Genocidal education in India
By Adolfo Naya*
For years, we have been denouncing the genocidal Operation Green Hunt and its strategy of “Hearts and Minds” to carry out genocidal policies and practices against the Naxalite movement, Dalits, Adivasis and religious minorities.
On 24 November 2021 we denounced and condemned in many parts of the world the continuation of the genocidal Operation Green Hunt, now called Operation Prahar-3, as a new and brutal offensive of the Hindu regime to stifle the revolution in India with its well-known genocidal practices: killings, torture, cold-blooded assassinations of leaders, so-called “fake encounters”, rape and abuse of women, burning of villages, expropriation of land, concentration camps and imprisonment of anyone who dares to denounce the regime’s atrocities.
Within this framework of savage repression, another of the points of this genocidal strategy is that of psychological warfare, where propaganda, lies, intoxication, disinformation, and manipulation play a crucial role.
Recently a document has been released, which we would like to treat with all caution. This security document aims to implant a script against the Naxalite movement in the public school curriculum, with the clear aim of winning the “Hearts and Minds” of the younger population of India and with total manipulation, in order to demoralise and demobilise the Indian youth in a moment when the contradictions are sharpening and more and more people are coming out to protest against the political and economic measures of the fascist and genocidal government of Modi and his puppets in the different states of the country.
A couple of years ago, in Gujarat and Rajasthan, the history book included Hitler as a role model and Modi as the best reference of who was a worthy successor to him, was later withdrawn due to social pressure, but the discourse of legitimisation of genocide continues and in fact, recently the most radical Hindu organisations have called for the extermination of Muslims. The issue has even been debated in the US Congress. In this context of legitimisation of genocide and the Hindu offensive, it’s logical that the government of the fascist and genocidal Modi intends to use it against the only political movement that can really stand up to it, which are the Maoists.
This government document says that the Naxalite movement is on the decline thanks to the government and its counter-insurgency measures, giving a series of totally biased statistics and listing the history of the government’s counter-insurgency measures and the central government’s strategies to counter Naxalism.
So, for example they say in their history of counter-insurgency measures:
– The government between 2004 and 2014 established the building blocks for India’s anti-Maoist response with Counterinsurgency Strategy (COIN).
– The current National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government has accelerated its pace.
– Governments at the Centre have adopted a mix of people-centric and enemy-centric methods to quell the Maoist movement.
– The Indian government has adopted a holistic approach focusing on development and security-related interventions to deal with the problem of the radical left (LWE).
It is also interesting to note the government’s denial of Operation Green Hunt.
Operation Green Hunt
– Operation Green Hunt is the name used by the Indian media to describe the “all-out offensive by paramilitary and state forces” against the Naxals.
– The operation is believed to have begun in November 2009 across five states in the “Red Corridor”.
– The term was coined by Chhattisgarh police officials to describe a successful campaign against the Communist Party of India (Maoist) in the state.
– Subsequently, the media misused the term to describe broader anti-Naxalite operations.
– On the other hand, the Union Government doesn’t use the term Operation Green Hunt to describe its anti-Naxalite offensive.
It is quite remarkable that the government claims that the name “Operation” was misused by the (bourgeois) media. This text would show that the campaigns in India and around the world against the genocidal Operation Green Hunt were so important that the government itself is not interested that people talk about it, denying the brutal repression and genocidal practices applied in this operation.
The document continues in the same vein, full of lies and misinformation, and finally, as if it were an exam or schoolwork, the last section appears as follows:
Shape your thinking: Why has the Naxalite movement in India declined? What has been the Indian government’s strategy to counter Left-wing extremism?
Getting closer to the answer:
– Introduction
– Indicate the statistics on the decline of the Naxalite movement in India.
– Mention the reasons for the downward trend.
– Discuss the strategy used by the Union government.
– Mention the different components of the strategy
– Conclusion
This seems like a ghoulish joke, but this document is part of the strategy “Hearts and Minds” to exterminate the revolutionary movement. Therefore, against the lies, intoxication, and manipulation of the fascist and genocidal Modi government, it’s more necessary than ever to fight tooth and nail against the new genocidal Operation “Prahar-3” and to show our full support and solidarity with the People’s War and the CPI(Maoist).

Last 22th january Bandh in Mulugu District against the killing of three cadres of CPI (Maoist)
The CPI (Maoist) division committee had called for a bandh in Mulugu district on January 22 in protest against what it described as the killing of three of its cadres in a fake encounter on Kerragutta hillock near the Telangana-Chhattisgarh border on Tuesday.
In a statement issued by the CPI (Maoist) Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Mulugu, Warangal, Peddapalli Division Committee on Wednesday, the Maoist party alleged that the police, based on information given by some informants, surrounded a small group of 10 Maoists and resorted to firing unilaterally on the latter.
Wazeedu-Venkatapuram area committee secretary Shantha, and Yellandu-Narsampeta dalam commander Kommula Naresh were among the three killed.
Remembering Rohith Vemula and his spirit of resistance (Indian Cultural Forum)
Six years ago, Rohith Vemula, a dalit PhD candidate from the University of Hyderabad died by suicide after he was denied fellowship and evicted from the hostel. In his last letter, he wrote, “The value of a man was reduced to his immediate identity and nearest possibility. To a vote. To a number. To a thing. Never was a man treated as a mind. As a glorious thing made up of stardust. In every field, in studies, in streets, in politics, and in dying and living.”
Vemula’s death laid bare the discriminatory practices and prejudice against students from dalit and other minority communities in the Indian academia. It also shook the conscience of the entire nation, setting off a chain of events that continue to be relevant for the Dalit movement in the country even today.On his death anniversary, the Indian Cultural Forum remembers Rohith Vemula and his spirit of resistance.

We Have Not Come Here to Die: A Film by Deepa Dhanraj
– Kanika Katyal
Documentary filmmaker Deepa Dhanraj’s We Have Not Come Here to Die, comes as a testimony to the historic moment that galvanized student politics in India and changed caste conversations forever. It was released and screened in university spaces across India. At a time when even the fourth pillar of democracy seemed to have succumbed to the pressures and demands of fascist regimes, students spoke up.
The cultural resistance to Rohith’s institutional murder
– ICF TeamThe systematic and the institutional murder of Vemula not only unearthed the reality in university spaces but also opened the doors to a space for cultural resistance. There was widespread outcry, and, since then, there has arisen a steady resistance across the country. Through their cultural resistance, these groups are successful in mobilising people in breaking the barriers of caste, gender, religion, region in our society.
Translating Rohith Vemula’s Poetry
– ICF TeamAfter Vemula’s death in 2016, the Centre for Translations at St. Stephen’s College, Delhi University, organised a translation workshop titled ‘Know in your Language, Communicate in your Voice: Translating the Works of Rohith Vemula’ where twenty-nine participants, who spoke thirteen languages — Hindi, Punjabi, Kannada, Malayalam, Assamese, Bengali, Telugu, Kashmiri, Urdu, Odiya, Tamil, Nepali and French — translated Vemula’s poetry.

印度共产党(毛主义)
中央委员会
新闻稿
2021年12月18日
向中央委员烈士钦坦达同志致以红色敬礼!
印度共产党（毛主义）中央委员纳伦德拉·辛（Narendra Sinh）同志（钦坦达·阿育达）于2020 年1月6日在镇上的一家医院去世。他长期患病，从2018年开始昏迷，享年74岁。他出生在比哈尔邦东占巴兰区Kesaria警局辖区一个村子里的一个中农家庭。他有一个姐妹。他在村里接受了小学教育。他的家人搬到德里，在那里他在贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁大学接受了高等教育。他的博士学位研究的是生活在喜马拉雅山脉比哈尔-尼泊尔特莱的塔鲁部落人。他没有结婚。
获得高学历后，他不想从事任何工作。他为被压迫人民工作以建立一个没有剥削的社会。在他接受教育期间，他被马列毛主义所吸引。他详细地研究了它。完成学业后，他开始在德里的工人中工作。他是德里总工会的创始人之一。他把工人组织在这个旗帜下。在此期间，1998-99年，他与毛主义共产主义中心(MCC)的成员接触。他开始组织农村农民，成为毛共中心的积极分子。在他的研究中，他看到了西查姆帕兰的塔鲁和乌拉翁部落、达利特人和无地农民的可怕处境，并被深深地震撼了。众所周知，西查姆帕兰的农民不仅要面对封建制度，还要面对土匪（dacoits）。该地区的人民处于恐惧和绝望之中。
他一到该地区就开设了四所名为“Jan Shiksha Kendr”（人民教育中心）的学校，并开始向达利特人和部落儿童传授教育。除了正规教育，人民教育中心还提供有关社会变革的教育。一些学生成为阶级斗争的一部分。
当时革命工作是以建立根据地为目标进行的。他努力在这个地区的人民中开展革命运动。他发展了群众基础，组建了农民革命委员会（Krantikari Kisan Committee ）和游击队。在他从事革命工作的最初几天里，发生了一件事情。土匪袭击了 Sundarpur 学校附近少数族裔的房子。袭击发生时，这家的男人正在外面工作，两个女孩和母亲都在那里。这些土匪企图性侵犯。女人们一看见土匪就大声喊叫起来。阿育达同志一听，就拿起一根棍子，同他的学生和在场的人一起去了那里。他大声叫他们停下来。在那种气氛中，一个红色士兵强有力的声音和村民的反抗，使土匪们吓得跑了。当天晚上，他就把家人带来了，并在学校里住了许多天。这一事件成为人民组织和斗争的焦点。西查姆帕兰的这片森林地区发展成了游击区。地主的土地和武器被没收，森林得到保护，土匪被赶走，袭击了警察，还从他们手中夺走了营地和武器。人民停止了地主和政府对森林的砍伐，并保护它们。他们赶走了土匪。他们对警察和警察营地进行了游击战，而警察和警察营地也一直在对人民进行攻击。
当毛共中心北比哈尔委员会成立时，钦坦达同志成为其中的一员，当3U（北比哈尔邦-北方邦-北阿坎德邦）特别地区委员会成立时，他被选为委员会成员。2004年，当印度毛主义共产主义中心和印共（马列）人民战争合并组成印共（毛主义）时，他成为统一党中央委员会的成员，随后成为其北部地区局 (NRB) 的一员。随着NRB的损失和解散，钦坦达同志继续担任中央委员直到他的最后一口气。
钦坦达同志不仅是正规教育的好老师，也是马克思主义的好老师。他承担了教育党的干部的责任。他向斗争领域的干部讲授马克思主义哲学、马克思主义经济学和政治学。他的教学方法简单而自然。他用简单的方式解释复杂的事情。他将马克思主义运用于实践，并通过实例加以说明。他精通英语和印地语，还教这两种语言的语法。
钦坦达同志被捕过三次，第一次是在2005年在北比哈尔邦，最后一次是在2010年在北方邦的坎普尔。每次他一出狱就被逮捕。他在坎普尔的被捕是非常可怕的。他被折磨。这影响了他的身心。由于警察的严刑拷打，他遭受了三次精神打击。2010年，他失去了一只耳朵。他在监狱里得了骨结核。他有血压，疝气和痔疮。
2014年获释后，他无法承担任何严肃的政治责任。他逐渐失去了对身体和精神的控制。警察监狱的压迫使他的身体恶化。他失去了精神平衡。尽管接受了治疗，他还是无法康复，最终于2020年1月6日告别了世界。我们永远失去了他。
今天，钦坦达同志已经不在我们当中了。但我们有他的记忆，他的理想和他的政治工作。他的牺牲、奉献和勇气继续激励和指引着我们所有人。他的记忆继续让我们感到坚强。这是他辉煌而难忘的回忆。
从坎普尔监狱获释后，他来到比哈尔邦-贾坎德邦边境地区。有一次与准军事人员的相遇。他们在开火和炮击，但钦坦达同志既不害怕也不失望。他身体虚弱，但声音有力。他在战斗中勇敢而英勇地前进。他激起人民解放游击军的战士的热情，向敌人发起进攻。他喊道：“同志们！准军事力量不是狮子。人民解放游击军的战士是活老虎、活的长。朋友们，前进吧，消灭他们。”人民解放游击军的年轻战士在这一鼓舞下迎战敌人，准军事部队不得不后退。
钦坦达同志善于自我批评。当他知道自己做错了，他就毫不犹豫地承认并改正它。他在日常生活中遵守严格的纪律。这种情况在监狱里持续着，直到他失去知觉。精神上的冲击使他丧失了不知疲倦地阅读、写作和说话的能力。他和同志们相处得很好。
关于他一生中的几个引述和经验
- 钦坦达同志出生和成长在一个剥削性的种姓，但他代表被压迫的工人农民和部落、达利特人、落后和劳役种姓的被压迫者。他为革命献出了自己的全部生命。他从未表现出最起码的被压迫种姓的特征。他是一个具有良好特征的共产主义者。
- 他曾在国内著名的教育机构接受过高等教育。他本可以成为任何大学的教授。但他牺牲了便利的生活，成为一名革命的共产主义者。他像一个无产阶级一样为无产阶级服务。他的牺牲和奉献精神是理想的，值得赞扬。
- 他认为，没有什么能阻挡印度新民主革命的实现。他坚定不移地站在武装斗争的舞台上，直到他的最后一口气。
- 职位和金钱的诱惑是革命的敌人。他对这些都有清醒的认识。他甚至牺牲了自己的世袭财产，在党内和人民中像无产者一样生活。他牺牲了自己的房子和家庭，并把他的同志们视为亲属。他在他们中间舍命。在困难中，他接近战友，而不是他的家人。他按照自己的条件和目标生活。他没有向党外的任何人妥协。
- 我们可能不在世了，但世界会改变。革命不一定要在我们有生之年完成。但我们有责任去完成它，其余的工作应由后代人去做。他在一生中都浸透了这一点，并将其贯彻始终。
- 他实现了尼日利亚诗人和戏剧家博莱-肖恩卡的说法。当他在两年后出狱时，肖恩卡对他的监狱生活的影响是这样说的：”你在入狱前相信的东西，在出狱后也相信。但这种信念会更加坚定’。尽管三次被捕并遭受酷刑，但他既没有崩溃，也没有投降，更没有害怕。他认为党的机密性比他的生命更重要。没有一个州报告说，由于他的原因，党有任何损失。获释后，他每次都以坚定的决心参加阶级斗争和人民战争。
- 他的人生特点是：在最困难的条件下也保持对革命和人民的信心；坚定不移地坚持党的官方路线；坚定不移地坚持阶级路线、群众路线和马列毛主义。
钦坦达同志是一位伟大的教师、受欢迎的演讲者、受过教育的学者和不懈的活动家。他的无产阶级性格使他成为一个坚强的共产主义者和坚定的马克思列宁毛主义者。中央委员会向我们的同志、共同的战士和老师表示含泪的敬意。我们承诺将完成他的工作。我们呼吁所有的革命队伍从钦坦达同志的生活和不懈的工作中吸取经验、积极性、决心和承诺。把他殉难的悲痛转化为力量，把泪水转化为愤怒。让我们再次承诺，实现烈士们的理想。
“同志，我们举着红旗前进
你的离去让我们悲痛，但我们继续前行。”

CPI (Maoist) Hit Squad Attacks Ex BJP MLA In West Singhbhum District, Kills Two Bodyguards
West Singhbhum District, January 4, 2022: Former BJP MLA from Manoharpur, Gurucharan Nayak, on Tuesday narrowly escaped an attack by armed cadres of the CPI (Maoist) in Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum district, but the Maoists slit the throats of his two policemen bodyguards and snatched three AK-47 rifles before escaping from the spot, a senior officer said.
Chakradharpur Sub-divisional Police Officer Dilip Khalkho said that the attack by cadres of the CPI (Maoist) took place in Jheelruwa village in Goilkera police station area after a football match in which Nayak was the chief guest.
“Soon after the local football match was over, the Maoists, who were in the crowd of football-watchers, suddenly attacked Nayak. He somehow managed to escape with the help of his policemen bodyguards. The Maoists, however, slit the throats of his two policemen bodyguards and snatched their AK-47 rifles. They also snatched a similar rifle from another security personnel and fled the spot,” the officer said.
STF Trooper Injured During Firefight With Naxalites In Gariaband District
Gariaband District, January 3, 2022: A Special Task Force (STF) trooper was injured in a gun battle between Naxalites and security personnel in a forest in Chhattisgarh’s Gariaband district on Sunday, police said.
The fighting broke out early in the morning in the Devdongar forest area when the STF was on an anti-Maoist operation, Gariaband Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Chandresh Singh Thakur said.
Acting on an input about the movement of Maoists in an area bordering Odisha state, two STF teams launched the operation on Saturday night.
When one of the teams was advancing through a hill, it came under fire from a group of Naxalites that led to the encounter, he said.
After a brief exchange of fire, the Maoists fled into the dense forest towards Odisha, the officer said.
An STF jawan, Yuvraj Sagar, suffered a bullet injury in his abdomen. He was rushed to a hospital from where he was referred to Raipur for further treatment.
A team of the District Reserve Guard (DRG) and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) was rushed to spot and the Odisha police were also intimated, he said.
CoBRA Commando Injured By IED Blast Triggered By Naxalites In Sukma District
Sukma District, December 31, 2021: A commando of CRPF’s jungle warfare unit CoBRA was injured in an IED explosion triggered by Naxalites in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district on Friday, officials said.
The improvised explosive device (IED) blast was followed by an exchange of fire between the troops on patrol and the Maoists around 1 pm along the Palodi-Kistaram axis of the district.
A member of the 208th battalion of the Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) has been injured during the anti-Naxal operation and he is being evacuated, they said.
Sukma district, in the south Bastar region of the state, is located about 400 kms from capital Raipur and multiple units of the CoBRA and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) are deployed here and adjoining districts for conducting anti-Maoist operations.
CPI (Maoist) Lend Support To Protests Against GO 317 In Telangana State
info India/press
Mulugu District, January 4, 2022: Protests have been taking place in Telangana state, demanding that the state government revoke Government Order (GO) 317 which was introduced on December 6, 2021. The GO, pertaining to Telangana Public Employment, has introduced a zonal system in the allocation of jobs. The new system was formulated after Telangana was reorganized into 31 new districts from 10 in 2016; and new districts like Asifabad, Bhupalapally, Mancherial, etc. were created.
As per the GO, the District Collector and the concerned Head of the Department in that district will be part of the allotment committee deciding on jobs and transfers for the district cadre posts. For zonal and multizonal posts, the decision will rest with the Principal Secretary, Special Chief Secretary, Head of the Department, and Senior Consultant to the government.
The agitating employees are objecting to the GO, stating that the government took the decision unanimously without consulting them. According to them, the GO does not consider the nativity of the employees and allocating permanent posts and transferring them to other districts. Further, protesters alleged that there are discrepancies in the preparation of the allocation list. They claim that seniority was given priority in the allotment to districts, but the seniority list is riddled with errors – a few government teachers, for instance, who have contacts of higher-ups were securing postings in cities and towns, they said. Meanwhile, others were being forced to move to remote areas in permanent allocation despite higher seniority and despite not being natives of the new locations.
As the protests against the GO 317 gather momentum in the State, the CPI (Maoist) has extended it’s support to the employees’ demand. The letter released by the CPI (Maoist) Central Committee spokesperson, Comrade Jagan, at Venkatapuram on Monday demanded the TRS government to withdraw the GO and stop the employee allocation with immediate effect.
The Maoists demanded that the government take up recruitment on the basis of nativity and reservations. With the government taking up the allocation of employees on the basis of seniority, a whole lot of employees especially women were put to distress. The GO is also likely to affect the unemployed youth especially the Adivasis, the letter said. Instead of implementing such thoughtless GOs, the government should focus on taking up recruitment, the Maoists said. The Maoists further stated that the TRS government had intentionally issued the GO 317 to distress the employees.
The letter questioned the rationale behind forcing the GO although nearly 3 lakh employees have been up against it. The Maoist party criticized the government for not taking the opinion of the employees into consideration before rolling out the GO. The letter also urged people to support the employees’ protests until the government withdraws the GO.

Shortly before Christmas, on December 22, 2021, activists organized a rally on Vienna’s main shopping street under the slogan “Support the Revolution in India.” Flyers, a banner and speeches were used to draw attention to an important anniversary of the Indian revolution. In India, a year-long campaign to mark the 20th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) was held from December 2020 to December 2021.
Workers in the industrial city of Steyr showed solidarity because the PLGA has contributed greatly to the liberation of oppressed workers and peasants in India since its founding 20 years ago.
In the midst of the lockdown, a united picture was taken in Linz and agitation was carried out in the streets.
