This non-post is prompted by the recent reply of kolicAla surEsh.
Sometime ago (perhaps an year-and-a-half, to two years) there was some
discussion on writers in general, "progressive" writers in particular,
and perhaps SrISrI and others of his persuasion. surEsh wondered aloud
as to how these writers, who always had a soft corner for communism in
its various manifestations, are reacting to the current trend of one
communist regime after another collapsing of its own weight. (The said
discussion happened on SCIT).
As far as I can remember, surEsh's question still remains unanswered.
