| Summary/Abstract |
This article compares the fortunes of the government coalitions under the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPI(M) in Kerala, West Bengal and Tripura. The pattern of development and the success of the coalitions differ. In Kerala, the Left has lost every other election, whereas in West Bengal and Tripura, it has won many consecutive elections. West Bengal has seen stagnation in terms of human development, whereas Kerala and Tripura turned-to different degrees-into model states for human development. It is argued that the reasons for these different paths are to be found in the different strategies followed by the regional party units. Developmental success has been delivered through a mobilisation-based approach which has been followed inKerala and Tripura, but given up in West Bengal. This study explores thethree cases and elaborates on the reasons for the choice of strategies in the three states.

| Summary/Abstract |
We may admit it or not, but we have gradually become intellectual parasites of the West. Most of the field work in the Third World countries is undertaken by western countries and the scholars of the Third World depend on them without suspecting the intent of the authors, their selection and presentation of data and even conclusions drawn. In our haste to “CATCH UP WITH THE WEST,” we did not learn from the West, but emulated it, and in our desperation became its shadows – neither equal, nor different nor self-sustaining. Information in possession of the West is a tool for dominating the rest of the world, rather than understanding it. In ideal epistemological estimation, western literati is more ill-informed and indoctrinated than we ourselves are.
