who have had practical proof of the swindling and exploiting character of British rule , and to build up revolutionary ex-soldiers ’ organisations among them and wherever possible , fighting detachments to prepare and support the future national insurrection and agrarian movement under the leadership of the Party . V . The CP of India calls upon the class-conscious workers to organise fraternisation with Indian soldiers with the object of establishing closest friendship and explaining the solidarity of the interests of workers , peasants and the soldiers in the fight for freedom and the abolition of all forms of exploitation . H . Youth ’ s Demands I . The CP of India calls upon the revolutionary working-class youth to build up the Young Communist League . The Young Communist League of India being an illegal organisation owing to the complete lack of rights and the prevailing terror , has as its object to organise the widest possible masses of working-class , peasant and revolutionary student youth around the banner of the Communist Party , doing so either directly or through the medium of auxiliary , legal and semilegal mass organisations ( Youth sections in the Trade Unions , etc .). II . The YCL of India as the helper of the Party has the special task of organising the working youth under the banner of Communism . The YCL of India must come forward as a political organisation which subordinates all forms of struggle , and mass organisations — economic , cultural , sports etc .— to the interests of the political struggle namely , the overthrow of the imperialist yoke and the winning of power by the workingclass and the peasantry . III . The CP of India calls for the country-wide organisation both of mixed and separate workers , peasants and students detachments , both to defend the people ’ s demonstrations , strikes , etc . and in order to make systematic preparations for the armed struggle of the Indian people .

January - 2022 spreading political propaganda among the soldiers and police . The CP of India considers that the call of the “ Left ” nationalists to the soldiers to leave the army and take their discharge , in accordance with Gandhi ’ s philosophy , of non-violence , is a mistake . The task of genuine revolutionaries is to persuade the soldier , while staying in the army , lo prepare and raise , when the time is ripe , the banner of armed insurrection and ( to fight ) shoulder to shoulder with the toiling people , to overthrow British rule . V . With the object of protecting the toiling youth against physical and cultural degeneration , and in order to develop its revolutionary offensive for the national and social liberation of the toiling masses , the CP of India fights for : a ) Limitation of the working day to 6 hours for youths from 16 to 20 . Prohibition of employment of children under 16 . b ) Universal free and compulsory education up to 16 in the national language of the pupil . Free feeding , clothing and supply of text-books to children at the expense of the State . Introduction of vocational training for youths at the expense of the State and employers . c ) Paid weekly and annual ( 6 weeks ) holiday for youths . d ) Stale maintenance of unemployed youths at rates equivalent to the cost of living .
Conclusion
The Communist Party of India , putting forward its programme of demands of the Indian revolution , calls upon the toiling masses to rally under the revolutionary banner of the Party and carry on the struggle to the successful conquest of power and the establishment of the democratic dictatorship of the working-class and the peasantry in the form of Soviets .
The CP of India declares that the successful solution of the problems facing the revolution against feudalism and for emancipation will open up the possibility , with the help of the international proletariat and the class offensive of the exploited masses of our country of the revolution developing through a number of stages into a proletarian revolution , thereby creating requisite conditions for the development of our country on socialist lines , avoiding the further stage of domination of the capitalist system .
In this struggle the Indian people are not alone . They have an ally in the revolutionary workers of all countries in the world . The workers of the whole world are fighting for the overthrow of international Imperialism and the abolition of the whole system of capitalist exploitation , which is now going through a very profound crisis . The crisis of the feudal and capitalist systems of exploitation in India is at present being combined with the world crisis , which leads to the great sharpening of all antagonisms , the approach of wars , and the rise of a new wave of revolutionary struggles .
The growing crisis is producing the growth of stubborn resistance and counter offensive on the part of the international proletariat and the colonial peoples . The strength of the international revolution is growing . In one of the countries of the world , Soviet Russia , the working- class has long ago overthrown the power of the exploiters and is successfully building up a Socialist State of society . The Workers of the Soviet Union have created a firm bulwark of the international Communist movement and are showing in practice how the world ought to be reconstructed in the interests of the workers and peasants , The Soviet Union is a reliable ally of the colonial peoples , including the toilers of India .
The toiling masses of India will receive the support of the revolutionary workers of all countries , particularly of the developing Chinese revolution . The toiling masses of India will also be supported by the revolutionary workers of Great Britain , led by the British Communist Party , while the ruling Labour Party of MacDonald and Independent Labour Party of Maxton and Brockway , who are to tighten and maintain the noose of slavery and poverty round the neck of the Indian people .
