After the initiatives against Operation Kagar and solidarity and support for the people's war in India carried out in recent months (we recall the very important initiatives in Brussels on 27 January, and on 28 March in Zurich this year which had international resonance), according to the national and international commitments undertaken in the meetings held in Italy, the Committee to support the people's war in India is preparing for other initiatives that will be carried out during the next summer.
Regarding the large international participation in the initiatives, we reiterate what the Committee wrote in its communiqué published after the Zurich demonstration: "The International Committee for the Support of the People's War in India (ICSPWI) appreciates all the forces that have taken to the streets and considers them as a whole a great basis for continuing this battle and a great source of encouragement for the revolutionary and democratic forces, and for the Communist Party of India (Maoist) who are fighting bravely in India in these difficult hours to safeguard the Party, the People's Army and the path and practice of people's war".
Today, the pressing need for the continuation of the mobilizations is also due to the fact that the fascist Hindutva government of Narendra Modi, in particular with the active participation of its Minister of the Interior Amit Shah, continues to carry out repression throughout the country, a real war against the people, always far from the international spotlight that purposely ignores what is happening in the Indian subcontinent.
As the Indian comrades recount through their communiqués, in order to achieve their objectives "the armed forces are unleashing the reign of terror on the Adivasis, from rape and killings to aerial bombardment and burning of entire villages ... The leaders and cadres of the CPI (Maoist), who are on the side of the people in the struggle for their rights, are systematically murdered. We have seen how a massive extension of forests in central India was handed over to the multinationals immediately after the killing of the General Secretary Comrade Basavaraj. In this climate, revolutionary mass political organizations resist like a fortress against the fascist agenda." (RSF)
In fact, these attacks are daily: bombings, use of drones, deployment of thousands of policemen, soldiers, special death squads such as CoBra, with extrajudicial assassinations that mainly target not only those who lead the struggles but also those who sympathize with these struggles and denounce the repressive activity of the Hindutva fascist government, and who for this reason become the object of particular attention: from students, to university professors, to poets, writers and intellectuals subjected in these days to searches in almost the entire country and in general all accused of being "Maoists" or "urban Maoists", intellectuals accused and arrested and made to die in prison because they "think", as the Indian State Prosecutor said before the Supreme Court in relation to Dr. G.N. Saibaba, who had a disability of 94%. "The brain is more dangerous than the body"! he said.
These incessant attacks are directed against the workers and the Indian masses in general, attacks on their fundamental rights: the right to wages, work and safety at work, housing, the right to land and a decent life, the right of women not to be raped, attacks on freedom of expression, freedom of demonstration, religious freedom, through forced expulsions from the forests to make room for industrial and mining multinationals inside and outside the country that are mainly in the hands of capitalists friends of Modi, namely the billionaires Adani, Ambani, Agarwal, Tata, Jindal... always at the service, therefore, of the Indian ruling classes and imperialism, not only that of the USA, but also that of Russia, China and all the others.
The Indian government is highly appreciated by these imperialist countries because it provides them with an immense amount of cheap labour, made even more precarious by the reform of labour codes, both inside the country and outside the country by emigration. All this feeds misery (remember that the government is forced to give 5 kilos of rice a month to about 800 million poor people!) and unemployment of millions of young people, and it is against those who oppose this growing misery that the government unleashes its atrocities, while spending billions on the arms race.
A situation that the comrades who fight against the government and who lead the ongoing people's war, the comrades of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) and other struggle organizations, describe as very difficult, which also sees a fierce struggle going on against those who would like to liquidate not only the Party but the whole experience of the people's war, in short, a situation that has worsened with Operation Kagaar: a ferocious operation, an unrelenting fight, because the government wants to put an end to the ongoing people's war.
The deadline that the Modi government and its gang of assassins, that of March 31, however, failed to meet, due to the resistance put in place by the people's war, and the mobilization of many organizations of struggle within the country; This date, on the contrary, has become a challenge and mobilizations around the world have transformed it into a message of liberation and revolution.
In fact, for the proletariat the struggle of the Indian people is of international importance and the New Democratic Revolution in India represents one of the most important fronts of the world anti-imperialist struggle. Its defeat or victory will have a direct impact on the balance of forces between imperialism and the proletarian revolution, the struggle of the peoples on a world level.
But in recent months the genocidal Indian government, which boasts of becoming part of the three main world economies in the coming years, has not limited itself to unleashing even more repression against its own people, increasingly resorting to prison and the number of political prisoners who suffer torture, it has also worked hard to strengthen its military apparatus at all levels and strengthen the international consensus around its Operation Kagaar.
In this framework of pressing search for alliances "in today's uncertain world", as Modi repeated several times in his speech to the Knesset, to the Israeli parliament on February 25, an "uncertainty" due to the tendency to world war for a new division of the world, "visits" to various countries have begun, starting, precisely, with Nazi-Zionist Israel, accused by the UN once again of genocide of the children of Gaza, spending honeyed words to make even stronger military and commercial agreements and confirming the close ideological link between Zionism and Hindutva fascism.
Modi then moved from the Italy of the fascist Meloni in May, and in both cases, elevating bilateral relations through the Special Strategic Partnership, he made even stronger agreements from a political point of view, from a commercial point of view with the IMEC corridor and military for the strengthening of the war apparatus.
It is for all this that, as was said in the speech in the square at the end of the demonstration in Zurich, the tasks of the International Support Committee, the supporters of the people's war in India and the Communist Party of India (Maoist), are to continue the denunciation and all-out mobilization within the "International Emergency Campaign" against Operation Kagaar.
In the months of July, August and September, therefore, other initiatives are planned in Italy, such as a demonstration at the Indian embassy and an assembly in Rome against repression and for the release of political prisoners, an information campaign and organization of Indian workers and an anti-imperialist mobilization against the IMEC project, with particular regard to relations between India and the Italy of the fascist Meloni, and relations between India and Israel, both also complicit in the genocide in Palestine.
