emphasis, we think that humanist, idealist and reformist movements cannot bring the total change in the society. In the present system, all the governments of any party are deceiving the people in the name of pro-people programs.
The forces of Communist Movement, democratic revolution and socialist revolution-all are being considered as the left forces. We think that they have issues of commonness. The questions like the democratic rights incorporated in laws because of the struggles of people; campaign of theories of equality; developing the consciousness of class struggle on the basis of Marxism need not be the issues of difference.
The Communists and Socialists with the orientations of democratic and socialist revolutions need not have any difference on questions like demanding the proper implementation of laws enacted by the Governments. Such as land reforms; forest rights; the rights of workers, Dalits, Women and calling the classes and sections of people to protest actions for the implementation of these rights. This program will provide a minimum basis for united action.
Similarly, the question of opposing the imperialist penetration into the Indian economy and through it keeping Indian political arena under its control and binding India to their strategies of world domination also can provide a minimum basis for the above mentioned forces to come on to a common platform. There need be no difference in opposing the imperialist threats, invasions and wars in the international sphere. Then, there is question of nationalism, pure nationalism-ultra-nationalism. Of the three, the Communist Revolutionaries have one orientation based on Marxism on the question of nationalism and national struggles. Perhaps, there is no common view on this question.
The regional interests and regionalism are not one and the same. The Communists have commonness on the question of supporting the demands of the people of a particular region for economic and social development and organizing the movements to realize them. At the same time, we are opposed to turning it into regionalism and regional chauvinism. There may also be commonness on this with a minor difference.
There are differences on the question, which form of struggle is suitable for the proletarian forces to win the state power. We can develop the anti-feudal and anti-imperialist movements, in a broader sense of the term, while, at the same time, each working according to one’ s own orientation regarding the forms of struggle. Cannot we build the anti-feudal and antiimperialist movements basing on the principle of struggle-propaganda-agitation-struggle and political consciousness?

Every one has one’ s own orientation regarding the Indian Constitution and the principles of justice. Yet, the experience of six decades show how they are in the service of wealthiest classes, helping the common people too now and then as a result of people’ s protest and struggle and how every day they are being made nominal and mockery by the same classes who are mainly benefitting from them. This experience can help us to overcome the difference on this question too. The promises made in the Constitution and the assurances of justice made in the laws are keeping not only the common people but also the progressive forces in illusions.
The forces who are struggling to change the Indian society have to examine the challenges before them in the light of this. 1. Feudalism- one of the main enemies- is a question that concerns the change of feudal economic, social and political conditions.
2. The question is one of proving and focusing on imperialism, which is well entrenched in India in every sector, as one of the main enemies. It is a question of facing the imperialist exploitation in the present stage.
3. The agrarian question-the main source of production – is the question of ownership of the land which solves the problem of food, cloth and other problems of the crores of people.
4. The question is of industrial sector which is a source of employment and meets the needs of crores of people entrapped in the oppressive clutches of imperialist plunder.
5. The question of distributing the wealth created by the working and toiling people in the agrarian and industrial sectors.
6. The question of bringing the progressive forces, Communists, Communist Revolutionaries and Socialist forces together which are the leading forces in raising the political, economic, social and cultural level of the masses of Indian people.
7. The question is one of debating the philosophical, ideological and political questions in a democratic and healthy atmosphere and striving to resolve them. The question is one of evolving the forums of united action and functioning them with proper coordination and on the basis of equality.
8. The question is how to view the forms of struggle and the struggles that are being carried on in accordance with ones’ own method. The question of extending the solidarity. Extending the solidarity does not mean stopping just at condemning the state repression, but standing politically and physically in support of achieving the slogans of struggle and aspirations of the people. Besides this, the spontaneous movements are coming up
