I understand that leftists sometimes criticize him because he's part of the Communist Party of India which is viewed as perpetuating misogyny
I'm definitely not an expert on this issue. But I've read through the footnotes of people critiquing him for this, and it just seemed uber disingenuous, both in the attacks against CPI and Prashad. It ends up being a string of circumstantial evidence, with A leading to B leading to C leading to D. And each link in the chain is tenuous at best.
There's also accusations of first-campism
As far as I've seen, it's always just comfortable liberals making this really generic and unfalsifiable accusation. Not that I'm critiquing the commentor above.

Yeah, that's what I pretty much surmised and thus never paid much attention to these accusations.
