Subject: [mlg-ics] A harsh attack on my book in an Indian Marxist journal,      and my reply

Dear friends:

In August a leading writer for the Marxist (revisionist) Indian
communist journal "Mainstream" published a crude attack on my book
_Khrushchev Lied_.

My friend Vijay Singh in New Delhi obtained the editor's promise to
publish a response by me. Vijay thought it very important that I write a
response, since "Mainstream" is, evidently, the most widely read Marxist
journal in India, and Marxism is a big force in India, though it's the
revisionist variety.

Anil Rajimwala's attack on _Khrushchev Lied_, _Mainstream_ August 4, 2012:

A Pathetic Defence of Stalinist Repressions

GF reply to Rajimwala's attack, _Mainstream_ October 27, 2012:

Sincerely,

Grover Furr
