On July 28, 1972, the Indian Maoist leader, comrade Charu Majumdar
(popularly known as CM and general secretary of the Communist Party of
India, Marxist-Leninist (CPI-ML) from its formation in 1969) died
after ten days of torture in police custody in Calcutta, India. Born
in Siliguri in the northern part of West Bengal state in 1918, he
became an organizer by the age of 20 and became a member of the
Communist Party of India (CPI) a few years later. Primarily an
organizer among the peasants of Jalpaiguri, he led crop seizures
during the great British-caused famine of 1943.
During the struggle against modern revisionism in the 1960s, CM joined
those who opposed the revisionism of the newly-formed CPI(M)
leadership who avoided the key ideological issues during that time.
CM's writings (the historic 'eight documents' - all available in our
archive in the India - "Liberation Anthology" section) formed the
political-ideological basis for the emerging Maoist movement in India.
Already, Mao Tse-Tung's strategy of People's War had inspired the
peasant revolt of Telengana in 1948, which was subsequently betrayed
by the revisionist CPI who collaborated with Nehru's armed mercenaries
in crushing the rebellion.
When the peasants in the remote village of Naxalbari in north Bengal
rose up in armed revolt against the feudal landlords on March 18,
1967, CM (one of the leaders of this uprising) saw this as the clear
harbinger of India's long-delayed revolution. As one of the founders
and general secretary of the CPI-ML, CM and others made the supreme
sacrifice to begin the heroic task of beginning people's war for
India's New Democratic Revolution and liberation of the masses from
semi-feudalism, comprador bureaucrat capitalism and imperialism.
Although CM's martyrdom and the brutal repression of the CPI-ML by the
Indian ruling classes, and its subsequent split into several factions,
marked a setback in India's revolution, the spirit of Naxalbari is
alive and well in the ongoing armed struggles, mass movements and
peasant committees in Andhra Pradesh, North Telengana, Bihar and in
the immense forests of Dandakaranya in central India. There are also
various nationality struggles currently raging in several parts of the
country at the present time. And although the revolutionary movement
in India is still disunited, Naxalbari remains a sparkling jewel in
the crown of the international proletariat, a promise still unfolding
before our eyes.
To mark the 26th anniversary of CM's death, we at the Maoist
Documentation Project are pleased to announce a major upgrade to our
India section of the archive. We have begun to archive material from
different Communist organizations in India.
Currently these include documents from the CPI-ML (People's War),
which has been engaged in armed struggle since 1980 and is developing
guerrilla zones in Andhra Pradesh, North Telengana and Dandakaranya.
These zones encompass about 60 million people. The CPI-ML (PW)
documents include:
* "30 Years of Naxalbari": covering 1967-1997, this gives an
historic overview of the protracted struggle of the Indian
proletariat and peasantry (against the state of the Indian big
comprador bureaucratic bourgeoisie and feudal landlords) up to the
present time. Contains several color photos.
* "All India Special Conference (Nov. 15-30, 1995)": delegates from
all over India met secretly deep in the forests of Dandakaranya and
worked to strengthen the development of the CPI-ML (PW) and expand
the guerrilla zones. Contains color photos.
* "Special Features of Indian Revolution and Marxist Approach
Towards the Resolution of Those Problems": A paper presented by
CPI-ML (Peoples War) (COC) at the International Seminar Organised
by CPI (ML) Janashakti.
In the future we expect to archive the 'Voice of the Vanguard',
journal of the CPI-ML (PW) on a regular basis.
We have also added documents from the Communist Party Reorganisation
Centre of India (Marxist-Leninist), which was formed in 1994 in the
western state of Maharashtra by the merger of four groups. These
include:
* Basic Documents: this contains the Program, Path and Constitution
of the CPRCI-ML.
* "Present International Situation and Our Tasks": from issue #4 of
'The Comrade', the journal of the CPRCI-ML.
* "Present National Situation and Our Tasks": from issue #5 of 'The
Comrade', the journal of the CPRCI-ML.
Finally, we have also added two excellant examples of historical
materialism by Dr. Suniti Kumar Ghosh, a member of the orginal 1969
CPI-ML Central Committee led by Charu Majumdar, and a profound Marxist
scholar, historian and political economist. Dr. Ghosh, who works
outside traditional academic settings, consistently maintains a high
quality in his work and explains the unfolding of history from the
point of view of the exploited masses.
These include:
* "India and the Raj, 1919-1947: Volume 2": This is the second half
of Dr. Ghosh's monumental study of the Indian big bourgeoisie under
colonial rule, and its principle political representative, the
Indian National Congress. The present volume can be read on its own
and covers the years 1931-1947. Against a vast panorama of heroic
anti-imperialist struggles put up by the peasants, workers, urban
petty bourgeois, men of the armed forces, etc, this volume exposes
the attitude of the big bourgeoisie towards imperialism, the
Congress leadership's stand on various issues such as communalism,
caste, and the rights of nationalities, the role of the Congress
ministries 1937-39, the nature of the 'Quit India' gamble, the role
of the CPI in the freedom movement, the reasons for the Partition of
India, the nature of 'independence' and why the British quit, and
the secret of Gandhi's 'charisma'.
Exhaustively researched and relying on primary sources while looking
at India's freedom struggle from a Marxist perspective, Dr. Ghosh
strips away the conventional historical mythology about Gandhi and the
Indian National Congress Party and shows how India's "liberation"
largely occured under the aegis of imperialism, and how India's big
bourgeoisie and the Congress party betrayed the struggle for freedom
waged by the Indian masses.
* "'Development' Planning in India: Lumpendevelopment and
Imperialism": This penetrating and insightful example of Marxist
political economy looks at how and why for fifty years, the Indian
rulers have made great claims that their Five-Year Plans were
'socialistic'. Yet these Plans have been a miserable failure at
ensuring the people's minimum welfare, let alone bring about
'socialism'. It also compares planning in people's China during the
time of Mao Tse-tung with that adopted by the Indian leaders which
has led to the "utter deprivation, disease and slow death", and "the
appalling degradation and dehumanization" of the Indian people.
We hope our readers will find this material useful and enlightening.
We have also finalized Volume IX of the "Selected Works of Mao
Tse-tung", and have added a section on Maoism internationally, where
we will try to provide material about struggles around the world.
Also, we have added a new section of documents from the Communist
Party of China during the Cultural Revolution, and have some
theoretical documents from the Communist Party of Ceylon. All of
these sections are still being developed and we hope you will bear
with us as we try to improve electronic accessability to this rare but
important material.
In solidarity,

Your all-encompassing term 'losers' to describe our efforts to make
known to the world the heroic self-sacrifice of the tens of thousands of
revolutionaries of India as they faced the fascist onslaught of the
Indian State (while you sit and enjoy 'freedom' in the land of plenty),
a state composed of the comprador and bureaucratic bourgeoisie and
feudal landlords, is a adequate testimony to your siding with the forces
of bourgeois reaction and fascism.
If you think that parasites like yourselves, while sitting in an
imperialist country that savages and loots the third-world (while
bribing people like you with a portion of the loot) gives only people
like you, the SOLE right to use computers, you are gravely mistaken. As
we enter the next century, People's wars in the Maoist model will
increasingly break out in the poor countries all of which will be like
giant hammer blows on the death grip that imperialism presently holds on
the vast masses of the poor and deprived humanity. And, we at MDP, will
continuously try to document these efforts of the peasantry and
proletariart as they try to break out of their chains of slavery.
Whether you like it or not.

Down with murderous Naxalite commie creeps!!

Long Live Freedom and Democracy!!

Maoist_Crap under the mask of a feudal entity. Whoever is hiding behind
that facade, please answer the followings:
(i) How many people died because they were forced to join the Long
March by Mao's feudal facist army?? According to some Chinese friends
the number is in millions..All those fancy literature about Long
March is nothing but a hogwash trying to obscure the obsessive
tendencies of a feudal mind who wanted to be the next dictator
(read King) of China.
(ii) Mao's collectivization program started in around 1959 (pardon
me if date is little off). People were forced to give up even
their personal cooking utensils and were forced to join in community
dining!!! The Chinese famine followed it from 1960-63!! Atleast
30 million Chinese died and Chairman Mao's Govt. was cleanly
responsible for it! Come clean and tell us the truth!! To divert
the attention from Chinese famine, Communist China invaded
a friendly country India in 1962. Before that, they also fought wars
with their initial backers, the Communist Soviet Union.
(iii) In 1955 Chairman Mao's Red Army invaded Tibet. Since then,
millions of Tibetans had been killed, jailed, or are in exile
and their Buddhist monasteries are destroyed. Mao's Red China
claimed it was liberating a nation. Alas what an oxymoron that
can be!!!
(iv) Chairman Mao's and his Gang of Five's Cultural Revolution
killed, jailed, maimed millions and destroyed several millions
more families. They destroyed all that had to do with Chinese and
Tibetan culture including Buddhist monasteries and temples.
Even books on Lao Tse & Confucius were burned and banned..talk
about lynching the reactionaries, Idiot!! Today's books on Taoism
and other Chinese contribution to the world of Philosophy come
down straight from those Chinese Masters who could memorize
them and remember them straight of their head. Today's Chinese
students are mostly ignorant of Chinese philosophies and learn
a piecemeal of history that is tuned to the will of the commie
feudal lords of Mao's psychopants.
(v) Mao's speech on "Let a thousand flowers bloom" indicating to the
Chinese masses that more babies they can have, the more communists
are born in China..this skyrocketted Chinese population in just 3
decades to such an effect that it is affecting the whole global
population explosion, plus led to the reverse case of a brutal
regime of forced population control in place now.
(vi) What is Mao's philosophy on Environmental Concerns?? Mao's
China happily blown whole mountains in order to conduct underground
nuclear tests (all 43 in whole) in Tibet while inner China is still
grinding under ruthless proverty!!
In my University days I made quite a few Chinese friends and still
remember the tears in the Chinese friends eyes who mostly were at
Beijing in 1989. Their tales of what their parents faced during
Chinese Cultural revolution were more gruesome. One of them had one
of their parents send off to a labor camp for life when the commie
party functionary found a picture frame of Chairman Mao tilted!
It was interesting to talk to one of them, who informed me of a new
approach in the way the professors at Beijing University are evaluating
Mao Zedong today! Yes as a feudal fascist one incase of you're
still wondering Mr. Moron!
How dare you Sir, bullshit us with your Maoist models and people
wars?? How dare you call Mr. Mitra "parasite..and rest of your
blah blah invectives when you are just a mere propaganda machine
for one of the greatest mass murderes and feudal gentry in human history!!
Before I ask you to close your documentation project and stick
it up your tight Maoist ass, Mr. Idiot, let me warn you Sir, this is
no small village in some god forsaken country land where information can
hardly reach and it is easy to brainwash and manipulate those country
folks. In today's technological World, it is very hard to brainwash people
who read and has access to information from diverse sources. For those
who are still thinking what I'm talking about, get a glimpse of this Mao's
gruesome Red China's legacy at the following websites:
http://www.cnd.org/HYPLAN/yawei/june4th/
http://www.cnd.org/June4th/
I hope the causes of the many who died at the hands of this mass feudal
murderer and still dying or suffering endlessly at the scourge of his
communist legacy did not go in vain!!
Fuck Off Mr. Maoist_Crap! If you're wondering what F.U.C.K means!
It is an abbreviation for "Fornicated Under the Command of the King"
You Sir, can replace the word "King" with "Chairman Mao" if that suits
you.
Sorry no regards for a propaganda machine of a feudal commie mass
murderer.

Haha... no wonder you're a Maoist, you can't fuckin READ ;)
What I said, you MORON, is who knew you IDIOTS knew HOW to use a
computer!?!?
To reiterate, the doubt expressed was not about your RIGHT to use
computers but your ABILITY (after all, all said and done, you are a dumb
Maoist after all) ;-)
Peace, Mr. Mao.

comical relief. Let's appreciate this gift :)

------------------snipped------------------------------ Mao's commie govt.
successfully suppressed any information about the Chinese famine for a
longtime. It was left to economists like Amartya Sen to deduce the occurrance
of a devastating famine following his forced collectivization program before
horrific details started coming out. While the poor people were starving to
death here's what our proleteriat was doing: Engaging its Red Amry to fight
wars with India in 1962. China blasted its first nuke at 1964. And followed
it from '65 was the infamous cultural revolution which was to stamp out any
voice of opposition to Mao's dictatorial regime. Now all of these cannot be
just coincident but a pathetic attempt by the mass murderer to coverup the
famine of '60-'63 which wiped out 10% of then China's populace.

But the horrific crimes committed since the killing of the innocent Romanov kids by the Bolsheviks,
different versions of totalitarianism
in the forms of Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, PolPotism et al
had annihilated and brought upon misery and silence to millions.
The blatant abrogation of human rights and freedom by such an entity
claiming to be the voice of the people and proleteriat smacks the
biggest hypocrisy that human civilization had ever seen. To think
that Naxals from Bengal were so utterly naive to be taken in
by such a propaganda machine that we still have people like Mr.
Maoist_Crap around. Unfortunately this cannot be a matter of comic
relief, albeit however much may I try, the voice of millions
that died due to this tyranny will continue to cry in our ears.

or naxalite ?

CM is already down, the Congress made sure of that real quick.
The question is, did he really harm the country as much as the

Yes, long live freedom and democracy for 10% of the population,
and long live poverty and exploitation of the remaining 90%
( they are anti-Indian, anyway ).
