Anniversary of the martyrdom of
Com. Charu Mazumdar. CM, as he was fondly known, inspired an entire generation
and forged a new path for the Indian people. Since, Indian politics has never
been the same. With Naxalbari and the politics of the seizure of power by armed
force, it was for the first time in the history of the country that politics got
polarized into two clear-cut camps — that of the reactionaries and the
revolutionaries. Decades of revisionist obfuscation were swept away and a
generation of dedicated revolutionaries was born, without any stake in the
present rotten order.
The sparks of
Naxalbari have now spread into a prairie fire in many parts of the country — in
the plains and forests of AP, Dandakaranya, Bihar, Jarkhand, with seeds of
people’s war planted in West Bengal, Karnataka and many other states of the
country. More important the revolutionary forces of the country are gradually
merging into a single revolutionary Party — the dream of CM, who not only led
the Naxalbari struggle but also founded a revolutionary party, the CPI(ML) is
becoming reality once again. This, together with that of the MCCI, has seen a
glorious 3-decade history of struggle and sacrifice. Though revisionists of
varied hews sought to divert the revolution from the path of people’s war the
CPI(ML)(PW) and the MCCI have emerged in the forefront to build the Maoist
movement in the country. For this great task hundreds of lives have been
sacrificed. On this solemn occasion we remember their dedication to the cause of
revolution.
