The
International Committee to Support the People's War in India (ICSPWI)
is an international organization that advocates for the Naxalite-Maoist
insurgency in India, supporting what they define as a "New Democratic
Revolution" against the Indian state.Key Aspects of ICSPWI and Resistance in India:
- Support for CPI (Maoist): The ICSPWI acts as a recognized international forum for the Communist Party of India (Maoist), which is currently involved in a protracted armed struggle, particularly in the forested regions of Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.
- Opposition to "Operation Kagar": A primary focus of the ICSPWI is opposing "Operation Kagar," a major counter-insurgency initiative launched by the Indian government in January 2024. The committee alleges this operation uses 60,000 paramilitary forces for "repression and killings" of Adivasi (indigenous) people to clear land for mining corporations.
- International Protests: The ICSPWI has organized protests in Europe ) at Indian embassies and the European Parliament, urging international condemnation of the Indian government's actions.
- Defense of Activists: The group campaigns for the release of political prisoners
- Ideological Goal: They promote the ideology of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (MLM) and support the "People's War" as a mechanism to counter what they describe as "fascist" and imperialist-backed policies in India.
- Focus on Exploitation: The resistance supported by the ICSPWI argues that the government is displacing tribal communities for resource extraction.
In
late 2024, the ICSPWI reported that their primary internationalist blog
was censored, but they continue to operate and call for solidarity
against the ongoing state actions in India.
