" In India, the revolutionary armed uprising of the peasants of Naxalbari, which marks the 50th anniversary, was inspired by the Great Proletarian Chinese Cultural Revolution. Naxalbari was a key event in history under the leadership of Com. Charu Majumdar - one of the two great leaders, teachers and founders of the PCI (Maoist), along with Kanhai Chatterjee, event that marked a new beginning in the history of the democratic revolution of the country .

"In India, the Naxalbari peasant revolutionary armed uprising, which will mark its 50th anniversary, was influenced and inspired by the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution of China." Naxalbari was a breakthrough event under the leadership of C. Charu Majumdar - one Of the two great leaders, teachers and founders of the CPI (Maoist, C. Charu Majumdar and Kanhai Chatterjee - which marked a new beginning in the history of the country's democratic revolution. "

It is the observation made by the Central Committee of the CPI (Maoist) at the same time as it calls to celebrate the four great events of history to achieve socialism in the world, including the fiftieth anniversary of Naxalbari. It is obvious that the Maoists - even more so in the CPI (Maoist) - are the true heirs of the Naxalbari Movement in India, as well as certain revolutionary groups and individuals throughout the country. Unless a Bolshevik party is built with the Bolshevik spirit to bring about the Indian revolution that unites all these revolutionary forces, the New Democracy Revolution in India, a precursor to socialism can not be achieved.

Naxalbari is a dividing line in all aspects of politics, Semicolonial semi-feudal society and culture between the exploiting and exploited classes, the rulers and the ruled, the comprador bourgeoisie and the broad masses of peasants and workers, parliamentary politics and the alternative way of the people. In a word, the class struggle under the leadership of the working class as the vanguard to seize the power of the state by the people, the productive forces to change the relations of production.

Naxalbari for the first time defined the character of the State as a semifeudal and semicolonial dictatorship, a bourgeois comprador. He had taken Maoism, Marxism-Leninism of this time as his vision of the world. He had rejected parliamentary policy. He had chosen the path of the Revolution of New Democratic and had undertaken a prolonged war against the State, with the armed struggle as the main form of struggle. Its economic program of struggle for land began in Naxalbari on May 23, 1967, with the Santalas of Naxalbari and the Kheribari peoples occupying land and declaring their right to the land until May 25 and giving their lives to protect it against the Intervention of the state armed forces. His military program is guerrilla warfare until he liberated villages and ultimately entered the face-to-face war in the capture of the Center. Until reaching its stage of mobile warfare as a whole in Dandakaranya, Bastar in Chhattisgarh and Gadchiroli in Maharashtra.

Its political program is "all power for the people" as that of the Soviets in Soviet Russia, the communes in the People's Republic of China. This political program was in force in its embryonic form in Naxalbari, Srikakulam, Wynad and other areas of adivasi peasant struggle, even during the peasant armed struggle Telangana (1946-51). The program has taken a firm, vivid and crystalline form by adopting the resolution to form the Rajya Grass Committees in 1995 at the Special Plenary of the CPI (People's War). Despite being crushed in hundreds of villages in Telangana del Norte during 1995-2003, with killings in clashes and other extra constitutional forms of bloodshed to implement imperialist policies of globalization, Was able to sustain in Dandakaranya and during the last twelve years has risen up to Janatana Sarkar, where a united front, self-sufficient, united front of the landless, poor peasantry, middle peasantry and rich peasantry. Adivasi, Dalit and oppressed classes are governed under the leadership of the Party, with the Popular Liberation Guerrilla Army protecting the alternative power of the people. And that is why we see the people's war today, particularly in East and Central India, in the Adivasi areas of Jangalmahal in Bengal, Saranda in Jharkhand, Dandakaranya, Andhra-Orissa Border and Western Ghats.

In fact, The spirit of Naxalbari of wide expansion is continued by the CPI (ML) of Andhra Pradesh taking advantage of the experience of the campesino armed struggle of Telangana in the implementation of the mass line and the formation of mass organizations, especially after the movement of Srikakulam.

Following the retreat and martyrdom of Charu Mazumdar in 1972, self-criticism was drafted and efforts were made to form the Central Organizing Committee which finally resulted during the Emergency to establish the "Road to Revolution" at the meeting of the Telangana Regional Committee in 1976 Due to the inheritance of the Telangana Virasam Armed Struggle - Association of Revolutionary Writers was formed in 1970, Jana Natya Mandali a large increase in popular cultural movement has arrived in 1972, Pilupu - a magazine for the oppressed masses began in 1973 and by that time also formed the Union of Radical Students of 1974 (RSU).

During the Emergency the radical students had to go underground and conducted studies on land relations in villages that can be compared to the Hunan Studies under the leadership of Mao Tse Tung, resulting in the massive massive increase in Occupation of land by poor and landless peasants, especially Dalits and oppressed classes. The Second USW Warangal Conference had called on students and young people to "go to the villages" to propagate the policy of the New Democratic Revolution and to help the peasants occupy the land and fight to protect it. A meeting organized in Jagityal, Which later became known as Jagityal Jaitra Yatra in September 1978, occupying land in 150 villages and declaring the right of the people over it. From then on it is a continuous history of class struggle with mass line.

The CPI (People's War) was formed in 1980 and with Perspective Dandakaranya had sent squadrons to Sironcha from Maharashtra and Bastar from Madhya Pradesh. The Dandakaranya Perspective predicted that, unlike a base zone liberated in China's Yenan, the Indian Revolution might need more base areas to usher in the New Democracy Revolution, as it will also be a revolution to achieve socialism in the world.

In 1999 the CPI Party (ML) unit that is active in Bengal, Bihar, Delhi and Punjab join with People's War taking the name of CPI (ML) People's War On September 21, 2004 the CPI (People's War) and the Maoist Communist Center with the long history of class struggle in Bihar and Bengal under the Leadership of Dakshinadesh were united and constituted as CPI (Maoist).

The United CPI (Maoist) Congress took place in 2007 after the first CPI (ML) congress in 1970. During the last ten years the People's War in this country continues under this leadership of the CPI (Maoist). It also seals a mark among the different parties of the CPI (ML) that participate in the parliamentary elections, while they speak of the armed struggle and the CPI (Maoist) that adheres to the boycott of the elections and to the armed struggle like main form of fight of classes. The United CPI (Maoist) Congress took place in 2007 after the first CPI (ML) congress in 1970.

Despite the ups and downs, advances and setbacks, once the mass line was adopted in 1976, there has been a consistent run. Today we see the movement in more than one state, even according to the central government there is the organization of the CPI (Maoist) in 16 states and in many states particularly in DK, AOB, Jharkhand and Bihar, Western Ghats there are armed struggles supported By mass organizations. And in DK there is Bhoomkal Militia which is the People's Guerrilla Army safeguarding the power of the people.

Although it seems a struggle for land, whether in Naxalbari, Srikakulam or Telangana in 1970, it is a real anti-feudal, anti-imperialist struggle with a slogan of "land for the one who works it," But pointing to the takeover of state power by the people. That is why the purchasing power class of the Center (ie the Federation, our note) and the States look at it with fear and mark it as the "greatest internal threat" to The system and the State.

The imperialist policy of globalization adopted by the Indian government in 1991 as a new economic policy demonstrated Naxalbari's vision of characterizing the state as a collusion of comprador, feudal, and imperialist forces.

Naxalbari in Dandakaranya, Bihar and Jharkhand, AOB, Western Ghats and Jangalmahal is adopting an alternative village development program to protect the natural wealth and human labor that are looted by multinational companies and large East and Central India companies. Whatever the political party in power in parliamentary politics - whether a party of the whole of India or a regional party - is adopting the politics of globalization and therefore the patriots, the democrats, the environmentalists and all those who genuinely They feel that to defend the sovereignty of the country is to be united with the struggles of the great masses of this country, in particular adivasis, dalits, peasants, workers, women, Muslims, students and young unemployed in different sectors not organized under the direction of the CPI ) And other revolutionary forces for the political alternative - self-sufficient and self-sustaining - self-government that will inaugurate the Revolution of New Democrcy. That is the dream of thousands of martyrs who have given their lives in the struggle against this system of exploitation and the State. It is not necessary to go into details of the degeneracy of parliamentary politics, especially in the light of 72 votes in favor of Sharmila in Manipur and the UP elections where the BJP could obtain the absolute majority without giving a single place to the Muslims. So the only hope left for the democratic forces in this country is the New Democracy Revolution, the unsatisfied democratic task that the Naxalbari movement has given us 50 years ago.
