country , at Naxalbari shook the ruling classes and at the same time communists all over the country welcomed it as a path breaker after the great Telangana movement . From then on till today even after many splits in the movement the ruling classes of India are afraid of the specter of Naxalbari .
In 1969 under the garb of Indo- Soviet Peace Treaty a military alliance was forged . But the global crisis that started in the middle of 1960s took a severe turn in 1973 onwards . In the face of that crisis a split in the ruling classes took place . The division amongst the ruling class parties today had its beginning then .
Meanwhile India had gone through another war with Pakistan and dismembered the Eastern part . The US opposed the war but strengthened with the support of Soviet Union Indira Gandhi went forward to make the ambition of the Indian big bourgeoisie fulfill . Indira also annexed Sikkim a neighboring country . But all these could not stop the split in the ruling class , since the US was bent on finding some closure people to serve its interest .
From then the contradiction among different imperialists has been taking a zigzag development . Taking advantage to it some regional bourgeoisie have appeared . They according to their immediate interest allies with either of the sides .
This is the general scenario under which the present national situation is opening itself up . The brief history above is necessary to understand that the situation has not suddenly appeared at the will of this or that political party . It should also be noted that though the tryst with Soviet Social imperialism was short lived but it had a long range influence in Indian running of state . The military , all the arms , army , navy and air force is still now dependent on Russia , submarines to missiles to logistical support systems to helicopters to aeroplanes . The energy sector for prospecting and exploration are dependent on Russian technology . Similar in the case of certain steel industries and heavy machineries .
June - 2022
But the capital starved India needed the help of IMF and WORLD BANK to swim across the critical situation in the early 1980s . And the IMF-WORLD BANK combine started dictating terms — restructuring of industries , developing service sectors without productivity , changing the agricultural production process according to the necessity of imperialists . Infrastructure developments at the cost of land of the poor , largescale replacement of tribals for mines prospecting all started during the Congress regime .
The communists though split were the forces who were at the helm of resistance . From Kalinganagar to Srikakulam to Raigarh to Niyamgiri just to name a few , there were forces resisting but one type was common , they were so called Naxalites , the Communist revolutionaries .
After joining the WTO and being a part of the globalisation policy of opening up trade and capital market to foreign players without any restriction , two important things happened that had effect on India . First , the disintegration of Soviet Union and weakening of Russia as a global power limited the choice of Indian ruling classes to bargain between imperialist powers . Two , large scale privatisation of public sectors and withdrawal of state subsidies for agricultural inputs created an atmosphere of insecurity , and it proved to be correct , among the people . Even railway stations , airports and ports were privatised . Slowly the postal system started to be run in such a manner that people started shifting to private system for communications .
The only sector that grew very quickly was the IT sector : There too the real growth was in the service area . For the products large scale dependence on the US companies and China became the reality . The danger could be felt first in 2007 , when a global economic crisis brought crisis in the industries and giant financial sectors worldwide , and the IT sector which was greatly dependent on producing services to them became the worst hit sector . In this situation the ruling classes needed government which can rule by iron fists . The BJP with its fascist ideology was the choice and the US imperialists were best suited for providing it the strength .
The BJP with its Hindutva propaganda has created an atmosphere such that the worst hit people in this crisis could be divided on the basis of already existing social divisions .
Moreover whenever there is a strong and meaningful resistance is organised they attack it with vengeance and leaders are clamped with draconian acts like UAPA , NSA , AFSPA and so on .
They are trying to enforce the new Labour code . They have amended the Constitution to withdraw all special rights of the Kashmiris .
People of India have a history of rising against oppressive rulers . That was proved when the peasants of Northern India carried on a seize for one year right at entrance points of the National Capital and forced the PM to declare that the Three Agricultural Laws will not be enforced .
This is a situation when the revolutionary situation is getting ripe , we must act , and act judiciously . We must develop the subjective force by uniting the communist revolutionaries . But just addition of people will not be enough , resoluteness is the key . We need concrete analysis of concrete situation . Our style of functioning must be changed . Economic struggles , mass organizations have their limits which have been clearly pointed out by Lenin . Party work and mass organizational work are not one and the same . The present situation needs unity of the communist revolutionaries . Not for getting ourselves organizationally bigger , but for making us stronger to face the brutal forces of the present ruling clique with fascist mindset .
We will have to analyse what are the convenient conditions for the rulers with fascist ideology to establish fascism , and what are the inherent difficulties and subjective forces of opposition that not only deter it , but if turned into an objective force will defeat it . �
