The communists should not follow the logic of `eye for the eye'. That logic is more suitable to the fascists.The Students Federation of India in Kerala should learn some political wisdom from the early communist comrade Krishna Pillai. Once comrade Krishna Pillai was badly beaten up by the Congress goons and he was hospitalised. Other communist leaders including my own father, K. Damodaran rushed to the hospital in order to find their comrade in extremely bad condition with bandages all over his body as well as his head. Unbearable to watch their comrade in such a situation, the communist leaders decided that they should take immediate revenge. But Krishna Pillai opposed. His argument was that `we must oppose them politically in this situation and not physically'. Finally, all the leaders agreed with him. If the communist movement has made a dent in Kerala, it is because of the politics which they have expressed in favour of the marginalised and not because of their physical poower. If in Bengal they are losing out, it is entirely due to the expression of physical power rather than their politics in favour of the marginalised. I hope some leaders within the communist movement in Kerala will follow the wisom of comrade Krishna Pillai and guide the youth in Kerala.
