In line with imperialism’s so-called “development model” based on destruction, dispossession, and annihilation, its real aim is to pave the way for multinational corporations to plunder mineral resources. To achieve this, the Indian expansionist state seeks to crush all resistance by the Adivasi people of Bastar, who are fighting to defend their land, forests, and water. In this context, the Communist Party of India (Maoist) has emerged both as the principal obstacle before the Indian state and as the only genuine alternative for the oppressed classes, nationalities, and peoples of India— the sole embodiment of their aspirations. By destroying the Party, the revolution, and the people’s struggle, the Indian state aims to serve the interests of its imperialist masters, primarily U. S. imperialism. Thus, the Indian state— an enemy of all the peoples of South Asia— is not only attacking the people of India but also striking at the global proletarian revolution. In response to this challenge posed by the expansionist Indian state and fascist Modi, the International Committee to Support the People’s War in India (ICSPWI) has issued a global call for action on March 28, 2026. We, the People's Democratic Students Unity, express our solidarity with this call, extend our support to the Communist Party of India (Maoist), the ongoing people’s war under its leadership, and the fighting masses, and pay our respect to all martyred revolutionaries.
Since January 2024, through “Operation Kagar,” the Indian state has effectively declared war against the very people of that land. Under this campaign, thousands of military, paramilitary, and mercenary forces have been deployed across central India to suppress popular resistance. As part of this effort, oppressed Adivasi communities living in forested and hilly regions are being encircled by military camps equipped with hundreds of weapons manufactured by Zionist Israel. Over the past two years, nearly seven hundred Maoist revolutionaries and Adivasi people have been killed extrajudicially. Thousands more have been subjected to false charges, arrests, enforced disappearances, and state repression. Recently, during the anti-imperialist week of March 21–28, 2026 in Delhi, the illegal abduction and torture of ten activists and organizers from various mass organizations further demonstrates that such acts are integral to the broader plan of “Maoist elimination.” On the one hand, the Indian state is carrying out massacres in Bastar without regard for international law or norms of warfare; on the other, it is suppressing voices in urban areas that speak out for people’s rights. For years, it has stripped religious minorities— especially Muslims— and Dalits of their democratic rights, subjecting them to severe oppression and violence. It is also pursuing expansionist aggression against neighboring countries, including Bangladesh. The Indian state supports the genocide carried out in Gaza by Zionist Israel— backed by U. S. imperialism— and Israel, in turn, supports all acts of repression carried out by the Indian state. While spreading fear of state terror across the country, the Indian state ironically claims that “Maoists are the biggest internal threat to India.” This is the true character of the so-called “world’s largest democracy.”
