two Countries the representatives of various wrong
trends had been creating many hurdles against
Marxism-Leninism. These forces did not stop
attacking Marxism even after the establishment of
proletarian state under the Communist party’s
leadership. They acted like the agents of capitalists
and imperialists under the guise of Marxism. So even
though they appeared under different names, the
struggle went principally between two lines. But how
did these forces again grew strong and gained an
upper hand after the death of Stalin in Russia and
Mao in China? Why the cadre and the people who
were steeled in such a protracted struggle are
allowing their dominance? There are many such
questions. But even then these capitalist traitors can’t
wipe out these great revolutionary milestones.
Human evolution and human society has a long
history, about 10 lakh years. The Russian communist
revolution is 100 years old and Chinese revolution is
just 70 years old. Compared to the millions of miles
human race has traveled, the distance the Russian
and Chinese people have travelled are only a very
few miles and in the 10 lakh years of mankind the
Russian and Chinese revolutions are of just 100
years age. So everything is not lost. The revisionists
and capitalists may temporarily def eat the
revolutionaries and Communist fighters, may keep
them aside for the time being, but they never gain a
complete upper hand. While speaking about the
revisionists Lenin stated a Russian adage “Some-
times eagles may fly low but hen will never soar to
eagle’s height in its life time”. So the domi-nance of
revisionist won’t go for long.
Today we may not have experienced leaders of
the Stalin and Mao’s era. But this situation won’t
prevail longer. The history of mankind is history of
class struggles. Class struggles have not yet come
to an end. They continue as long as imperialist,
capitalist, feudal and semi-feudal oppression
continues. The resistance struggles, resistance
wars and armed struggles would continue as long
as there is oppression. The revolutionary cadre and
leaders are made from these class struggles and
people’s revolutions. Even Stalin and Mao are the
products of such class struggles and people’s
revolutionary movements. They steeled themselves
in these struggles.
Today the Imperialists, Bourgeoisie and Feudal
classes cannot deprive the Communists from this
opportunity. Even though leaders like Mao are not
there, they will soon be born and get steeled in the
ongoing class struggles and will lead the great task
of building a tomb to the oppressive systems.

3. Indian Communist Revolutionary Movement
Marxism spread into many countries with the
impact of October Revolution. It also has its impact
on India. The Indian communist movement has faced
many political, ideological, organizational and
practical issues and faced many ups and downs,
victories and defeats and betrayals. It is now 90 years
old.
The communist party worked with the aim of
putting and to colonial rule and achieving national
independence and socialism. The British rulers
wanted to contain the spread of Marxism in India and
unleashed severe repression. It foisted Peshawar,
Lahore, Meerut and Kanpur conspiracy cases and
arrested the founders of communist part y. There
were country-wide strikes by the proletariat in
Bombay, Kanpur, and Calcutta and so on.
During the 1035-45 period, there was an upsurge
of peasant struggles in Bihar, Bengal, UP, Telangana,
Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala and Madras. There were
adivasi struggle in Worli of Maharashtra, peasant
struggles in Punnapra-Vayalar of Kerala (1943),
Tebhaga in Bengal (1946), Mymensingh (now in
Bangla Desh) and Ahmedhnagar in Maharashtra. The
armed resistance of peasants of Telangana led by
the communist party against Nizam and feudal lords
has reached the stage of guerrilla struggle. The feudal
lords fled from the area.
Telangana Peasant Armed Struggle.
In April, 1948, the leadership of party prepared a
thesis and kept before the Central Committee. This
is called the Andhra Thesis. “It defined our system
as comprador bourgeoisie and feudal system. It
defined the strategy of the revolution as establishing
unity among workers and peasants under the
leadership of the proletariat and taking along the
national bourgeoisie on its side; establishing a front
with labor, poor peasants, middle class and rich
peasants at the village level; building an agrarian
revolutionary movement along a revolutionary mass
line and the revolution will advance while liberating
the villages and building liberated areas”.
Telangana peasant armed struggle was the
struggle for independence, for abolishing the rule by
Nizam and for liberation from the oppression of feudal
lords. Communist party led this struggle. The
peasants occupied 10 lakh acres of land in three
thousand villages. Nearly 4000 people laid their lives
in this struggle.
The Indian ruling classes were and are still in
favour of protecting the feudal lords. Hence they did
not join hands with the movement led by the
