What we Indians are best at is in managing the contradictions: even Comrades who take inspiration from all-or-nothing models of politics and philosophies are not exempt from this: in fact, they are better than others at this Indian speciality of managing the contradictions:
I laughed at varnam excoriating our Keralite comrades for putting up posters of Saddam Hussein and making noise about our ties with Israel, here:
"While the party is against Israel, one of their ministers, C. Divakaran of CPI, wanted to import Israeli bulls to impregnate Malayali cows; the Kerala bulls were only good for calling hartals. The goal of this exercise was to combine business and pleasure - for the Israeli bulls. The Israeli bulls were expected to do their magic and many mooos later milk production was to increase by 20%. Even the farmers unions were enthusiastic about this: they identified the hill station of Mattupetti for the bulls to sing songs."
