32-13-26 / 1 , B . M . R . Road M . R . Puram Vijayawada-520 010 other states . In several areas , the land to the tiller was no more a slogan of propaganda . It had come to the fore as the slogan of action for lakhs of poor and landless peasants and demanded an immediate resolution . The task of questioning the authority of feudal classes over the land and defending from their mercenaries had come to the fore in practice where ever the peasant struggles had taken an organized and militant form . The struggle against modern revisionism has had its wide impact on the communists in India too . The tremendous victories won by China in Socialist construction and the victories and advances of national liberation movement had given a great impetus to the peasant movements and the movements of working class and other toiling people in India . The Congress which was monopolizing power in the country till then , had suffered inglorious defeats in several states in the March 1967 elections and was replaced by coalition govts in 9 states . This development came as a pointer to the intensifying contradictions and crisis faced by the comprador bourgeois – landlord ruling classes as well as the growing disenchantment and protest among the people against the autocratic rule of the exploiting classes . All these were pointers to the existence of fine revolutionary situation in the country at the time . Naxalbari

Naxalbari was not a spontaneous , local or isolated ocurance as some think or seek to interpret . It was not an adventurist act by some “ extremist ” or impetuous elements isolated or separated from the people as some seek to vulgarise or sling mud at it .

The Naxalbari peasant revolutionary movement is a product of consistent and dedicated work carried on by the Communists for several years among the most exploited and oppressed people with a revolutionary orientation and in the light of revolutionary mass line and in a fine revolutionary situation .

The peasant revolutionary movements and the peasant armed struggles that were waged by the people in the world and India ( China , Vietnam , Tebhaga , Telangana and others ) were a source of great inspiration for this struggle . The ideological struggle carried on by the Communists in this region against revisionism and neo revisionism as well as the political work among the people had provided the necessary ideological guidance , political direction and created the conditions for this struggle . The efforts made by the Communists in this area to build the party and mass organizations had ensured the necessary organizational basis and leadership for this struggle . The masses of people had developed their consciousness and organized in the course of struggles in various forms – legal , illegal , peaceful , violent and many other forms – against the jotedars and the govt . The people were not satisfied with and did not stop at the resolution of immediate problems . They sought to resolve the land question-the main content of agrarian revolution and overthrow the feudal authority through their struggle . They sought to carry out the revolutionary land reforms .

Dajeeling is a mountainous and forest region in West Bengal . The inhuman exploitation and oppression by the Tea plantation Owners had pushed the peasants here into abject poverty and turned landless . Naxalbari , Kharibari and Phansideva were the main arena for the Naxalbari peasant struggle in Siliguri Sub-division of Darjeeling district . Com . Charu Mazumdar , Com . Kanu Sanyal , Com .
