Dear Daniel,

the duo mentioned by you is working not only in Muslim dominated areas but in a secular country like India for long time. I shall explain the reasons for this co-ordination. This works at the cost of keeping the society deprived, poor and marginalised in spite of tremendous strength and opportunities.

India is poor, mismanaged and deprived even after sixty years of independence. After Independence, Jawaharlal Nehru, First Prime Minister of India wanted only Congress party at helm of Indian affairs in a democratic veil. For this aim, he was ready to do anything. He was ready to sacrifice anything. He did so very meticulously at the cost of keeping Indians poor permanently (at least that is what appears till now).

Even after more than sixty years of independence, Indian are unable to come out of the rut created by Nehru. Indians are unable to unlearn Nehru, unable to unlearn Gandhi, unable to unlearn poor and unable to come out of poverty.

In all these fabricated scenario, it was desirable for Nehru to ensure that no party with Hindu agendas should emerge strong enough because once party with Hindu strength come to power, Nehru and Gandhi will be unlearned first. To achieve this one side when he crushed Hindu dominated beliefs on the other he propagated non-Hindu beliefs. In this bargain, communism was kept alive in this country in spite of being non-communism and Islam were given due wait age without any concrete development of Muslims.

Therefore India saw a very close proximity of Islam and communism in last four to five decades. Today the situation is that Islam and Left are ready to ditch the party (like UPA) through which Left ruled for five years and now they are making third front and fourth front. They can go to any level to be in power at the cost of poor.

Now most poor are from the community of Islam across the world. Similarly, people from communist ruled states are poor. So from my point of view, poor across the world are from Islam and Communism. So they have to make lobby. They have to get united. Because I do not think that any progressive party or group would like to unite with these deprived, conservative and outdated societies, so they have to be together.

However as per my theory of human growth, Muslim or communist can never grow till the time they continue worshiping medieval philosophies and keep following primitive rules and regulations. So for years to come, when clash of civilisation is going on, the unity between Islam and Left will remain prevalent. The simple rise of Barrack Obama to the Presidentship of the most powerful country in the world will not be enough to eradicate these deprivations from the conservative societies.
