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. November - 2017 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 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”.
