International Conference on 24th November in Hamburg: the speech by the Communist Party of Philippines


Message of solidarity to the International Conference in Support of People´s War in India

Dear Comrades,
The Communist Party of the Philippines and the Filipino people convey revolutionary greetings to the participants of the International Conference in Support of People´s War in India. We commend the International Committee of Support to People´s War in India (CSGP India) for organizing this Conference in Germany. We are heartened by the attendance of so many militant and revolutionary organizations, and the expressions of solidarity from many other revolutionary groups who are not able to attend.
India is a country endowed with rich natural resources, but it is a living hell for the people of India, espescially the workers, peasants, the dalits and adivasis, who together comprise more than 90 percent of the population. The wealth of the richest families is about a third of the country´s GDP, while close to 80% of the population have to survive on less than 50 euro cents per day. Almost two million children die of starvation and malnutrition each year.
Touted as the largest democracy in the world, India´s ruling classes still maintain the highly oppressive caste system. The overwhelming majority of the population suffer from severe exploitation, poverty, neglect and total absence of political power. Minority populations are regular targets of national discrimination and oppression. Millions of families are forcefully dispossessed of the land where they live and earn their living. Meanwhile, the local ruling classes and foreign monopoly capitalists plunder the country´s natural resources and reap huge profits from workers receiving slave wages.
But the Indian people are fighting back, they are waging a new democratic revolution. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), the ongoing People´s War is building thousands of people´s organizations and Revolutionary People´s Committees in the countryside. In the cities, mass organizations led by the CPI (Maoist) launch massive mass protest actions, shaking the foundations of the reactionary state power.
The Filipino people led by the Communist Party of the Philippines reiterate their warmest support to the people of India led by the Communist Party of India (Maoist) in their continuing struggle for national and social liberation. We join the rest of the world in saluting the victories of the People´s War in India, and look forward to the total victory of the new democratic revolution and the socialist future in India and the rest of South Asia.
