10th March, 2022
Let us observe Anti-Imperialist Week from March 23rd to 29th
In the spirit of Proletarian Internationalism!
We are going to celebrate the anti-imperialist day on this March 23rd, the 90th anniversary of the
day of martyrdom of Comrades Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru hanged by the
British in India, in the background of simmering anti-imperialist struggles all
over the world. The martyrdom is a symbol of anti-imperialist consciousness.
Russian imperialism made a war of aggression on Ukraine which is the result of
the imperialist contention between US-EU and Russia in former Republics of
Soviet Union. The people of Ukraine are giving stiff resistance with the spirit
of anti-imperialism to this aggression. This is also the 53rd Anniversary of the
formation of New People’s Army of Communist Party of Philippines (CPP). On the
occasion the CC sends revolutionary greetings to CPP & NPA, all the
oppressed people and oppressed nationalities of the world fighting against
imperialism and wishes success in their struggles. It pays humble homage to all
the martyrs of these struggles. It calls upon the Maoist Parties, people’s
organisations and various revolutionary, democratic, nationality liberation
movements to take up programs on the occasion with doubled spirit in the fight
against imperialism.
After the British colonialism ended and India attained fake independence
in 1947, just like in the backward countries, imperialism imposed neo-colonial
exploitation in our country. LPG reforms of 1991 further allowed imperialist
penetration.
The imperialist economic and financial crisis that started in 2008 shook
the whole world. In order to overcome the crisis imperialism is putting the
burden on the backward countries and the working class and middle classes of
the capitalist countries. Imperialism thought it necessary to deploy
Para-military forces to suppress the rising struggles against imperialist
exploitation and Brahmanic Hindutva Fascist BJP to instigate fake nationalism.
Imperialist exploitive policies were much more aggressively implemented
since BJP came to power. The comprador bureaucratic bourgeois and big landlord
forces in our semi-colonial, semi-feudal country surrendered the economy of our
country totally to the imperialists together with them. They took up
demonetisation, GST, agrarian laws, making MOUs for plunder of natural
resources, anti-worker laws, annulment of Article 370 and 35A in Kashmir, implementation
of CAA and other such draconian laws, suppression of revolutionary movement
through SAMADHAN-Prahar offensive and paving way for establishing ‘Hindu state’
by splitting the country on the basis of religion.
Imperialist capital entered our country in the form of portfolio
investments and are looting the entire capital of our country. It entered the
sector of infrastructure and put the Municipalities and Corporations to tender
in the name of smart cities, brought ports in the name of Sagarmala, invested
in construction of roads all over the country and in power projects and
Railways. On the other hand, the government is privatising Insurance, Banking
and Railways, imperialists, comprador bureaucratic bourgeois class are taking
the lands into their hands through the three agrarian laws and other such
traitorous policies are being implemented.
‘Make in India’, Start Up and other such things that the BJP is crying
out do not sustain the economy of the country on strong foundations. The
‘export-oriented growth’ makes it a link in the imperialist chain and as a
supplier of manufactured spare parts for imperialist MNCs. Or else it remains
to be a plant that assembles spare parts. With this kind of production, the
country will be absolutely in the control of the imperialists.
The devastation of nature by imperialists is creating pandemics like
Corona as a part of their war policy. During the Corona period the economies
are totally restructuralised. With this, the unorganised sector, peasantry and
middle-class people are facing severe difficulties. People of the world and the
country are spending lakhs of rupees for treatment. Public money is transferred
to the comprador bureaucratic capitalists and imperialists in the name of
purchase of vaccines and other medicines.
Lenin said imperialism means war. Imperialists want war to overcome
crisis. As a part of it, imperialism is indulging in several wars in its
economic, political and geographical contention. Contention intensified between
the US, Europe (NATO) and Russia, China. Russia is making a war of aggression
on Ukraine. The ruling classes of our country are dependent on the imperialists
for military needs and so are not condemning the aggression of Russia on
Ukraine or the role of NATO in the leadership of the US. They are serving the
US in QUAD that might start war in our country in Indo-Pacific area in near
future.
While comprador bureaucratic
capitalists such as Ambani and Advani helping out the imperialists are minting
money, 70 percent of the people are in utter poverty. People all over the
country are fighting against the exploitive policies.
Farmers are increasingly turning into migrant and daily labourers. The
farmers’ struggle for one year against the proposed three Agrarian laws by the
Central government was a reverberating success. The workers are on the path of
struggle against the four new labour codes brought forth in the place of the
existing 44 labour laws. The new codes are against the workers in more than one
way. The workers shall be pressurised for work, the women workers lost their
benefits such as exemption from night duty and so on. Employees of various
sectors such as banking, industry and other public sectors are taking up
general strikes together with the workers against privatisation. Students,
teachers and all kinds of professionals, petty traders, national bourgeoisie
owning MSME are disturbed with the policies of the Indian ruling classes in
favour of imperialist loot. The MSME that provide livelihood to nearly 30
percent of the country’s population and 30 percent of the national income are
being ruined in an irrecoverable manner. The struggles of the people to solve
the problems of their daily lives such as rise in prices, against the
displacement caused by projects of Multi-National Companies and of the domestic
big capitalists, the struggles against new police camps against the state are
also part of anti-imperialist class struggle. Demonetisation, GST, atrocities
on people, Dalit and tribal people, women, religious minorities and other such
vulnerable sections are leading all these sections into the path of struggle.
While this is the actual condition of the people of the country the
government took up the ‘celebrations’ of 75 years of ‘independence’ of the
country in the name of ‘Azadi ka amrut mahotsav’. The program is nothing but to
divert the people from the actual problems. The ‘new India’ program is nothing
but the agenda of Brahmanic Hindutva Fascism. The situation demands a genuine
change in the system. The change should be a radical one that would give state
power to the alliance of the four classes in the leadership of the proletariat.
The ongoing Protracted People’s War in India clearly shows the path to attain
state power. All the oppressed classes, sections of the country must rise to
the occasion to destroy the exploitive system of the Imperialists, Comprador
Bureaucratic Bourgeoisie and Big Landlords and attain state power.
