I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

If you'd like help with anything that can be offered from an Anglophone perspective (obviously you're going to have better access than me to the robust and interesting material from Indian communists*), I or a ton of other people on my instance or lemmygrad would love to help, and we've got people from all over (I'm pretty sure including India, we just don't get many "As an Indian" posts) who can offer their perspectives too.

*This isn't just lip-service. Aside from what can be tied to movements like the Naxals or the people of Kerala, I think Utsa Patnaik has some very compelling writing.
