thus can it guide the revolution to victory and contribute to the cause of the proletarian world revolution . To keep on integrating theory with practice , a proletarian party must maintain close ties with the masses , go deep among them and adopt the method of leadership , “ from the masses , to the masses ,” so that the party ’ s correct line and principles can be translated into mass action . At the same time it should be good at summing up experience and lessons , carry out criticism and self-criticism , persist in doing what is right and correct what is wrong in the interests of the people , and find out the laws of development through practice in struggle and then use them to guide the practical struggle .

Raja , however , sounded a word of caution on the current strained Indo-China relationship .
The border dispute that had been going on since India ’ s Independence needed to be solved , Mr . Raja said . “ We do believe we have to solve this problem now through peaceful means so that our both countries can play a meaningful role to realise the peace and stability in the region and work together for the establishment of an equitable global order in international relations .” -From The Hindu , 02-07-2021 . v
