"Narokio"

Yesterday I went on to see the latest production of “Pancham Vaidik”, the Bengali play “Narokio”. It is based on Jean Paul Sartre’s play “No Exit” written in the mid-40s of the twentieth century. In this plat director Arpita Ghosh has purposefully depicted its on of the main characters, corrupted politician Samrat Sircar as Comrade Joseph Stalin. Though in the original play “No Exit”, the central character Garcin, a reporter, who was liar and immoral, had no resemblance with Stalin. Arpita has a constant habit of maligning Comrade Stalin, the great teacher of the proletariat. In her previous play “Poshukhamar”, which was based on “Animal Farm” written by George Orwell, she attacked Stalin policies and Soviet Union’s proletarian state. In the play, it was shown that Stalin’s regime was repressive and anti-democratic. George Orwell, who claimed to be a Marxist, was originally an Anti-communist and a supporter of bourgeois democracy. He was against Dictatorship of the Proletariat and socialism. He was aided and funded by imperialist powers, the main enemy of communism and working class, to attack socialism and to malign its leaders. Persons like Arpita Ghosh and Saoli Mitra are the supporters of that so called “Orwellian communism” which is an anti-socialist ideology to counter the real thoughts and aspects of socialism and communism. These self proclaimed champions of humanity judge Comrade Stalin’s thoughts and activities by the anti-people policies of CPIM, which is a revisionist social-democratic party and no a real communist party in any case. People who don’t know the abc of communism should not have the right to judge and criticize the great leaders of communism.
In her last column in The Telegraph, Malavika Singh called Comrade Stalin and Comrade Mao Tse Tung mass-murderers. These types of miss-propagandas are based on utter lies and misinformation. Imperialist powers always have their paid agents and whores as have their weapons to fight communism.

Since I've not yet been able to watch the said play, I'm not quite sure how just it would be for me to comment here on the director's viewpoint; but I must say that according to Sartre's symbolic references (in 'No Exit'), Joseph Gracin's moral sins were lust, adultery & cowardice. I don't think Stalin had either of these.
