[Thread on Solidarity] In 1992, after the USSR folded, the Cuban Revolution was forced into its Special Period. We - in @cpimspeak - collected 10,000 tonnes of wheat & rice across India for Cuba as an act of material solidarity.

The wheat and rice were taken to Haldia (West Bengal) and loaded onto a ship - Caribbean Princess. The ship was escorted to Cuba by our party leaders Harkrishen Singh Surjeet and MA Baby. Castro met them in Havana and took the wheat and rice for the country.
For the next period, Castro said, let all the bread baked in Cuba be known as the Bread of India, since it would be using Indian grain, grain of solidarity, grain of love for the example of the Cuban Revolution.
