Comrade Sitaram Yechury’s Inspiriting Journey
It is easy for a leader to work with hope when the party is on the rise and things are going well. It is far more difficult to maintain equanimity when the party is in decline. It is not easy to build alliances with those with whom one has ideological differences while maintaining one’s ideology which is contrary to that of the others. As it is, being Left in a capitalist system is difficult at the best of times. Perhaps JNU played a small part in making Sitaram Yechury what he was – an affable democrat who was widely admired.
