As long as exploitation, oppression, and injustice exist, the rebellion of the people and the just war—the People's War—will continue!
No military campaign of the exploiter class, including 'Kagar', can extinguish the invincible People's War of the exploited!
Struggling Masses,
Since 2024, the Hindutva fascist Modi government of India has launched an all-out war titled "Operation Kagar" with the aim of uprooting the Maoist movement. Numerous revolutionaries, including Comrade Basavaraj, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), have been murdered in cold blood under the guise of fake encounters. While nearly 700 citizens have fallen victim to these killings, India's so-called democratic constitution and "independent" judiciary remain silent! In this unjust war, thousands of farmers and working-class tribal people (Adivasis) have been imprisoned, and countless people have been evicted from their homes and turned into refugees. This war by the exploiter-ruling class against the exploited people of its own country has unmasked not only the Indian state but also the United Nations and all imperialist looter groups, including the US, China, Russia, and the European Union.
Struggling Friends, Revolutionary war is a protracted war. Occupation and re-occupation, attack and retreat, growth and setback, establishing bases and their destruction by enemy attacks—all are parts of a protracted People's War. The historic Long March led by Comrade Mao Zedong teaches us this lesson. Being cornered or facing extreme disaster in one or more battles does not mean losing the entire war. Those who believe that war brings only repeated victories are not actually revolutionaries. Those who are intimidated and confused today by the roars of the people's enemies due to the apparent retreat and military setbacks of the Indian revolutionary movement in the Kagar war—and think the Maoist movement will end—are not revolutionaries, but opportunists.
As Comrade Lenin taught revolutionaries:
"One step forward, two steps back... It happens in the lives of individuals, and it happens in the history of nations and in the development of parties. To entertain even a moment’s doubt about the inevitable and complete victory of the principles of revolutionary Social-Democracy, of proletarian organization, and of Party discipline would be criminal cowardice." (V.I. Lenin, One Step Forward, Two Steps Back)
Struggling Masses,
Operation Kagar is not merely a military suppression campaign. 'Modani' Fascism (Modi and Adani) is continuing Operation Kagar in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, and adjacent Maoist-influenced regions to loot the vast mineral resources and hand over the land to imperialist and domestic corporate companies. This is a desperate attempt to eliminate the dream and struggle of building a new world of Socialism-Communism through imperialist collusion. While military attacks are carried out on one hand, a psychological war campaign is conducted on the other. Calls for surrender and the abandonment of war are being made by utilizing the defeated elements of the two-line struggle within the Maoist party. Consequently, during this time, we must expose and oppose this unjust war with even greater firmness.
Struggling Friends, The history of rebellion in the Indian subcontinent is a history of armed struggle. The anti-British struggle progressed through repeated ups and downs. One hundred years after the defeat of the Sepoy Mutiny in 1857, the British were forced to leave Indian soil. In the interim, through the sacrifices of countless people, including Bhagat Singh and Masterda Surya Sen, mass rebellions forced the British to quit this land.
Although the revolutionary rebellion in Telangana was defeated due to the betrayal of the leadership, the great Naxalbari movement was organized within 20 years. When the Naxalbari movement was temporarily defeated by intense state repression, the Maoist movement spread across India again after another twenty years—from Andhra-Telangana to Bihar-Jharkhand. At the beginning of this century, it created the embryo of a new revolutionary state in Dandakaranya and Bihar-Jharkhand. This took the Indian revolutionary communist movement to new heights, enriching revolutionaries with new experiences and providing lessons for future state-building. Simultaneously, it showed the way toward creative actions for building centers of New Democratic power in different countries. The Janatana Sarkar (People’s Government) in Dandakaranya provided practical proof of how people's power, rather than the power of an army or a party, is practiced.
Even then, the base areas of Dandakaranya-Bihar-Jharkhand could not reach the threshold of seizing nationwide power beyond their historical limitations. At a certain point, they have become temporarily devastated today due to the suppression by the enemy state. But the history of social development reminds us that as long as class inequality exists, class struggle will continue. Inevitably, this class struggle will develop to its highest level and turn into war—into a People's War under the leadership of revolutionaries. The history of India, with its overthrow of oppressive forces through armed resistance, bears witness to this. Therefore, Operation Kagar, or any operation by any other name, cannot suppress the Maoist movement in India. As long as exploitation exists, revolutionary movements and revolutions will exist.
Struggling Friends,
Taking advantage of temporary military disasters, centrists like Mallaraji Reddy or Tippiri Thirupati Devuji, and neo-revisionists like Sonu-Satish, are today questioning the revolutionary path. They are abandoning the revolutionary path of people's liberation and seeking shelter with the enemies of the people. They will inevitably be thrown into the dustbin of history, just as Vinod Mishra and his associates were.
On the other hand, thousands of martyred Maoist comrades, including Comrade Basavaraj, Comrade Hidma, Comrade Renuka, Comrade Chalapathi, and Comrade Analdas, fought to the death against the enemy and became martyrs. They did not surrender their guns to the enemy for a single moment to save their own lives. They were the flag-bearers of the struggle until their last breath, clinging to the revolutionary path of People's War. Many comrades remain steadfast in that central line of the CPI (Maoist).
In world history, all revolutionary movements have developed through many disasters. Whenever the Indian revolutionary movement has been devastated, it has returned with double the strength. Therefore, even if some central leaders of the Indian Maoist party surrender, this movement will not end. The successors of Comrade Basavaraj have spread today. Their revolutionary successors are scattered across the country.
The infallible law of revolutionary movements is that they do not succeed in a straight line, but through development along the zigzag path of success and disaster. Following the disaster of the Naxalbari movement, the Maoist movement across India developed to the next height by learning from its positive review. Likewise, by learning from today’s disaster and the experience of the Dandakaranya base area, the Maoist movement will evolve to an even higher level.
As Comrade Lenin taught:
"Those Communists are doomed who imagine that it is possible to finish such an epoch-making undertaking... without making mistakes, without retreats, without repeated alterations to what is unfinished or wrongly done... But those Communists are not doomed (and in all probability will not perish) who do not allow themselves to be captivated by any illusions, who do not give way to despondency, and who preserve the strength and flexibility of their bodies to 'begin from the beginning' over and over again in approaching an extremely difficult task." (V.I. Lenin, Notes of a Publicist)
Struggling Masses,
Just as this revolutionary movement under Maoist leadership is a movement for the liberation of the exploited and oppressed people, including the workers and peasants of India, its goal is also the liberation of the exploited and oppressed people of the whole world. That is why the enemies of the people and the corporate class of India and the entire world have united to carry out genocide against the Maoist and tribal people through Operation Kagar.
Therefore, it is the responsibility of the exploited and oppressed people of Bangladesh to show solidarity with the exploited and oppressed people of the whole world, including India, against the Maoist and tribal genocide—Operation Kagar. Let us, therefore, immediately raise our voices in protest and build resistance against the Maoist and tribal genocide in India in the name of Operation Kagar!
