St. George And Communism
Sir, —Your issue of Saturday last on Page 6 carried two contrasting articles regarding communism. That contributed by Mr O C. Mazengarb used legends about the fabled St. George and the Dragon as a build-up to an attack on communism according to prejudiced bourgeois views and of developments in eastern Asia as a modern dragon, needing to be slain by a modern St. George. Well, India is part of eastern Asia, and the other article from a man on the spot tells of Communist Party gains by democratic elections in the highly literate province of Kerala, where a Communist majority has formed a government. The policy and programme of this Government can be described as left-wing Labour Party. What is Mr Mazengarb’s St. George to do there? Destroy democracy? Then who is to be the modern St. George?—Yours, etc., A.H.S.H. April 22, 1957.
