Many comrades in our party act as though they exist independently of their surroundings and what came before themselves; they act as though they “fell out of a coconut tree” as Dr. Shyamala keenly observed.

Our first step to ensure the total eradication of “coconut mentality” from our ranks must be a thorough analysis of its causes.
