The economic and political theories
embodied in the Kautilya’s works
and in Hindu religious thinking were
presented as acceptable for all and
put into practice shamelessly. They
made use of slave and feudalism
as well as modern capitalist and
imperialist economic and cultural
forces. In this manner they gained
the confidence of the exploiting
ruling classes that they alone have
the capacity to sustain semi-feudal
and semi-colonial nature of Indian
society. But this game cannot
continue for long. The people have
already begun to see through the
sm oke screen and started
detesting them.
In a nut shell, the people’ life-
economic, the political, social and
cultural systems are going to turn
more anarchic and crisis ridden. It
could be seen during the previous
regimes. The NDA came to power
in 2014 elections by criticizing that
the UPA regime had thrown
agriculture into turmoil, impeded
the manufacturing sector and thus
increased unemployment, and by
promising to double the income of
farmers, to revive the manufa-
cturing sector and to create one
crore jobs every year. But every
measure it had taken – Make in
India, GST, and demonetization
etc- had delivered a unrecoverable
hard blow to the peasants and
small and medium industries. After
regaining power in 2019, it raised
the curtain to enact the same
drama.
While the BJP placated the
Hindu religion as the life style of the
country and Hindu religion as
nationalism and patriotism, the
Congress not only failed to counter
it but also distorted the very
concept of secularism. It promoted
all the religious customs and
practices in the name of equanimity
of all religions to gain votes. All the
ruling class parties have trampled
the understanding that secularism
means that religion must not
June,July - 2019
interfere in politics and state affairs
in a democratic state. Any how the
people had thwarted the attempt of
BJP to gain hold in southern states
by raking up issue of women’s
entry into Sabarimala temple.
Under the influence of anti-caste,
democratic and progressive
movements led by the communist
party as well as progressive
thinkers, the people have defeated
the attempts of BJP. It is again
proved that to defeat communalism
it is imperative to link the
democratic movements with class
struggles of the down-trodden
people. The common people are
realizing this fact. The masses of
middle and upper middle classes
have to recognize this fact.
The CPI (ML) is putting
forward the following tasks before
the people:
1. Intensify class struggles
against feudal, comprador
bourgeois and imperialist
exploitation!
2. Expose the ideology and
politics of BJP that are dividing
the people and raking up
national chauvinism and
intensify political struggles
against it!
3. Expose and oppose commu-
nalism, caste division in the
society; in concrete form –
people must liberate them
selves from the traditional
thinking influenced by religion;
the poor peasants of so-called
upper castes and toilers of
so-called lower castes must
forge class unity and must
unite through class struggles!
4. Prepare
for
organized
struggles against the fascist
trends which are growing at
present in the Indian society
under the guise of Hindu
communalism which are
aimed at diverting the people
from the real problems of their
life and against the policies
that serve the interests of big
bourgeoisie, big landlords
and Imperialist finance capital.
5. Build a powerful cultural
movement against feudal and
imperialist cultures that are
promoting communalism,
casteism and all regressive
ideas and customs!
6. Consistently strive to unite
with all the forces that can be
united in the struggles taking
the Communist Revolu-
tionaries and its nucleus.
With revolutionary greetings,
Central Committee
