No single political movement in India should assume that it represents the nucleus of a radical left alternative, but be ready to build principled alliances.

Speech delivered at the International Conference on the Global Crisis and Hegemonic Dilemmas (New Delhi, Nov.8-10). [Speech by Vanaik starts in minute 56.]

The re-alignment of the left requires not loyalty to an organisation, but loyalty to principled politics, argues Achin Vanaik.
