RED
SALUTES TO COMRADE KANU SANYAL – THE VOICE OF INDIAN RRVOLUTION.
We
are paying our revolutionary homage to our beloved leader Comrade
Kanu Sanyal who left us five years back. His remembrance inspire us
to persist in the mass line. In his 81 years of fruitful life,
Comrade KS dedicated nearly 60 years to the communist movement. Since
he was arrested for the first time in 1948, he spent 14 years in jail
and many more years in underground life. Com. KS along with his
comrades in arms made consistent effort to build peasant and workers
movement in Darjeeling district implementing mass line and opposing
right and left deviation. The result was the Naxalbari Peasant
Uprising in 1967 that took the Indian society by storm.
The
Indian ruling classes had brutally suppressed the Naxalbari and
Srikakulam peoples movements, killing many leaders and activists of
the movement and Adivasi people. The left sectarianism that raised
its head in these movements became a hurdle for these movement to
withstand the onslaught by the ruling classes. Neither the setback in
the movement nor long years of prison life had mellowed down the
revolutionary spirit of Com. KS. He waged relentless struggle against
the left and right oppotunist trends while inside the jail as well as
after coming out of it.
Comrades
Devulapalli Venkateswara Rao, Tarimela Nagi Reddy, Chandra Pulla
Reddy and Kola Venkaiah were in the forfront of the ideological and
political struggle against revisionism, left and right
deviations in the communist movement. By the 1970, ideological
struggle against the adventurist line of CPI(ML) led by Com. Charu
Mazumdar had begun both inside and outside the party. Com. KS took
the mantle of this ideological struggle. The bitter experiences of
left adventurist line and his talk with the leadership of Communist
Party of China had sharpend this struggle.
Com.KS
continued to have direct relations with adivasi peasants and tea
garden workers of Darjeeling district while making all India level
efforts to bring communist revolutionaries into a united single
organization. As a result of these efforts, our CPI(ML) was formed in
2005 with Com.KS as its General Secretary. This CPI(ML) is the
continuation of the 90 years old communist movement in India and it
was not the re-formation or continuation of CPI(ML) of 1967. Under
the able leadership of Com.KS, the CPI(ML) took up the task of
evaluating the history of the period from 1967 to 1972. It concluded
that the left sectarianism that raised its head during this period
was against the tenets of Marxism-Leninism and Mao's Thought and had
caused serious harm to the revolutionary movement in India. Comrade
KS played his leading role to arrive at this conclusion unanimously by
the organization and including it in the forward to the Constituion
of the Party during the deliberation of the Central Committee meeting
held in 2010, just two months before his death.
Basing
on the documents of the CPI(ML) – the Programme, Path and
Constitution – we are continuing our efforts to build class
struggles and class organizations of people and to achieve unity of
the communist revolutionaries. This resulted in the Unity of CPI(ML)
and CPI(ML) central organ Janasakthi in 2013. During these 5 years we
lost many of our senior comrades – Asit Sinha, Shabbar Hussain,
Surendrer Sing Katiyar, Uma Shankar Sing and Manam Rama Rao – whose
sharp class outlook and experience we regard as a treasure trove. We
are moving forward with the inspiration of the values these comrads
have upheld during their life time.
Today
the rulingclasses in India are surrendering every interest of the
people to the imperialist finance capital and Indian comprador
Bourgeoise. With the BJP coming to the power at the centre, this
process picked more momentum. As a result the people are facing many
problems – no end to the unemployment, no means to decent
livelihood, rising price due to more profits to monopoly capital,
eviction of peasants from their lands through economic levers as well
as the brutal force, trapling of rights of Adovasis, Dalits, women
and Minorities.Added to this the unbridled and unabashed promotion of
communalism by the ruling elite is tearing the delicate fabric of
communal harmony weaved by the toiling masses. Any opposition to
these policies are being suppressed with iron heel , while at the
same time using language, caste, region and religion to divide the
people by raking up hatreds among the people. It is the duty of the
communist revolutionaries to lead the people in their struggle
against the exploitition and oppression by the ruling classes and
make them conscious of the necessity for overthrowing this system and
build a new democratic social system. The life of Com. KS always
guides us in our endeavor to organize the people into struggles.
LET
US REDEDICATE TO UPHOLD MASS LINE.
WE
WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER COMRADE KANU SANYAL AS OUR GUIDE.
