We, the International League of
Peoples’ Struggle, join all anti-imperialist and democratic forces in
solidarity with the Indian people on the
occasion of the International Day of Support for People's War in India on July
1. We support the Indian people and all
revolutionary forces in waging the people's democratic revolution for national
liberation and democracy.
The Indian people are waging a just
struggle to overthrow the semicolonial and semifeudal ruling system and
liberate themselves from imperialist domination and from feudal and semifeudal
exploitation. We have the highest
admiration for the Indian people for following the advanced detachment of the
working class, the Communist Party of India (Maoist), and for building the People's
Liberation Guerrilla Army and the revolutionary united front, the organs of Red political power and the mass
organizations of workers, peasants, indigenous people, women, youth, cultural
workers and other professionals.
The Indian people are now waging the
people's war in extensive areas of the Indian countryside. They are thus resolutely and militantly
answering the central question of revolution, which is the seizure of political
power. They are seeking to fulfill the
main content of the democratic revolution, which is to satisfy the peasant
hunger for land and to prevent the imperialists and local reactionaries from
further grabbing the land from the peasants and the adivasis (indigenous
people).
The people's war has intensified and
expanded in the mountainous and forested areas because the multinational
corporations, the big compradors and corrupt bureaucrats are unleashing the
most brutal and deceptive campaigns in order to grab the land, forest, mineral and water resources
from the adivasis and other people. The
imperialists and the reactionaries have no right to plunder the resources, ruin
the environment and further impoverish the Indian people.
We applaud the Indian people and all
their revolutionary forces for overcoming tremendous odds and for winning ever greater victories in people's war. They have frustrated and defeated vicious and bloody campaigns such as
Operation Green Hunt. This has been
directed and carried out with the
collaboration of US military advisors. It has employed various India’s state
security forces, including the
specialized anti-Naxalite police,
paramilitary Greyhounds, elite
CoBRAs (Commando Battalion for Resolute Action) and death squads of the
reactionary and revisionist parties.
The
Indian people have not been
frightened by the gross and systematic human rights violations being committed
by their enemy. Such human rights
violations include abductions, illegal detention, torture, false encounters,
selective murders and wholesale murders of the adivasis, dalits (untouchables) and
other oppressed and exploited working people.
Vilification of the revolutionary forces and cadres as “terrorist” has been used by the enemy to
justify the most barbaric and gory acts of oppression. But these have only
served to inflame the revolution. The crimes of the enemy incite the people to
fight ever more fiercely for their national and social liberation
We the ILPS wish the Indian people and
revolutionary forces to win ever greater
victories in the new democratic revolution through people's war. We are hopeful and optimistic that they shall
play an increasingly significant role in the upsurge and advance of the
anti-imperialist and democratic struggle on a global scale. We daresay that the Indian revolution will play a great and pivotal role in the
world proletarian revolution for socialism as a consequence of the bankruptcy
of neoliberalism and the ever worsening crisis of global capitalism.
Long live the Indian people and
revolutionary forces!
Down with imperialism, domestic feudalism and
bureaucrat capitalism!
Reap greater victories in the people's
democratic revolution through people's war!
Advance the world proletarian revolution!
Long live international solidarity!
