We received this document from comrade Neeraj Jain in Pune, India.
For twenty years comrade Neeraj was active in the Maoist movement in
India. Then recently he discovered the writings of Trotsky. As he says,
“I only began reading Trotsky a year ago. It was a revelation! It was
writing in the best tradition of Marx, Engels and Lenin. It came as a
shocker to me… the Maoist movement in India is silent on Trotsky’s
criticisms of Stalin, criticisms which are totally in the spirit of
Marxism-Leninism.” We may not necessarily agree on everything comrade
Neeraj has to say about Mao, but we believe this document is of great
interest as it shows that among comrades from a Maoist background there
is a rethinking taking place and the writings of Trotsky have a big
role to play in the process.
