1 - towards a new plan for supporting people's war in India ICSPWI - PCI(Maoist) Documents



Present situation – Our tasks
[excerpts from]

1.
Increasing favorable conditions for revolution due to the intensification of fundamental contradictions Nationally and Internationally

International situation

The fundamental contradictions in the international level – the contradiction between Imperialism and oppressed nationalities and people; contradiction between bourgeois class and proletarian class in imperialist / capitalist countries; contradiction between the imperialists are intensifying day by day. As a result certain important changes and trends are coming forth in the international level.
They are –
1. As a part of the continuing general crisis of capitalism in the form of stagflation since 1970s, America is gradually weakening economically. It weakened much more since the home loan crisis of 2008. Now there is more competition to America from Russia and China in the political and military fields.
2. Increasing protectionism in the economic field and racism and fascism in the political field in the imperialist and capitalist countries.
3. Increasing competition among the imperialist countries to loot the resources and markets of the backward countries.
4. American imperialism that was the super power until now is trying to consolidate its position. Russian imperialism is trying to maintain the areas of its influence. China developed into an imperialist country and is making serious attempts for the re-division of the world. So there is a rise in contradictions with American super power. Following the increasing competition between America and China for redivision of the world there is a world wide change in geo-political realignment.

Domestic situation

All the Brahmanic Hindu fascist policies of the Central government in the leadership of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the past two and a half years aimed to implement the interests of the imperialist, feudal classes. With the pro-imperialist anti-nation policies of Narendra Modi government there are increasing attacks of the international financial capital on all the sections in the country.
The Brahmanic Hindu fascist policies of the Central Government in the leadership of Narendra Modi are against the oppressed masses, oppressed nationalities, oppressed social communities of our country. So a situation has come in which workers, peasants, petty bourgeoisie, National bourgeoisie, oppressed nationalities, religious minorities, Dalits, Adivasis, Women everyone has to fight against Brahmanic Hindu fascism. The situation in which Brahmanic Hindu fascism stands as a common enemy to the oppressed classes, nationalities and oppressed social communities is a new change in the political developments of our country. In the coming days, revolutionary forces, Dalits, Muslims, Adivasis and other advanced sections would become more consolidated and be ready for militant struggles against Brahmanic Hindu fascism.
With the attempts of the Central and the State governments for the loot of the natural resources in the Adivasi areas of the country, unleashing the interests of the domestic and foreign corporate organisations in an aggressive manner, the Adivasi communities are facing severe problem of displacement and are losing their survival and identity. Tribal and non-tribal masses are taking up militant struggles on the problem of displacement. The anti displacement problems of the tribal and the non-tribal people would go in the direction of more consolidation and a militant fight in the coming days.
The students from Dalit, Tribal and Religious minority from hundreds of Universities and thousands of Colleges across the country came together to fight against the Hindu fascist attacks and the imperialist feudal policies of Narendra Modi. Possibilities are on the rise for the consolidation of advanced forces as a potential force in the anti-imperialist, anti-feudal class struggle in future.
Since Modi came to power in the centre, he is absolutely selling off the country to imperialist capital. Aiming the weapons of Nationalism, Patriotism and Sedition the Hindutva gangs are making indiscriminate attacks on the Civil and Democratic rights of the people. Democrats and genuine patriotic forces are fighting against these attacks.
Peasants across the country are fighting against the anti farmer policies of the Central and the State governments in various forms. Due to the ill effects of the pro imperialist, anti farmer policies, agricultural crisis intensified and even ‘higher’ castes like the Jhats, Patels, Marathas and Kapus too have to fight.
The central government amended the Labour laws in the interests of Multi National Companies and Big Corporate organisations of the country and against the interests of the workers. More than fifteen crores of workers went on a successful general strike in the leadership of leftist Trade Unions last September against the anti worker policies. In 2015 too nearly fourteen crores of workers went on a general strike. Ten lakhs of employees of Public sector banks conducted Bandh on 28th February this year against amendments in labor laws, outsourcing and other such anti people policies of the government. The workers’ strikes would surge in future. The policies of Modi government are not only anti labor but they also bankrupt small and medium industries. So the small and medium capitalists too would take up struggles in different forms in the coming days.
In the guise of eliminating corruption, big notes were cancelled and the properties of all the people were accumulated in the banks. So peasantry, small traders and small capitalists were at a loss. People were not allowed to utilize their surplus and thrift independently. The accumulation of the people’s properties in the banks helps the imperialist, comprador capitalists. The attempts for cash less economy would increase the attack of International Monetary Capital and the comprador bureaucratic capital on all the sections including the middle class in the coming days.
The Modi government might bring more fascist laws to hit the intensifying social unrest in the country due to the intensifying contradictions. It might also form Hindu fascist gangs with various names and increase unlawful, fascist attacks on the people.

Revolutionary Movement in India sustains retaliating the Counter revolutionary offensive of the Central and the State governments – The Governments indulge in more fascist attacks to eliminate the movement



Due to the offensive of the third phase of the counter revolutionary Operation Green Hunt of the enemy all over the country last year, there are some more unfavorable aspects in our movement in all the States/ Special Zones/Special Areas. The local leadership was arrested or martyred in all the areas of movement and thus the local organisation became weak. Many members starting from Area Committees to the Central Committee were arrested or were martyred. Recruitment decreased. The local organisations and the Janathana Sarkars in Dandakaranya became weak. Some areas became weak. The losses to the enemy during retaliation became relatively less. Carpet security spread in Dandakaranya, BiharJharkhand, AOB and Orissa. Due to these reasons there are serious problems in our mass work and retaliation in all the areas of our movement. All this led to a difficult condition in the countrywide movement.
The increase of unfavorable aspects in our Revolutionary movement due to the third phase offensive of the counter revolutionary Operation Green Hunt of the Central and the State governments is one thing. However, due to our political, military and organizational efforts, the People’s War and the People’s Struggles in retaliation to the third phase offensive of Operation Green Hunt, there are some more favorable factors to overcome the difficult situation.
In 2016 alone PLGA took up 317 Guerilla actions in the various Guerilla Zones and Red Retaliation areas (154 on the armed forces of the enemy, 115 on the people’s enemies, 48 on the corporate organisations). Among the actions on the armed forces of the enemy six were big actions, 19 were medium and 292 small actions. On the whole we eliminated 114 Paramilitary forces and police and injured 230 in these actions. Most of the guerilla war operations took place in Dandakaranya, Bihar, Jharkhand, East Bihar-North East Jharkhand and AOB. There were a few actions in the other places too.
Mining and many Projects came to a stop, due to the resistance of the masses and PLGA under the leadership of our Party. PLGA, People’s Militia and the people together did 50 actions regarding this issue and destroyed crores of properties of the Multi National and Domestic Corporate organisations. These actions showed the correct path for the anti displacement struggles across the country. They gave us good experiences in conducting anti imperialist, anti comprador bureaucratic bourgeois struggles.
Our achievements in this period:
1. There were small, medium and big tactical counter offensives in which police, Para-military and various Commando forces were given blows to an extent and their aggressiveness controlled. We organized the masses and the People’s Militia into various economic and political struggles and in the resistance struggles against state violence. Thus we could secure our Revolutionary Movement in difficult conditions with the united efforts of the Party Committees, PLGA, United Front forums. There were efforts to fight back the psychological war of the enemy through revolutionary propaganda.
2. We successfully took up Bolshevisation, Field Training campaigns to advance the revolutionary movement by relatively strengthening Party, PLGA, various levels of RPCs and Revolutionary Mass Organisations. In these campaigns the subjective forces, cadres, Red Commanders and fighters of the Party, PLGA and UF bolshevized to an extent in some areas.
3. The leadership of the Party took up social investigation with the aim to develop the tactics of People’s War according to the changed social conditions. Political-Military training camps were conducted as a part of strengthening the Party leadership in PLGA. We thus gained experience to take up Guerilla War in a difficult condition.
4. Plenums were conducted from the State level to the Area level with the objective to advance People’s War and proper syntheses made. There were proper assessments on the conditions and accordingly tasks were formulated. Few new comrades took up responsibilities in the higher committees starting from the area level to the state level.
5. In the third phase of Operation Green Hunt the exploitive classes are indulging in many conspiracies to revive their power in the Guerilla Bases (the areas where the power of exploitive classes was overthrown and RPCs of various levels were established as the organs of People’s State power) where class war is going on in a serious scale. We fought back this offensive and protected and reconstituted RPCs of various levels. However small the area may be, in places where the people are ready to seize power RPCs were formed and were made to function. In the leadership of RPCs the living standard of the people was enhanced on the ome areas land leveling campaign was successfully done in the leadership of RPCs. In some areas a considerable number of new forces were recruited into the Revolutionary movement and PLGA.
6. In the Red Retaliation areas, Guerilla Zones and Guerilla Bases thousands of masses took up struggles for Jal-Jungle-Zameen-IjjathAdhikar, on economic problems, against state violence, against Operation Green Hunt, against the problem of displacement and against Hindu fascism.
Though there is severe repression in the third phase of Operation Green Hunt, the People’s War is fighting it back among severe losses. It is facing the exploitive ruling classes in the social, economic, political, military and propaganda sectors and sustaining.
We failed the attempts of the Central and the State governments that aimed to defeat the revolutionary movement in the country by eliminating the revolutionary movements of Dandakaranya and Bihar-Jharkhand through Mission 2016, with our political, military and organizational effort.
In this situation the Central and the State governments are consolidating their achievements in their counter revolutionary offensive last year and formulated another ill scheme in the guidance of the imperialists to eliminate the Indian Revolutionary movement in the coming two to two and a half years (by the time of Parliament elections in the end of 2018 or in the beginning of 2019).

Let us fight back the multipronged offensive of the enemy with multipronged counter offensive – Let us overcome the difficult situation

Due to the intensification of the major contradictions in the country and internationally the imperialists and their compradors in the respective countries are intensifying fascist offensive on the worldwide revolutionary movement, democratic struggles and national liberation struggles. The exploitive classes in our country and worldwide would instigate communalism, racist chauvinism, national chauvinism and war frenzy and are trying to divert the masses from the path of revolution. The Corporate media in the world is already contaminating the brains of the people with these ideas. On the other hand imperialist sponsored NGOs continue their activities to give a blow to the militancy and spirit of struggle of the masses.
Post Modernism is continuing theoretical attack to see that the oppressed classes do not unite on class basis. Parliamentarism, Revisionism, the Neo Revisionism of Prachanda-Avakian and Gandhism in our country too try to the extent possible to divert the masses from the path of revolution.
In order to formulate multipronged tactical plan to defeat the enemy offensive we have to keep in mind the favorable and unfavorable factors in the political conditions. It means that if the oppressed masses and oppressed nationalities are affected with the Nationalist frenzy, war frenzy, racist chauvinism and communalism, revolutions would fail. And if Post Modernism, the way of legal struggle of the NGOs are not exposed and defeated among the masses, we cannot mobilise the broad masses widely.
So we have to expose racist chauvinism, war frenzy and communalism in our multipronged counter offensive tactics. We must explain the difference between genuine patriotism and the racist, nationalist ‘patriotism’ helping the interests of the exploitive classes. We must expose the Post modernist and NGO’s theories. Parliamentarism, revisionism, neo revisionism and Gandhism should be exposed relentlessly.
The program and the general objective of the tactics must be to overcome the difficult situation and develop the movement. As per this we have to revive the areas of setback, to build Red Retaliation areas in the newly expanded areas, develop the red retaliation areas into Guerilla Zones, protect the Revolutionary People’s Committees/organs of People’s state power in the main Guerilla Zones and protect/strengthen the guerilla bases.

Theoretical and political tasks – tactics

1. The leadership cadres must once again study the writings of Lenin, ‘Imperialism, the Highest stage of Capitalism’, ‘War and Peace’ and the program of the Third International to fight back fascism before the Second World War. Depending on these we have to constantly expose the instigation of Nationalism and war frenzy by the present Indian ruling classes against Pakistan and China. We have to expose the fake patriotism the exploitive ruling classes and the Sangh Parivar instigate.
2. We have to take up widespread and intense ideological, political struggle against the Brahmanic Hindu fascism that is aggressively selling off the country to imperialism and on the other to stabilize the exploitation and oppression of the Comprador Bureaucratic Bourgeois and Big landlord classes.
3. We have to expose Post Modernism and the argument for legal fight, reformism and economism of the NGOs and enhance the consciousness to seize people’s state power.
4. We have to complete Social investigation in all the States/Special Areas/Special Zones and study the forms of exploitation in the agricultural, industrial and service sectors by the International Financial Capital, Comprador Bureaucratic Capital and Feudalism together. We have to mobilise the broad masses against this in the class struggle. For this purpose we have to form legal, cover and UF forums to mobilise the vast masses in class struggle. We have to consolidate class organisations in all the Guerilla Zones and concentrate on intensification of class struggle starting from the local level. There is an increase in unorganized workers and employees with the name of contract, casual (workers on daily wage basis) in our country. Along with them migrant workers too increased. They too are unorganized workers. We must mobilise these unorganized workers and take up struggles. In places where we already mobilized, unorganized workers consolidation is important.
5. We have to mobilise the Dalits, Adivasis, Religious minorities and Democratic forces against Brahmanic Hindu fascism and form UF forums in various levels and forms.
6. We have to mobilise students and masses against the privatization of education from primary schools to Universities, against the establishment of foreign Universities in our country, against the commercialization of education and against privatization and saffronisation of education.
7. We have to develop the anti displacement movements into anti imperialist, anti CBB militant movements. We have to mobilise the peasantry severely dissatisfied with the agrarian crisis and spread the anti imperialist, anti feudal class struggle.
8. We have to mobilise democratic forces from the local level to the central level against the war of the exploitive classes on the masses of the country in the name of OGH and form UF forums. We must activate the present forums.
9. We have to extend the class struggle to the broad plain areas adjacento the present areas of movement.
10. We have to make a deep study of the reasons for the weakening of the urban movement and build the urban movement in new methods. For this we have to mobilise new forces and train them.
11. We have to enhance the theoretical, political level of the party cadres so that they overcome the difficult situation. We have to take up LTP and Field training programs in all the levels.
12. We have to constantly expose the deceiving war and psychological war of the enemy and fight and defeat the same.

Military, Organizational tasks – Tactics

1. The Party and the Military cadres must study our experiences in implementing the Maoist People’s War in the period after the formation of the United Party-Maoist Party. We must educate our forces about the tactics to make Guerilla War basing on the strength of the movement, formations and terrain of the respective areas.
2. We have to continue guerilla war in the coming time with the aim to overcome the difficult situation depending on the positive factors of making guerilla war in the country with local and limited resources since the countrywide movement entered a difficult stage. We have to synthesize the war operations and experiences in the Carpet security areas in the past three to four years and intensify and develop guerilla war in those areas.
3. We have to take up training of the military and political leadership forces. We have to train our PLGA so that it fights back the tactics of LIC and Counter Guerilla Warfare. We have to develop tactical skill and various kinds of skills. Commands of all levels must be made to function and be consolidated.
4. We have to protect the local leadership from the enemy offensive. The State/Special Zonal/Special Area Committees must adopt the necessary methods.
5. We must give a clear understanding on the methods of Mass Work and Guerilla War in Carpet Security areas to the Mass Work units and Combat units. Thus we must see that they do not face any loss.
6. We have to adopt methods of work and organisation to protect the leadership forces starting from the Area Committee to the Central Committee from the enemy attacks.
7. We must again strengthen the areas that were affected by losses. The State Committees must adopt the organization and methods of work of the units of mass work and military work depending on the strength of the movement in the respective areas.
8. The State Committees must have the initiative to guide the movement in their states in view of the problems arising in the conditions of carpet security and coordination all over the areas of movement. The Committees are unable to conduct regular meetings like before. So the Sub-Zonal bureaus in in all the areas and Sub-Divisional bureaus need to guide the movement with initiative and in an independent manner. The principles of Guerilla war must be applied according to the specificities of their area and the forces centralized and decentralized. The mass work and military work units must be taken up with coordination. The method of work must change so that they can make decisions with an initiative according to the changing conditions.
9. We have to make changes in camping, marching, patrolling and observation to avoid losses. We have to regularly practice drills to fight back the attacks on the camps. We have to arrange active self-protection mechanism round the camp.
10. We have to take up retaliatory actions to achieve results in seizing Arms and Ammunition and in eliminating the enemy. For this we have to keep a vigil on the weaknesses of the enemy through constant people’s intelligence. We have to better the planning and in motivating the forces. The participation of leadership forces in the war operations must increase and bettered. The leadership forces, cadres and all the PLGA members must fight united and with courage and dare. We must make necessary changes in the Fire and Movement, advance and retreat to gain results in the seizure of Arms and Ammunition in the retaliatory actions. Thus we must develop our tactics. We must develop skill in working with all kinds of weapons.
11. We have to adopt necessary methods of attack to stop carpet security, to fail and destroy it.
12. Through the process of consolidation-expansion we have to develop the areas in between CRB and ERB as a broad guerilla zone. The success in this task would provide a basis to overcome the difficult situation and for the advancement of Indian Revolution.
13. The Party cadres working in the Party, People’s Army and UF must achieve command in the Maoist style of work.


The counter revolutionary enemy offensive brought forth important challenge to us. Can we overcome the difficult situation or not? On the other hand the domestic and international political situation brought utmost serious challenge to the worldwide Imperialists, their Compradors, the Comprador Bureaucratic Capitalists and Big Landlords too. How to bear with the daily intensifying economic and political crises? How to face the upcoming worldwide spate of revolutions? The severe unfavorable conditions of the exploitive ruling classes are the favorable factors for us. Depending on these favorable factors we have to adopt proper tactics and make political, military and organizational efforts. Then we can certainly overcome the present difficult situation and also advance the Indian Revolutionary movement. The broad peasantry is severely dissatisfied with the inability to depend on agriculture and the lack of works in the towns. The students and youth are suffocated with the imperialist and feudal oppression and suppression. The Adivasis are losing their survival and identity with the problem of displacement. The workers and employees are facing insecurity with the imperialist globalization policies. Let us make efforts to mobilize and consolidate all of them in class struggle. Let us start work with limited forces and prepare unlimited forces. Let us mobilise new generation into revolution. Let us develop the broad areas into red retaliation areas and guerilla zones. Let us, in this process enhance a broad, organized, militant mass base, consolidate the PlGA and intensify People’s War. Thus let us defeat the enemy offensive and overcome the difficult situation.
Let us consolidate much more, the favorable factors as a result of the effort to overcome the difficult situation for the past three years. These favorable factors would be a strong basis to overcome the difficult situation. Let us face the unfavorable factors with courage and overcome them. Let us rectify the alien class trends in us. Let us apply MLM theoretical principles and the principles of Maoist People’s War according to the strength of the movement. Let us change our political and military tactics according to the changing conditions. Let us work with a collective feeling as teams in all levels in this effort. Let us develop tactics to mobilise and consolidate the new generation of the broad masses. Let us gain control on the Maoist style of work.
There were many difficult times and defeats in the history of the Communist movement of the World and that of our country. We have overcome all those. When the fascist gangs of Hitler encircled Leningrad during the Second World War, when they took up protracted Long March after losing the liberated areas in the South of China, after the defeat of Naxalbari and Srikakulam struggles we faced utmost severe unfavorable conditions. We overcame them with proper tactics, unique courage and dare, with a strong will and proper style of work. Let us fight Operation Green Hunt and overcome the difficult situation basing on these experiences.
