The Marxist sentiments portrayed in The God of Small Things are in some
ways representative of the actual political climate of Kerala. In 1957
Kerala became the first state in the world (with the exception of the
Italian principality of San Marino) to form a democratically elected
communist government. In 1970 Kerala became the first state in India to
abolish landlordism. Kerala is presently a democratic state, and is
still under Marxist control.

"The Centrality Of Leninism" by Prabhat Patnaik.

THE theoretical ideas of the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution, whose
89th anniversary we are celebrating this week, are usually
characterised as constituting the Marxism of the era of monopoly
capitalism. This doubtless is true. But Leninism is also something
more: it is the theory of Marxist practice.
