this tactics of the IS is actually terrorising the people, not the imperialist bases and popular opinion is being created against the IS by the strong propaganda machinery of the imperialists. Attacks on metro stations, restaurants, theatre halls, busy market areas are actually killing mostly ordinary people. Thus instead of isolating the imperialists they themselves are being isolated. Such terror tactics cannot be successful. But one thing is clear from this phenom enon that imperialists often lift stones to drop on their own feet.
In this context one important task before the communists is presented by the globalisation process w hich is intended to develop an integrated regime of finance capital to rule over the world and fetter all economies into such a condition that no one country can get out of its clutches. The imperialists feel that by this process they can deter any attempt by any oppressed country to go out of its clutches and develop independently. But already people all over the world are fighting against this conspiracy. People of oppressed countries are struggling to break the shackles of imperialism. But their struggles can be strengthened only when all the oppressed people of world stand up unitedly against this global design of imperialism while working for revolution in their own countries. Communists all over the world will have to gear up their activities to unite the oppressed people of the world. Let the clarion call be“ W orking classes of different countries together with oppressed nations and peoples of the world unite and overthrow the present imp erialist globalisation and struggles to establish a socialist world system”.

National Situation
The period under rev iew coincided with the second term of UPA rule at the center. This period witnessed the unbridled implementation of the policies dictated by the imperialist financial institutions and deceit of people through the so-called democratic process of consulting the people.
This period w itnessed surrender to US imperialism both politically and militarily with all false assertions of being a world power. This period witnessed an intensified loot of national wealth by the MNCs and amassing of the bureaucratic capital by the Indian big bourg eoisie. This period witnessed the further deterioration of living and working conditions of toiling m asses of p eople and constant erosion of all civil and democratic rights of the people. This period saw the aggravation of exploitation and oppression by the ruling classes and resistance from the people Agrarian Crisis
The crisis of the peasant economy continued as the policies that precipitated it continue to be implemented. The agricultural sector’ s growth rate hovered around 1.5 per cent, and the yields growth rate decelerated to 1.5 per cent during this period. The high growth rates achiev ed during green revolution period( just over
3 per cent) were mainly due to the toil of poor and middle peasants best of its fruits being corned by the MNCs and big business. With the new economic policies, the sup ports extended to the peasantry during the g reen revolution are being gradually withdrawn. As a result, the prices of inputs to continue the cultivation had gone up. This has pushed the peasants more into the clutches of usurious money lenders. As the institutional credit is being curtailed, this situation got aggravated.
With the signing of the WTO agreement, distress sale of farm produce became m ore acute during this period. This has not only affected the poor and middle peasants b ut also the rich peasants.
Thus the high cost of inputs due to withdrawal of subsidies and denial of sustainable prices forced the peasants to borrow money. W ith the accep tance of Narasimhan committee’ s recommendations on agriculture, the scheduled banks reduced the share of credit to agriculture, thus the poor peasant was left out of the institutional credit.. The indebtedness of the peasants had gone up to 48.7 per cent and it is highest in AP( 82 %) followed by TN( 74 %) Punjab( 65 %) Karnataka( 61 %) and Maharashtra( 55 %).
Any slightest adverse situation in agriculture is driving the peasants to commit suicides. Of late, the suicides by the peasants has extended to West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar along with previously known AP, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and others.
The rural India had a harrowing experience during this period. There was pauperisation of peasantry degrading them from middle to poor and then to landless peasantry. The landlessness and
