COMMUNIST
A Revolutionary English-Language Magazine Published by the
Western Ghats Special Zonal Committee [WGSZC] of the CPI (Maoist)
The Western Ghats is a major mountain range which parallels the western coast of India. In February 2013 the CPI (Maoist) set up a new area of operations in the Tri-junction area of the Western Ghats where the states of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu meet. In May 2017 the WGSZC began publishing a new English-language journal called the Communist. Since there is no freedom of speech for the CPI(Maoist) and other proscribed political organizations, this journal is banned and is illegal in India.
The mission of BANNEDTHOUGHT.NET is
to struggle against the suppression of ideas anywhere in the world, and to try to make available
documents and publications which are being suppressed. For this reason we will post the issues
of the “Communist” here as we obtain them.
This magazine is in PDF format, and the most recent issues are listed first.

— NOTICE —Due to the repressive legislation and judicial decisions in the United States, we at BANNEDTHOUGHT.NET want to make it completely clear that we do not have any connection whatsoever with the Communist Party of India (Maoist), or with any other party in India or any other country for that matter. We do not aid, promote, assist, support, coordinate with, or provide any sort of services or advice to the CPI(Maoist) or to any other party. However, we do support the right of free speech, and the right of the people in both India and internationally to read the views and publications of this and all other parties and organizations. For this reason we do object to the suppression of the views and ideas put forward by the CPI(Maoist) by the undemocratic central and state governments of India. And for this reason alone we are making copies of many CPI(Maoist) documents available on this site, documents which the authorities in India wish to suppress and keep from the people. Also, we ask visitors to this site to please don’t ask us to try to contact the CPI(Maoist) for them. We have no way of doing that. Thank you. |
