Sitaram Yechury on caste, China and ‘anti-Dalit’ communists | What’s Your Ism
#sitaramyechury #communism
Amid the ongoing election fever, the Left parties are looking to regain their lost ground. But what are the limitations facing the Red Flag? Why do Indian communists share a difficult relationship with the anti-caste movement? And what is happening in the international communist movement?
In this special two-part episode on What's Your Ism, Sudipto Mondal speaks to the two tallest leaders of the Indian communist movement - Sitaram Yechury, general secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), and D Raja, general secretary of the Communist Party of India.
In part one, Yechury talks about his anti-caste assertions, and confronting caste in his Brahmin household by cutting off his janeu or sacred thread. He also sheds light on the Indian communist’s relationship with the anti-caste movement, laal-neel alliance, and global affairs.
The Marxist politician also speaks about Ukraine war’s connection with India, the commonalities between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Russian counterpart Valdmir Putin, “akhand Russia”, the international communist movement, and his trip to China.

Beautifully done, Sudipto!
good detailed discussion on the finer points instead of strawman arguments, Sudipto should also interview Dipankar from CPML and Sudha Bharadwaj, Anand Teltumbde
Caste is the skeleton and class has been the flesh sculpted over it in Indian context. Mr Yechury admits caste stratification pre dates that of class by centuries so his argument that you do away the ugliness by stitching the flesh whereas caste continues to provide the x-ray to see the bones behind the flesh to identify and hate the man despite the plastic surgery of economic emancipation.
Agree to your point but in this day and age where money or wealth is the biggest motivator or prize this can be nullified by maintaining classless society and the hate you are taking about is evident that will take a lot of social engineering to change that mindset as we are aware how ancient is caste stratification is
@@swarinkeshmayankdas9612 Take the example of blacks in modern America, because of their struggles they have created wealth for themselves but imagine the backlash when Barack Obama becomes the President of America. The majority of whites gather around Mr Donald Trump to threaten the democratic values so carefully preserved and preached by them to the whole world. The right wing with the tacit support of liberal democrats cannot imagine being ruled by blacks because the legacy of slavery still remains in their mind as a hangover from the past. The Mandal movement was similar in the sense that right and left combined in the campuses and started stitching shoes symbolising that they hate sharing campuses dominated by the marginalised. Wealth education does not level the field between sawarnas and awarnas. Caste ghettos exist in modern cities where a dalit cannot buy an apartment despite his financial ability. Bye I hope u understand.

So so rare to see such interviews these days! Very well done
Left view is always different and rational but the problem is it's never in public domain. More such interviews should be given... People should realise atleast the ideology which can take on head-on..
Won't show you coz media is owned!
Just tell me one communist democratic country with opposition parties and press freedom?

How many persons belonged to the'lower' caste,working class,peasantry are on the higher echeleon of the 'communist' parties irrespective of the ideological differences which are not easy -to-understand ?

Dialectical materialism and historical materialism are the key to analyse the world
You may try as hard as you want, but using those two words "Dialectical materialism, historical materialism" wont magically make you intelligent.

If you need to know about my educational background, just Google my name. Unlike communist cowards, I'm not hiding behind anonymity. FYI: Strong people go out into the world to earn a living. Cowards like Marx wait for their wealthy family members to die so that they can inherit their riches. In the meantime, they may exploit their household help.
@@utsabgangopadhyaya4274 One of my friends is from Uttar Pradesh. So he was practically surrounded by Capitalists. He was quite aware of the wretched stupidity and backwardness in them. I googled your name and nothing came relevant to dialectical materialism. And you dismissed his argument about materialism without any valid counter arguments against it, rather you just talked sh!t. That is not something educated people do. Communists are cowards? Aw your crapitalist! Have you ever seen a Communist face to face in your life? They were the ones who defeated the most powerful offensive army ever assembled, defeated them, and hoisted red flag over their capitol building. "FYI: Strong people go out into the world to earn a living. Cowards like Marx wait for their wealthy family members to die so that they can inherit their riches. In the meantime, they may exploit their household help." Just give me a detailed description on what Marx inherited from his family. I can only see bloated bellied buffoons like Anant Ambani inheriting several billions of dollars from his shIthole of a father, who inherited billions of dollars from his father. It seems Capitalists are perfectly fitting your definition of cowards who inherit everything after their family members die.
The thoeory of evolution by natural selection of random mutations is the key to analyse the world.

The credit for pressurising the congress into the adoption of a socialist agenda must go to the communists who always presented an alternative and competitor to the congress which than was overwhelmingly dominated by the minority oppressing castes of bania-bammans. But today when the state under bjp is pushing its crony-capitalist agenda the communists have almost disappeared from the political scene.

for the algo
I think two interviews with leaders of the two communist parties is a must watch at least to understand their viewpoint. Com. D. Raja statement that one should not look at past documents of the party to understand the policies and framing question may not be correct. To understand one must look at the current position. Even Gandhi used to say that what is said in past cannot be guide to his ideas. He should be understood from his latest position. Everyone who evolve its own understanding in light of facts and circumstances are in fact thinking in scientific manner.

Yes this is to curb nuclear abuse like that used to happen in 90s and even older times to give a message that india doesn't want to join the world in war as situation is growing harsh soon they're might be a war weapon industry is wet to sell their armament which will help them in billions
Shashi Tharoor in an interview to Thinkschool spoke about how foreign investors fear about investing in Kerala due to their communist ideology problem. Worth a watch to understand the other argument.
Shashi Tharoor is clearly a Sangi in disguise. Yes, foreign investors fear about the Trade Unions in Kerala, but without them, the migrant workers from UP and other Norther states would be begging in the streets of North India. Foreign investors should heed to Shashi Tharoor's expertise, and hire the migrant workers of UP and see how it works.
@@morningstararun6278 he said that he had arranged for an investor’s meeting to get investors for his state Kerala when he was working for the UN. After the event, none of the investors wanted to invest in Kerala and said they would rather invest across the border in Tamil Nadu where they can get all the benefits that they can get in Kerala n they do not need deal with the uncertainty of investing in a communist state n their trade unions! Calling tharoor a sanghi is ridiculous as you are just labelling anybody n everybody as a sanghi for not agreeing with your far left ideology!
@@ASeeker-9999 Lol go ask your "Non" - Sanghi Tharoor, why these investors never set up their factories in cowbelt states when Congress was the ruling party there, since those states didn't have the problem of trade unions and such.

Sangi Tharoor has to ask himself why is it that the migrant workers from North India are saying that they are better off working in Kerala than anywhere else?
*Gautam Buddha was the first scientific communist of the world. He was the champion of social and economic equatlity. He rejected the Hindu religious theories of Vedas, religious books, soul, God, incarnation etc.etc.etc* *He was the natural child of his parents i.e mother and father. Buddha was a welfare economist and was also a democrat.* *Once all the untouchables of India were Buddhists and proud to be Buddhist.*
It's Dialectical materialism which is Scientific!
Buddhism is again a Human construct and not absolute in any sense! It created as many tragedies in the name of reincarnations, Bodhisatva and whatnot! Gautam Budha was not scientific at all and his teachings are purely based upon metaphysical notions of things which leads to situations like we see in Tibet, Mongolia, Sri Lanka or even Myanmar... It resulted in the rise of Tyrants like Ashoka or Pol Pot of the Khmer Rouge And is not because of the leaders but the people who followed Buddhism...
@@aryansingh-ne9je 1) What are views of Karl Marx on Varna Ashram war and Caste War in Indian society.? 2)There is a lot of difference between Class war and Caste war and Varna Ashram war. 3) Varna and Caste are by Birth.

@@utsabgangopadhyaya4274💀
this is why the cpm will never do anything of value to the poor in Indian. He says it is anti communist when the topic of caste comes up where as CPI has no issue bringing it up. Communism has nothing to do with it. CMP doesn't represent the whole of communists in India so saying it is anti communist to point out caste ignorance of CPM is disingenuous. CPI has no issue bringing it up. Yachury here sounds like any other caste blind liberal. Being caste blind or not talking about caste doesn't solve casteims. The issues have to be addressed. The braminical leadership of CPM is very evident of its caste hierarchy. Take the walayar case and Pinarayi there he was ignorant to the problems and injustice faced by the poor tribals because the oppressors were on CPM's side. Communists other than CMP has no problem with addressing intersectionality of oppression and exploitation of capitalism but with CPM it begins and ends with class and class only.
😊
This is the problem with Communist party of India.. they always think their ideological forefathers are Russian.. could never oppose the position of Russia.. Russia is also an expansionist like Nato, otherwise what was they doing in Eastern europe in the name of USSR.. Recently I been to Latvia, Romania.. two of the most devastated countries due to this USSR. They really just don't want to talk about that period of 1960 to 1990.. when USSR at its peak..
The ideological foundations of socialism are from Marx and Engles at the most basic level, who were german. They themselves were influenced by Hegel (classical german philosopher), Adam Smith and David Ricardo (English Political Economists). Then that theory was expanded upon by Lenin (the russian revolutionary), but also by other revolutionaries around the world (be it Rosa Luxembourg, Walter Rodeney, Charu Majumdar etc). Its an internationalist movement with an internationalist outlook.
If you live in modern-day India, you'll think Nehruvian India was a disaster and now we are entering Amritkaal. Just because a narrative about history takes hold in a society at a particular time, doesn't mean it's true. It really reeks of a strong anti-intellectualism when you describe a historical period by referring to "what people were saying when I visited recently".
@@ABBartan not all narratives are created equal, although I agree that you shouldn't make historical judgements based on thoughts of those living today, that doesn't invalidate them either. Nehruvian India was not a disaster but it wasn't a grand success either, it largely failed at the goals it set for itself as was apparent by Nehru's 3rd term or even his critics across the political spectrum at the time, though for a post-colonial state it did better than most. Soviet expansion into Latvia and Romania weren't peaceful democratic exercises and didn't install some free worker-peasant council republics, Soviet rule in Latvia came about through diplomatic pressure to acquire military bases in the country and then military occupation of the country following the secret sections of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, leading to the dismemberment of independent Latvia established during the Russian civil war, and then even when they retook it by the end of ww2, they still faced a decade long insurgency in the form of the forest brothers. Although Baltics were better off than many other republics in the USSR by the 80s they still faced many issues and were facing a similar kind of settler colonialism as during the days of the Russian Empire, and the baltics were the first countries to breakoff from the USSR in popular protests if I recall correctly. As for Romania that country faced a similar pattern of takeover as rest of the Eastern European countries liberated by USSR during ww2 just with it's king being an extra obstacle, the pattern being- soviet military occupation intimidates and destroys non-communist outfits on ground under the guise of ending fascism, a non-communist PM is initially installed but pressured into having communists in key positions like interior and defence ministries, eventually the local communists and soviets force the PM out of power and install a new communist PM who forms a supposedly multi-party coalition government, new rigged elections are held to maintain a facade of abiding by the promises made to the western allies, the communist-aligned coalition secures a massive majority, and in the case of Romania completely takes over the security apparatus and finally removes King Michael. In the case of Romania, their long time communist dictator starting from the 60s Nicolae Ceaucescu portrayed himself as a nationalist fiercely defending Romanian independence from Moscow, to that end he maintained good relations with the west and criticized soviet foreign policy, while initially appearing to relax authoritarianisn during his early rule, ended up establishing a NK style totalitarian regime and oversaw an economic decline, debt crisis, and a austerity programme which led to a big decline in the standard of living of average Romanian, all contributing to his kinda famous violent overthrow, no wonder they don't have good memories of that time.

Since its birth in 1964, cpl(m) advocated people's democratic revolution. In 1967 the party suddenly changed its opinion and participated in elections. Since then cpi(m) has become a votebaj party. This party has completely bowed before indian bourgeoise parliamentary system and indian capilatist economic system. Was it deviation? No. Actually cpi(m) was never a communist party. Nor is it a communist party now. This party is a revisionist off-shoot of revisionist cpi which betrayed the epoch-making telengana farmers' movement to appease nehru and congress party.
On the question of caste, Mr Yechuri comes across as an entitled Brahmin liberal. Refusing to accept his privilege as a person from an upper caste background is a curse for such parties and sadly, it still is the reality.
He was misquoted...Is there any documentary record of this conversation apart from the slander hurled by Ambedkarites? Yechury's limited point was that he wasn't aware of who in Bengal cabinet is or isn't Dalit. To slanderously add the ridiculous line that "society instead of raising itself to the level of me, a Brahmin, is making me to stool down to the level of Kanshi Ram" is plain malicious.
@@ABBartan Why was Mr Yechuri not aware of his caste? Because of his caste blindness, no? And who can afford to be caste blind in our country? Upper caste people, no? Mr Yechuri himself said that he removed his sacred thread. How can he then act like he didn't know his caste?
@@anand4244 honestly you can suggest he was ignorant on this matter, but the bare fact is that in those times, politics was not determined by the social composition of ministries. It was not the dominant discourse of the time, and to the extent it did happen, it was a strand of conservative politics of the Congress (keeping different upper-caste and middle-caste groups happy by giving tickets to their leaders). Yes communist politics took pride in itself based on the negation of this logic of political convenience. Times have changed. Now BJP, Congress etc each party mentions how many OBCs and Dalits are in their ministries. As we just witnessed, Yechury was also sharp to reply that the Devasom ministry in Kerala is handled by a Dalit. It is a reflection of the importance given to this discourse now. Does it actually amount to a better politics though? I doubt. Successive governments have presided over waves of privatization and reduction in public investment to the point that nutritional poverty and unemployment has increased to the point of catastrophic heights in the same liberalization period in which this discourse has become important for parties. Even in terms of annihilation of caste, there was a time in the 90s when parties like BSP would seriously prosletyze against the ideologies embedded in Hindu social relations and gradually they surrendered to the mere logic of representation politics, even endorsing Hindutvadi politics at times. Perhaps it is better consciously distribute portfolio according to social composition, but when that becomes the central question around which politics revolves instead of actual policy and ideology, one is doomed to a nihilistic and despairing political environment.

25:49 just because both of you were getting Soviet support back in the day doesn't mean you have to still blindly follow whatever bs Moscow is saying today. CPI (ML) somehow has a more sane understanding of global affairs than both of the established communist parties in this instance. Russia was manipulating Ukrainian politics for decades, and when the Ukrainian people overthrew Yanukovych, a Russian backed corrupt oligarch during Euromaidan protests and started moving closer to EU and NATO, Russia panicked, used the presence of Russian language speakers in donbass to fuel a civil war in the country and illegally occupied Crimea with unmarked Russian soldiers. Ofc any Ukrainian government after this will try to ally with NATO when the alternative is either agreeing to Russian demands (weakening the central government, giving a portion of their country effective independence) which going by their historical experience and that of other Eastern European countries will only lead to an eventual loss of independence. If this were happening in Latin America (idk with Cuba) you people would be the first to support anti-imperialist struggle against American oppression or whatever but because its happening in Eastern Europe suddenly there's a Mearsheimer style realist geopolitics analysis of spheres of infleunce to justify aggression by a poor helpless Russia being cornered by evil global capitalist-imperialist NATO and USA into having no choice but to militarily invade Ukraine to pre-emptively protect itself from a joint NATO operation to capture Moscow. 29:27 conveniently leaving out the civil war that happened in between, where the bolsheviks millitarily put down independence movements in Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Mountain Republic, Basmarchi rebels in central, and probably many others, while Poland, Finland and the Baltic states managed to millitarily win against the bolsheviks and whites, thereby securing their independence during the interwar period. It's easy to have republics voluntarily acede to your union when those opposing it have been killed or exiled, and only those ideologically loyal to you are in charge of those republics. I think I'll lose my sanity trying to correct all the historical misinformation Yechury is spewing, but it's pretty standard for orthodox marxists worldwide to whitewash Soviet history.
