous blogposts, I have always proposed and tried to popularise the idea that several Communist / Marxist / Total Socialist Parties can co-exist side by side and compete with one another, just as bourgeoisie parties contest and compete with one another in a Capitalist Economies and States.

LACK OF COMPETITION CAN ROT ANY SYSTEM, INCLUDING COMMUNIST / MARXIST /SOCIALIST SYSTEMS

Any system can atrophy, decay and stagnate when there is no healthy competition, and Communism is not an exception. Maoism under the dictatorship of Mao tse Tung too rotted as long as there was one party rule of his own party. IN Jan. 1967, Mr. Mao might have found some rivals, who were earlier his followers, rising their heads, and challenging his authority with sizable support from Members of the Party. A situation might have arisen where Late Mao might have found himself in a precarious stage of being dumped by his own followers. As a strategy he might have thought of a new Party, to challenge his rivals.

IT IS GOOD THAT INDIAN COMMUNIST PARTIES HAVE JOINED MAINSTREAM ELECTION POLITICS.

It is good that Indian Communist Parties, with the exception of Maoists of AOB Border, an some pockets of JhanKhand and West Bengal, have accepted democratic method of participating in elections. The problem with them is, they behave like bourgeoisie parties, owing to electoral compulsions. Deviations from the Basic Principles of Communism made them lose public sympathy, and they have become laughing stock. Occasionally, they lament jointly and severally, that Communists should get united, work jointly, to defeat Congress or BJP or some other party. As at 2017, the combined voting power of CPI and CPIM will not be sufficient to displace BJP or Congress. Then, what will be the using of their contesting together? Every Communist Party in India, by whatever name it is called, has to reinvent itself with better public images, but without parting with the basic tenets of Communism and Marxism.

Communist Parties should compete, and not unite

Competing Communist Parties, to popularise their Total Socialist principles and strategies, can prove to the Indian Citizens and also the outside world, that Communism is not an outdated totalitarian-dictatorial-tyrannical doctrine, but a vibrant-people-responsive practically working philosophy, which strives to bring in justice to the suffering Working Class. Indian Communist Parties have another problem.

Failure of Organised Sector Workers to help Unorganised Sector Workers

Communist Parties have an erroneous impression that the Organised Sector Unionised Workers who successfully coerced their employers to part with some sort of good wages, will work for the upliftment of unorganised sector multitudes and workers. This Organised Sector Employees uplifting the Unorganised Sector Workers, has not taken place because the Organised Sector Workers started spending their earnings on gold, share market investments, speculative real estate transactions cornering large number of house-sites and houses, becoming absentee-landlords of agricultural farms. The Organised Sector of Working Class forgot that it has a responsibility for its brother workers who are toiling in unorganised sector. Organised Working Class has started looking down upon the starving and suffering unorganised workers, as somebody suffering from contagious diseases. Organised Sector started believing that they themselves have merit to deserve higher pay and perks.

Was Long March so glorious and so true?

Personally, I have considered in the past, and even now I consider that Long March was exaggerated and magnified beyond proportions by hagio-graphic writers. This area of hagiographic hyperbolic magnifications of Long March need greater investigation.
