Who would have thought?

Two of the twenty eight states in India are run by Communists. Who would have thought that anyone would consent to being ruled by communists? Yes, these are communists that are in power because someone voted them into office.

Inconceivable, yet real.

West Bengal is one of those states. It is right next to Bangaladesh and is where "Bengal tigers" are historically from.



The second state is Kerala, on the south-western coast of India. It is also run by Communists.



With that said, West Bengal is positioning itself as being the next place that should be the focal point of the tech boom here. And Kerala is filled with beautiful resorts that cater to European tourists.

Communists just aren't what they used to be.
