A
Call to participate in the ‘Freedom Struggle’ against Brahminical Fascism and
Re-colonization Process!
The
present times are periods of great crisis for national sovereignties. The
country which belongs to all of us has been under attack from multinational
corporate. In all the sphere of education, economics, politics, family, we are
no longer the one to decide our own future. Since the history of “transfer of
power” this country has adopted pro-cpaitalist economic policies, which were
further accelerated after the 1990’s. The new Mantra of Liberalization-Privatization-Globalization
has blinded the political leadership across the parties. The Neo-liberal order
has its aim in destroying the public institutions whether it is student unions
in the educational institutions, working class unions, peasant movements, or
public distribution systems for the safeguards of poor. Multinational
corporations flourished on the patronage of Indian state. Inspite of being able to produce wheat, rice,
sugarcane, metal, oil, technologies we were forced to import. We have become
‘slaves’ in our country, the neo-liberal inventions e.g. SEZ are testimony to
this.
These times remind us the “real freedom movements”
led by the revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru, Chandrasekhar,
Jatin, Asfaqullah etc. during 1920-30’s. They all fought for the reconstruction
of society on socialist and egalitarian lines where “no man exploits another
man”. They fought for the creation of a caste-less, class-less, non-communal
society. These revolutionaries were not just passionate, romantic heroes but
they also read and followed Marxist-Leninist writings on communism. Those were
the times when Lenin marched the world with the victory of Bolsheviks. Indian
revolutionaries were fighting against the colonial rule but were also deeply
sensitive to the inequalities of caste, class, sex and religion prevalent in
those times as they are today. It is these revolutionaries who gave us the
slogan of “INQUILAB ZINDABAD”. The so-called ‘Bapus’ and ‘Mahatmas’ of this
country, then, betrayed their own countrymen and called the struggle and
sacrifice of these revolutionaries as ‘waste of energies’. Similarly, in
Telangana movement in 1940’s and the Naxalbari movement in 1960’s radicalized
the call for armed revolution. They sacrificed their lives while fighting for
the cause of an egalitarian society which was betrayed by the ruling castes and
classes of this country. Thus, in today’s times it becomes moral responsibility
for us to uphold those principles for which our revolutionaries sacrificed
their lives. In this scenario, let’s understand and resist the politics of
global imperial forces that are enslaving our country again.
Take a closer look at what is happening around the
world. People of Iraq are being enslaved and tortured in their own country; the
Kashmiris are murdered for raising their demand of self-determination.
Similarly, the Eelam people are caged inside barbed fences; the North east nationalities
are oppressed– they have become refugees in their own motherland. Our
nation’s wealth is being plundered without any restriction by large
multinational corporations from imperialistic countries like the US, and their
comprador bourgeois Indian partners like the Ambani’s, Adani’s, Mittal’s and
Tata’s. But when it comes to providing basic amenities to its own citizens like
education, healthcare, drinking water etc. the government says it does not have
enough money in its budget. World Bank issues orders to our government to cut
down the money spent for the welfare of the people– our government heeds to
such orders without a word and cuts down its expenses on education,
agriculture, small industries, petrol, diesel, gas etc. We
have lost our right to free education – who is responsible for that? It is our
government which, instead of considering education as a basic and necessary
service to be offered to its citizens, declares it as a commodity and allows
private players to exploit. The state educational institutions, where poor are
getting educated, are deliberately undermined. Private educational institutions,
which are nothing but robbers’ dens, proliferate and thrive. Birla & Ambani
report guides this government, it has created a number of thugs in the field of
education like the business schools, managemet schools, IIPM, Lovely
University, Azim Premji University, Amity University, etc. These bandits have
developed themselves as mini-comprador bourgeois. As if these are not enough,
foreign universities are also allowed into the country to loot their share.
This does not stop with education; whatever wealth
our nation possesses, every piece of it is being targeted by multinational
corporations. For instance, Coal, is one of our primary sources of energy for
producing electricity, iron & steel etc. Industries will come to a
standstill without electricity or iron. Our coal reserves would
not last even for 40 more years. The multinational corporations and their
comprador Indian partners are mining immeasurable amount of coal and exporting
them. Recently we have also come to know about the Coalgate scandal which is
estimated to be worth more than 10 lakh crores. It is this treacherous
government which has paved way for destroying the very source of life of this
nation.
Similarly, Nokia, which started business in India
with a capital of just Rs. 1500 crores has taken home profits worth Rs. 40,000
crores. This profit is a result of sucking of blood and sweat out of our poor
labourers. But this is what is being falsely projected by our ruling class as ‘development’,
‘good governance’, ‘becoming superpower’ etc. Majority of the people in this
nation are starving; whereas a small gang of multinational and local corporate
mafia are amassing wealth by plundering this nation’s riches – this being the case,
how is it possible to accept the story of development? Gujarat government has
converted that state as a hunting ground for multinational corporations by
keeping its door ever-open for them to enter anytime with ease; the state has
enacted a number of fascist laws to unleash repression upon people to prevent
them from carrying out any struggle against such a brutal day-light robbery –
can we describe this as ‘good governance’ by Modi?
Can we allow such plunders that demolishes the very
base of this nation? Poor Dalits, backward castes, landless laborers, poor
women and minorities etc. are directly impacted by this. It is them, who have
lost their livelihood because of this, are carrying-out heroic struggles in
many parts of this country. The farmers of Nandigram faced police bullets for
carrying-out struggle against giving away well-yielding agricultural farmlands
to multinational car company; the fishermen of Tuticorin district in the other
corner of this country are also facing state’s oppression for carrying out
struggle against the illegal sand mining. Also the continuous resistance
through Anti-POSCO struggles, Kudankulam agitation. But, this government is
terribly oppressing farmers, labourers, fishermen and tribal people who are
fighting against such barbaric loot; it is unleashing police and armed forces
to torture and kill them. Adivasis in Chattisgarh are carrying out struggle to
protect the natural resources – but the government has unleashed full-fledged
civil war named as ‘Operation Green hunt’ to suppress their struggle. The duty
of our government is that of a hitman – to oppress our people in order to
facilitate the superpowers like the US to get hold our nation’s wealth. If we
look a bit carefully, we can understand the conspiracy of Indian government.
Only scenes have changed – but the slavery exists as it is. Those times, it was
Governor-General; today it is Prime Minister. Those times the skin was white;
today it is multicoloured. The skin colour of the ruling class has changed –
but the slavery has not!
If we

Only scenes have changed – but the slavery exists as it is. Those times, it was
Governor-General; today it is Prime Minister. Those times the skin was white;
today it is multicoloured. The skin colour of the ruling class has changed –
but the slavery has not! Those days, the English needed guns, bullets and a
number of battles to capture our country. Today just a pen, ink, and couple of
agreements are enough! Indian government is enslaving our nation again i.e., it
is re-colonising our nation by blindly signing agreements like GATT and GATS;
all these agreements are thrown upon us by the usuries of the US, namely the
World Bank and the IMF, and its lackey, the WTO. Wanting to keep India as one
of its loyal and best henchman in the South Asian region, the US has thrust
upon India a number of military and nuclear agreements (123 is just an example
which is in the field of nuclear co-operation); by doing so, the US has
snatched away even that last bit of sovereignty that our nation had.
Dear
friend, our nation is being enslaved invisibly through a number of “agreements
and treaties” – this new state of slavery is represented by the term
‘Recolonization’. Recolonization is much more brutal than colonization. Just
think about this – the natural wealth created over millions of years is being
destroyed by multi-national corporations. Our hard work is being sucked away by
multinational corporations with absolutely no use for our nation or our people.
It does not stop with just natural resources –
about 5 lakh crores of tax payers’ money has been given away to multinational
corporations as subsidies and tax concessions by our government. It is
not just the Congress & BJP, but all vote-bank political parties, without
any exception, have whole-heartedly accepted the re-colonization policies of
Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization (LPG). Our vote-bank political
parties and politicians are the agents who are mortgaging our nation to the
imperial forces.
Is it
appropriate in any sense to allow them to rule us? The multinational
corporations dictate who needs to become a prime minister in this nation and
who all needs to become MPs and MLAs. When such people, who are identified by
Corporates, are sitting in parliament and assemblies, how will our problems get
addressed? It is IMPOSSIBLE. The youth, labourers and other people from the
working class should get away from this vote-bank politics, form an
association, and start preparing themselves for another liberation struggle.
Honour
is to fight for liberation. We, the students should fight like Bhagat Singh and
many likes him against global imperialism. Let us arouse our people. Let us
ignite another freedom struggle. Let us tear into pieces the enslaving
agreements like the GATT and GATS. Let us defeat the process of re-colonization.
Let us liberate our nation from the clutches of multinational corporations,
their partners and their stooges. Let us become a morning-star to the whole
world.
Come -
let us carryout another freedom struggle!
Let us
stop our country from being enslaved again!
Let us
rescue our country from hands of the traitors!
