A comment on just this part:

"One observation I would like to make here is that India with its 1 billion population ( about 14% of the world's population) gets very little attention in the international press. What happens in India, in my opinion will have a vital bearing on future world events. I suggest that marxmail should focus and initiate discussion on Indian developments, especially in the light of the growing importance of the Left Parties in Indian politics."

I couldn't agree more. The exception re: coverage in the press -- and an important one -- is that of India's software/call center/data processing and similar industries, covered primarily to pit Indian workers against those in the US. Which could of course be turned around...

And hopefully discussion on marxmail could interact with that on the foil (Friends of the Indian Left) list.

(Marla's latest reminds me: when I read her original post it made me wonder again whether a coming Indian revolution would provide in decades coming a unique example of uneven and combined development: i.e., a revolution resting on the one hand on a still-heavily peasant population, yet also on a massive, heavily-organized working class, both factory and office, and finally on an unparalleled concentration of tech workers (some of whom work in software companies which have developed the most advanced databases used by some of the biggest multinationals).
