Report of the International Committee to Support People’s War in India
In India a
tumultuous people’s war develops against imperialism, bureaucratic capitalism,
the comprador bourgeoisie and feudalism.
The
people’s war started in the areas where the roots of the revolt against
poverty, capitalist and tribal exploitation are deeper, and where the
contradictions produced by the development made of looting of resources, caste
oppression and exploitation by a capitalism tied and subservient to imperialism
are sharper.
This
people's war continues the epic story of the extraordinary peasant armed
uprising in Naxalbari. With the unification of Maoists, heirs of Naxalbari, in
the formation of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), the PW found a new
level of guide, leadership and program.
The
10 years since from this formation showed the strength of armed masses led by a
Maoist communist party; thanks to the leadership of this party, the People's
War has spread across the country and has built its bases in about a third of
it. Thus, the PW has become the main internal threat to the Indian regime and
imperialism in a crucial region of the world. This PW that has spread his
message and his strength among the oppressed masses of the world.
This
is the ground of the birth of the International Committee, the development of
the support to the PW that was extended to many countries, through both unified
campaigns and other independent initiatives. This reached a milestone with 1st
International Conference in Hamburg,
organized by the Committee and the League Against the Imperialist Aggression
(BGIA).
Especially
after that Conference, the movement of support to the PW and the ICSPWI have
also become a danger for the Indian regime and imperialism. They are taking
steps to urge other governments to stop this solidarity and support and to hit
those who turn them into an organized form of a potential powerful movement that
is developing step by step.
The
Indian regime unleashed the most fierce repression against struggling people.
The massive Operation Green Hunt is a veritable manhunt in which the poor
people who rebel in India
are treated as animals to be exterminated. It is a multi-pronged countrywide
offensive launched the Indian regime against its own people, using extensively
super armed troops, now even drones, police and paramilitary forces, which sow
terror and genocide in the villages, with raids, deportations, mass killings
and rapes.
The
target of this repression is the CPI (Maoist), its cadres, leaders, members,
sympathizers, not only in the areas of struggle but also within cities, in the
universities and among all classes and social sectors which support or
sympathize with the PW, the Maoist rebellion, the armed uprising of the masses.
In
order to conduct this Operation, the Indian regime had to gradually drop the
mask of “the largest democracy in the world” and put the command in the hands
of a new Hindu fascist regime, the Modi’s new regime. The revolution always engenders
a powerful counter-revolution, that today strikes indiscriminately seeking to
wipe out any political opposition in India.
In
the past week, the Modi’s regime unleashed the repression not only against the
PW, the People's Army, but also against the Forum for a Alternative Politics.
As Com. Varavara Rao said: “the Modi government is planning to launch a
full-scale war against Maoist rebels and the people led by them … building a
war-hysteria against Maoist rebels … at the behest of some big corporate bodies
who want to control and plunder our resources.”
But
more repression, more oppression, only feed the movement of rebellion and the
opposition itself. Hitting the Forum, the government shows its strategic and
class weakness, in front of those who say “The people are with us. They will
definitely welcome our initiative as we are promoting self-rule and more powers
to landless and oppressed sections of society.”
The
International Committee of Support to the PW in India expresses the strongest solidarity
with Com. Varavara Rao and the participants in the Forum for an Alternative
Politics, it demands their immediate release and calls to all revolutionary,
anti-imperialist and progressive forces in the world to develop initiatives for
a political mobilization.
The
repression can not stop the great celebrations of the 10th
anniversary, because it can not stop the advance of the people and their vanguard.
We
want quote here the answer of Arundhati Roy to a reporter who asked her what is
difference between the Maoists and the people, referring to the areas in which
the people's war and the mass movement led by Maoists develop. Arundhati
replied: "None. Maoists and people are the same thing. "
The
development of the support to the PW has to bring to the masses not only the
strength of the armed initiatives of People's Army but also the nature of
people’s movements led by the party, and involved in and inspired by the PW, as
well as what the People’s Revolutionary Committees achieve in areas where the PW
formed them.
The armed struggle develops in the forests, in the countryside, as armed
resistance to the raids to destroy villages and deport the villagers. Without
this resistance, villages and villagers would be wiped out, in a contention in
which the development of capitalism is asserted and the right to exist of
people is denied.
As
we wrote in the founding call of ICSPWI: “Indian masses led by the CPI (M) are
writing a historic page in the current clash of classes in the world. We have to
help to make clear for the world proletariat that the advancement of the PW in India put into question the balance of power not
only in South Asia but in the whole structure
of the world imperialist system.
The
International Committee develops as a centre of action and propaganda in which,
step by step, those who want to support the PW can take part both in a unitary
and unified or a coordinated way. The increasing extension of the campaigns in
about 60 countries shows the international role of the Committee. International
Campaigns and Days of Actions have the purpose to give everyone a chance to
participate and join the support.
The
imperialist system is not able to get out of its worst crisis since the 30s.
All attempts to deal with and overcome the crisis fail, because the crisis
itself originates form the very functioning of the imperialist system today. On
the world scene, even in the crisis we witness a widening gap between the
wealth of a handful of imperialist countries and the poverty of three-quarters
of humanity in the countries oppressed by imperialism, the wealth in the hands
of the bourgeoisie and the absolute and relative impoverishment of the
proletariat and the masses in the imperialist countries. And, in countries as India,
the overflowing richness of a parasitic comprador bureaucratic bourgeoisie and
the conditions of misery and hunger in which the masses live.
For
this reason, the PW is well inside the response of the peoples to this
situation and the crisis of the system; and it is this that the PW is the objective
and subjective spearhead of the struggle of the oppressed masses in the world.
Therefore, the support is not mere solidarity but participation in this global
war against imperialism.
The
10th anniversary shows that where the guide of the people’s
rebellion is a communist party, the rebellion of the masses is not prey and
pawn of inter-imperialistic contention, it is not in the hands of the feudal
reactionary forces who ride the rebellion to channel it in the plans of ruling
classes or even to push back the wheel of history. Therefore, the support for the
PW is also a way to help to assert this trend everywhere the rebellion of the
people goes on.
We
can properly understand the importance of the PW and the reasons to support it
if we see it in the context of the international situation.
In
the analysis of the world today, on the one hand, the inter-imperialist
contradictions that can lead to a third world war, become sharper, on the other
hand the factors of the revolution are nourished and the principal
contradiction in the world today emerges clearly. The PW in India becomes objectively an
indispensable point of reference to be placed inside the main contradiction and
the main trend in the world today.
The
Committee to support the PW will not reduce its action to the exposure of the
Indian regime, although it is also an essential and crucial part of its
activities, but it works to rise the awareness and recognition of the ground of
class and anti-imperialist unity existing between India and the countries in which
the Committee operates.
In
India, the government has decided to sell the natural and human resources of
the country to the western imperialist multinationals, to new monopolies of the
masters of automotive and steel plants, such as Tata, Essar, Jindal, Mittal.
From the fierce exploitation of workers, often women and children, they draw
the profits that allow them to become buyers and shareholders of the big
international monopolies in the respective sector, in alliance with the owners
in the imperialist countries.
On
this base, the unity among the workers in the imperialist countries and the
workers and oppressed masses in India
can and must be developed.
Through
actions, information, the Committee has an important role to play.
The
war on people in the heart of India
and the rise of the Fascist Hindu regime fills the country of rapes. Rapes on
women guerrillas, women of the people, in the war; as well as serial rapes in
the false modernized big cities, in the universities, etc.
The
struggle of women in India
and the participation of women in the PW make their movement in India an
inspiration for women in all countries in the world. And the ICSPWI will help
to gather more and more the powerful forces of this movement.
The
PW in India
is bound to change the face of the second most populous country in the world,
to embody the spirit of changing that inspires the rebel youth in many
countries around the world, including the imperialist citadels. To spread the
achievements, the lessons, the nature of the conflict in India, between
state repression and armed rebellion of people, is a source and a stimulus to
give an actually revolutionary orientation to rebellion of youth.
In
this sense the line, the practice of ICSPWI is much more than an organization of
solidarity. It is a weapon and an added value for all communist, revolutionary,
anti-imperialist forces in the world.
This
is the base of unity, reached in full autonomy, with the PW in India, with the
CPI (Maoist), of which we celebrate the 10th anniversary.
This
meeting is a step on this path, that can not be stopped and we all together
have to move forward serving the liberation of the proletariat and peoples.
It
is important to assert this while in India, every day, our martyrs, the
best sons and daughters of people, our comrades, fall down. But from the heart
of that country, however, the voice of their message resounds in the voice and message
of the CPI (Maoist): “Finally, before we conclude, we wish to speak about the
great efforts you are doing in support of the people’s war in India. The news
of your campaigns, its vivid images, are being taken to our ranks, PLGA
combatants and revolutionary masses as widely as possible through our open and
secret magazines and several other means. When they know that their sisters and
brothers in far off lands stand up in militant solidarity with them, when they
see images of protests before Indian embassies, of wall writings taking the
message of their revolution to masses in those countries, their hearts swell with
pride — we are not alone, our people are there, we are everywhere. Your acts
have inspired us; they have made us more determined. We will strive our utmost
to fulfil the confidence you have reposed in us.”
And
we can say from this meeting that our action will be at the height of that
message!
Death

With the Modi Fascist Hindu Regime !
