Letters to the Editor
More Than Cricket
Dear comrades,
I am writing from a rural village of India, Kerala.
I am very much thankful to you, I got your March and April issue. I always anxiously wait its arrival every month. I and my colleagues read the articles and attached files.
I am very much happy because some like minded fellows are working for a common aim like me and my organisation, that kind of thought will gave me a thrilling emotion.
We could not hear anything before I subscribe to your organ. We heard only about the Australian cricket team but when heard about your organ and Australian Communist Party, which is very thrilling.
I think political theatre groups are well developed in your country. I know one of the theatre activists from your country, Dave Rile. If you know him my kind regards to him.
Long live proletarian Internationalism.
Long live the Unity of the Oppressed.
Comradely
Murukesh.K
