Both entities thrive on poverty, illiteracy and religious and cultural backwardness. Without these factors, these two ideologies cannot survive.
Amrit explains why communists and fundamentalist Muslims collude in times of need to protest inane and obviously wrong causes. I guess, they have their own axe to grind in the process.

Hey nice post patrix, I had a kinda related question:
Which is the State that is most friendly to Business in India? Which State should Indian entrepreneurs look to setup their business?
Which State has the least beaureacratic red-tape? A robust police-force, fast resolution of legal disputes?
Can anybody give a ranking?
Note: let’s assume the business does not involve natural resources, and there is easy access to labor of all skill-levels.
PS – I’m gonna keep asking this question across the blogosphere till someone answers it. I’m serious.

SUV, I guess they have a study out there about which state is the most business-friendly in the country and I’m sure they should have some government response studies as well. A little googling might help.

I think Tamilnadu came out first in overall parameters. I don’t have the link right now but I’ll look. Chennai was rated higher than all other cities because of not only an excellent business climate, but also business friendly policies of the state government, robust law and order machinery with quick resolution of business disputes and court cases, excellent schools and colleges (for the labor talent at all levels), highest work ethics of the labor force, very good medical infrastructure, good public transport, communication facilities including earth stations and internet gateways, access to international air and sea ports, very little labor turnover/stability of labor, city life that can appeal to both the traditional and the modern, cheap land prices, overall cost of living and good quality of life.
Maybe just two things that may not appeal to someone coming from another state are the hot, hotter and hottest weather as well as the water problem (which has seen an improvement recently with rain water harvesting, a reasonably good and above-average rainfall last year. A few years back, Harvard did a study and found that Tamilnadu/Chennai were the best investment destinations. Unlike other states, the level of urbanization in Tamilnadu is high and there are second-tier cities like Coimbatore which are industrial belts in their own right.
