Interestingly, it was the CPM (Communist Party of India (Marxist)) government of West Bengal that ordered the massacre. The party is a coalition partner in the federal government where it routinely opposes any move towards what it calls "globalisation" and "liberalisation". As a matter of further interest the CPM draws its inspiration from the Chinese Communist Party, an outfit not known to be averse to massacres on an even grander scale.
