Dr. Ambedkar on Communist Party
of India
“The Communist Party was
originally in the hands of some Brahman boys- Dange and others. They have been
trying to win over the Maratha community and Scheduled Castes. But they have
made no headway in Maharashtra. Why? Because they are mostly a bunch of Brahman
boys. The Russians made a great mistake to entrust the Communist movement in
India to them. Either the Russians did not want Communism in India- they wanted
only drummer boys- or they did not understand.”

and 9/10/53 at Alipore Road, Delhi by Selig Harrison in “Most Dangerous Decades”
published by Oxford Press.
