Volume 4, No. 8, August 2003

May 23, the historic Naxalbari day again comes before us. The path of Naxalbari’s protracted peoples’ war is steadily advancing in many countries of South Asia. The Nepal revolutionary movement has now entered its strategic offensive phase and is preparing the masses for further advancement to win the war by overthrowing the monarchy of Nepal. Whereas in India, however, the struggle is still in the strategically defensive phase. The MCCI and the CPI (ML)(PW) are establishing Revolutionary People’s Committees in their guerrilla zones and guerrilla bases, in a vast area of Andhra Pradesh, Dandakaranyam, Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa. These are executing the role of an embryonic form of New Democratic rule. The other countries of South Asia too are gradually trying to consolidate their achievements.

CCOMPOSA a forum of South Asian Communist revolutionaries is steadily consolidating and trying to develop mass movements against the common enemy, i.e. Indian Expansionism, the world imperialist system, particularly US imperialism, the No. 1 enemy of the world people; and to overthrow the existing system in the countries of South Asia. After the formation of the CCOMPOSA unity among the struggling forces of South Asia further increased. Ideological and Political unity, a common understanding on day to day issues, and unified struggles of the masses for a socialist cause are improving amongst the revolutionary camp in South Asia. On this historic May 23, we, the members of CCOMPOSA appeal to the people of South Asia in particular, and the people of the world in general, to advance the struggle against feudalism and imperialism to overthrow the existing system itself.

Today Revisionism is the main danger in the arena of world proletariat Movement, where a consistent fight against it is needed, and upholding Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is the only weapon in the hands of the masses. So, on this historic day once again we are pledging to advance the struggle in every country of South Asia. Everyday a number of heroic fighters are sacrificing their lives in the resistance struggle against the rulers of these respective countries. We pay Red Homage to the known and unknown martyrs of the Naxalbari path in South Asia. And to fulfill the dreams of the martyrs we will fight till the end.

Today the world situation is changing rapidly. US imperialism attacked Afghanistan and has now committed a war of aggression on Iraq and has seized that country. Day in and day out it has been attacking this country or that country on one pretext or the other. It compels the rulers of various countries of the world to accept its supremacy and to support its war policy to conquer the world. Sovereignty of the country, interests of the people, self-respect of the countrymen, parliamentary institutions of the country are all surrendered to the interests of American imperialism. But the people of the world are constantly protesting against the war of aggression by the US and UK, in various forms. After a gap of three decades people took to the streets in their millions, particularly in the capitalist countries, in support of world peace and against war.

In this Sub-Continent, US imperialism is intervening very much. Already it is dictating to the Musharaf and Vajpayee govts. And it has now entered into Nepal to curb the movements led by the CPN (M). On this historic day it is the duty for us to advance the struggle against the US, which is increasingly getting involved in the affairs of our own countries. The rulers have already mortgaged our people’s lives to imperialist exploitation and intervention. So, now we have to fight with iron determination, along the path of Naxalbari, to seize political power through the barrel of a gun. It is high time for us to intensify the mass struggles and to consolidate the Party, Army, and UF in all the countries of South Asia.

Naxalbari is the only path to follow and win state power.
