Observe the 54th Martyrdom Anniversary of
Comrade Charu Majumdar on July 28th!
“Every Communist must grasp the truth: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” — Comrade Mao Zedong
Struggling Masses,
Comrade Charu Majumdar is one of the premier Marxist-Leninist-Maoist leaders of the subcontinent. The then government and state of India murdered this great revolutionary while in custody on July 28, 1972. During his student days, he joined the peasant organization of that era to integrate himself with the peasantry and carried out revolutionary activities with professional devotion. He played a revolutionary role in various peasant and labor struggles, including the Tebhaga movement. In opposition to the revisionist politics of the CPI and CPI (M), he was firmly inspired by Mao Zedong Thought (now Maoism) and took the first revolutionary steps in theory and practice during the 1960s.
Comrade Charu Majumdar's historical Historic Eight Documents served as the foundation for the Naxalbari peasant struggle, giving birth to the revolutionary struggle and the Party in India. Inspired by the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, under the direction and leadership of Comrade Charu Majumdar, a revolutionary struggle erupted in Naxalbari in 1967 like a "Thunderclap of Spring." Through this, a successful line of agrarian revolution was initiated. Through this struggle, Comrade Charu Majumdar established Marxism-Leninism-Maoism as the ideological beacon across India, while simultaneously burying electoralism, urban uprisings, and all forms of revisionist lines.
Under his leadership, the CPI (M-L) was the first revolutionary party in this subcontinent to present the path of people's democratic revolution aimed at seizing power for the workers and peasants. The call to seize area-wise power in rural areas, with that Naxalbari agrarian revolution at its center, emerged as a guidance for revolutionary paths and struggles not only in India but also in East Bengal and various other regions of the subcontinent. Today's Maoist struggle in India is a continuation of the struggle waged by Naxalbari, Comrade Charu Majumdar, and other revolutionaries.
Friends, the armed agrarian revolution that commenced along four streams in our East Bengal during the 1970s was directly and indirectly invigorated by the Naxalbari struggle. At the same time, Comrade Charu Majumdar is our teacher regarding protracted people's war as the general line of revolution, agrarian revolution-people's democratic revolution, and the rejection of electoralism and economism. Comrade Charu Majumdar firmly showed the path to unlocking the initiative of the workers, landless-poor peasants, middle class, and other exploited masses. He adhered to the Maoist perspective of preparing people's forces from scratch through the elimination of class enemies and establishing base areas. He explicitly presented the program for a people's democratic revolution within a semi-colonial, semi-feudal context. Simultaneously, he provided the direction for struggle against US imperialism, Soviet social-imperialism, and the common enemy of the people of South Asia— Indian expansionism. Comrade Charu Majumdar supported the right to liberation and self-determination of all oppressed nationalities.
Nevertheless, Comrade Charu Majumdar and the leadership of that era were unable to overcome various limitations of the revolutionary struggle. Opportunist-revisionist groups of all stripes blame the line formulated by Comrade Charu Majumdar in various ways. As a result, they have practically discarded Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and the general line of East Bengal ideologically. To imperialism-expansionism, the exploiting class, and their revisionist sycophants, Comrade Charu Majumdar and Naxalbari are names of terror. Conversely, to the exploited and oppressed masses, Comrade Charu Majumdar is a great revolutionary, and the Naxalbari peasant struggle is the only path to liberation.
Therefore, come, upholding the ideology of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism through protracted people's war, let us develop the path of East Bengal's people's democratic revolution oriented toward Communism and Socialism— let us uphold the path of self-sacrifice of Comrade Charu Majumdar and all revolutionaries!
Long Live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism!
Eternal be the Teachings of Comrade Charu Majumdar!
Long Live the Naxalbari Peasant Struggle!
Long Live the People's Democratic Revolution of East Bengal!
Long Live Working Class Internationalism!
