SIMPLIFYING MARX IN TELUGU From Ashok Das HYDERABAD: The innate difficulties of understanding Karl Marx's Das Kapital have spawned a number of guide books and expositions in Indian languages. But few of these books could claim to have generated such extreme sentiments as Ranganayakamma's recently published 4 volume Telugu work titled 'Marx Capital Parichayam'. While literary circles consider the work as the simplest exposition of Capital and would bring more people closer to understanding Marx, the left parties such as CPI, CPM and various Naxalite groups have chosen to ignore her work. However, the book has a number of genuine admirers in these parties. The prevailing sentiment among the left intellectuals was aptly described by late K.P. Satyanarayana, the Marxist historian. 'We are living in the dark age of communist movement.

It is evident from the way Ranganyakamma's book was ignored,' he had announced in a public meeting soon after the first part of the five-volume book was released to a total media blockout in 1978. A section in both Communist parties feel that the need of the book was never more pronounced as at present. The Communist movement in the State is in crossroads. Not only the inner conflict among various groups and sub-groups have subverted the cause, the mass mobilization at grassroot level has virtually come to a standstill. Similarly a new generation is coming up, who believed in soft options. There is, of course, another Telugu translation of Kapital but that is only an abridged edition.

What makes Ranganayakamma's book distinctly separate is its sheer readability. She says her book is aimed at an average literate person.

To achieve this feat, she has taken 13 years to read and interpret Marx. She has not only given elaborate footnotes but also many simple indigenous examples to illustrate the points made by Marx. TRAIL BLAZER: The non-acceptance of Ranganayakamma by the Communist parties as well as the establishment writers is apparently because she is an iconoclast. Both as a person and a writer, she is shockingly unconventional. Born into a typical middleclass conservative family and married to a stranger at the age of 20, she annuled her marriage after twelve years and three children and came to stay at Hyderabad with Mr. Gandhi, a professor friend, nine years her junior, without any legal or formal marriage.
