annihilate military campaigns against the Indian Revolution and help advance it with the utmost
steadfastness, revolutionary zeal and spirit.
Our Party is retaliating the „Reactionary Surajkund Strategic Offensive Plan‟ since last one
year with great sacrifices and contributions of Indian toiling masses and well -wishers, friends,
supporters of Indian People‟s Democratic Revolution and gaining new achievements. It is
advancing the New Democratic Revolution in semi -colonial, semi -feudal India in the path of
Protracted People‟s War with the aim of establishing Socialism -Communism all over the world.
This is a brief report of the important aspects our Party‟s efforts in the Ideological -Political,
Military and United Front including Cultural front of CPI (Maoist) during the past one year for
friends and comrades of Indian Revolution abroad.
Firstly we pay humble revolutionary homage to all the martyrs an d heroes who shed their
blood for the cause of Indian Revolution. Our party met with a great loss of a member of the Polit
Bureau of the Central Committee Comrade Katakam Sudarshan apart from another 78 comrades.
Nearly 20 of the martyrs are woman comrades . The entire Party, PLGA red warriors, United Fronts
and revolutionary masses conveys its red salute to those brave hearts who sacrificed their lives
from the liberation of the masses from the shackles of semi -colonialism and semi -feudalism. We
pledge to t ake forth their ideals.
We hail the great revolutionary determination of our comrades, members of the CC
Comrades Jaspal, Mohit, Janardhan (PBM) and Mangtu and hundreds of activists of the Party,
PLGA, RPC and RMOs who are in the dungeons of Indian State a nd reiterate that we would take
forth the efforts for their unconditional release.
International situation
The year 2023 was one more year of the intensification of Imperialist crisis and inter-
Imperialist wars on oppressed nations and oppressed people in a bid to redivide the world for loot
of land, natural resources and labour power . The Zionist Israeli state highly intensified its bloody
war on Palestine making genocide with the backing of US Imperialism together with its western
imperialist alliances. N evertheless it could not defile the aspirations of the heroic Palestinians with
the great solidarity of world people.
The last 22 months of uninterrupted US -Russia bloody proxy war in Ukraine has entered the
year 2024 with the cost of hundreds of people‟s lives. 2023 was the year of strikes against the loot


and exploitation of capitalist system and its war mongering. US declared it year of Strikes. In the
semi colonial semi feudal countries India, Philippines, Turkey, Peru, Afghanistan and Brazil where
New Democratic Revolution with socialist perspective is marching forward under the banner of
Marxism -Leninism -Maoism. The revolutionary movement went through gruesome repression by
the reactionary governments with the support of Imperialism, mainly US Imperial ism.
In the background of the intensification of the general crisis of capitalism there are
considerable changes in world politics. US hegemony over the world has suffered a setback and it
is no longer a super power in t he multipolar world. However, US continues to be the Number One
enemy of the people of the world. Global capitalist system is in a state of generalized and
protracted stagnation and decline. Presently, intense mass unemployment, homelessness,
inflation, ra cism and fascism characterize the Imperialist countries. Artificial Intelligence, Robotics,
Nanotech, Biotech technologies are leading to retrenchment of lakh of toilers, employees and
technicians and to employment less growth in developed and developing c ountries.
There is collusion and contention between the Imperialist powers but contention is the main
and primary. Trade wars between Imperialist powers reached a new height especially in semi -
conductor commodities that is popularly known as „chip war‟ bet ween US and China. The US is
steadily increasing its military presence in Asia. It is handing over large numbers of deadly
weapons to Philippines and Taiwan in opposition to China. China is utilizing the G -77 alliance of
the most backward countries for i ts interests of world hegemony. US has now based Nuclear -
capable B -52s in Darwin (Australia) and in Guam in order to target China and maintain its
hegemony over the Pacific Ocean. The situation is increasing the danger of World War III.
We have been witnes sing a spate of anti -imperialist struggles in the backward countries and
a spate of working class struggles in capitalist -imperialist countries all over the world. The
sharpening fundamental contradictions at the international level are – 1. The contradict ion between
imperialism and oppressed nationalities and people 2. The contradiction between bourgeoisie and
proletariat in capitalist, imperialist countries 3. The contradictions among imperialist countries and
among monopoly capitalist groups. The contrad iction between imperialism and oppressed
nationalities and people is the main contradiction. These developments show that in 2024, the
situation would be more favourable for revolution.
Domestic Situation
India is deeply impacted by the intensification of contradictions between Imperialist powers
and other contradictions at the international arena. In this situation the major contradictions of
India are also intensifying. US Imperialism utilized G -20 and e specially India‟s Presidentship to
further its interests. Lakh of crore were spent for the G -20 meeting at the cost of decline in the
economy of the country. During his tenure, Modi is playing the role of a salesman in inviting
Finance Capital from MNCs i nto the country.
India‟s accession to the US -led Minerals Security Partnership (MSP) is bound to create a
conducive environment for establishment of Special Export Zones of raw materials in a large scale
to G-7 countries. Just after few days of this deal, Indian government under BJP rule has amended
Environmental laws and Minerals Acts to facilitate the loot and plunder. Indian ruling classes are
lackeys in the hands of the Imperialist countries. Currently, India is one of the largest importers of
arms and weapons in the world and is also bound to increase its arms exports to Asian and African
countries by 5 billion dollars annually by 2025 with the help of US. It is a fact that most of this goes
to the MNCs.
In the name of ease of doing business, the fascis t BJP government is making amendments
to several laws and abolishing the earlier laws, few of which were achieved through people‟s
struggles in the interests of domestic and foreign corporate companies. Corporatization and
Militarization is the trend in th e last one year of Modi‟s rule. The government took a drive for hyper
privatization of national resources and productive forces to provide excessive profits to Comprador
capitalist class and Imperialist powers. India is witnessing an unprecedented liveliho od crisis in its
history.


The central government repeatedly states that India is going to become the third largest
economy in the world at 5 trillion dollars. But its announcement to provide 5 kgs. of rice per month
to 80 crore people reveals the reality o f the rising inequality in its rule. The growth being boasted
by Modi is only corporate and jobless growth, the three major sectors of the economy i.e.
Agriculture, Industry and Service being corporatized. The growth without improvement in the living
stand ards of the toiling classes is nothing but sham. While speaking of corruption free India, Modi
is in fact helping the Comprador Bureaucratic Bourgeoisie such as Adani and Ambani to increase
their wealth. Adani was given a clasped hand to overcome the effec t of Hindenburg report on his
empire of wealth.
Agricultural sector on which 60 percent of the Indian population remain dependent is in a
dire situation. Cost of production in agriculture has skyrocketed by 20 percent in the past one year.
The income of sm all and medium farmers has a miniscule increase of 2 percent. Real Wages of
the agricultural labourer that comprises 15 crore labour force further declined. According to new
wage codes the minimum wages of workers is fixed at Rs. 178 per day that is an all -time low.
Unemployment among the educated youth is at all -time high.
India is moving towards a fascist state at a rapid pace under the regime of Brahmanic
Hindutva fascism since the last 10 years. There is an unprecedented rise in exploitation and
oppress ion on the proletariat, semi -proletariat and the peasantry. The struggles of workers,
farmers and students are being suppressed in fascist manner . There are increasing attacks and
military suppression on the struggle for national liberation of the people of Kashmir. The Supreme
Court of India passed judgment in favour of annulment of Article 370 A and asserted the
nullification of the nominal status of a special state to Kashmir. Religious thinking and religious
frenzy are introduced into politics to sprea d communal hatred in the people.
Modi‟s rule turned absolutely bureaucratic involving violence and deception together and
continuously. This turned to be daily gimmicks of the government. Attacks on Muslims, Christians,
Dalit, tribal, women, students, you th and all other oppressed people and sections has surmounted
and they are being consigned to second -class citizen in their own mother land. The criminal
elements in the BJP are encouraged to unleash all kinds of inhuman, cruel deeds on the people of
the c ountry.
Nearly half of the MPs of BJP are involved in criminal cases related to women, one of them
being the infamous President of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI). The world witnessed how the
police manhandled the woman wrestlers who achieved great fam e to the country, on their way to
the new Parliament building on the day when Modi was involved in its inauguration in the outdated
mode of Hindutva rituals. In a series of developments, three wrestlers expressed their strong
dissent to the government. The atrocities committed on the Kuki -Zoma tribal people of the North
Eastern state of Manipur is another clear and recent example. Bulldozer has become the symbol of
nationalism under the fascist BJP rule and especially in states of double -engine government
(states under BJP rule). Unable to cope up with the situation there is a rise in suicides in these
sections.
Crore of rupees are spent on building Hindu temples, mainly Ram mandir instead on
education, health and other such basic needs of the people of the country. The aim of these
activities is to instigate religious fundamentalism in various forms in a bid to divide the people on
religious lines . It is meant to take them back to the medieval times and shed them of their scientific
and secular ideas as true citizens of the country. The BJP government brought several draconian
laws like new three criminal laws and Data Protection bill to curb the dissent and the revolutionary,
democratic voices of the country.
The BJP government wants all its ill deeds go unq uestioned and continue its oppressive
governance. The suspension of 146 Parliament Members of the opposition parties in the recent
session of Parliament is a clear example of Modi government‟s autocracy. The policies of BJP
reveal that it does not respect even the nominal federal, democratic aspects of bourgeois
democracy. However, the „INDIA‟ alliance is no exception. Whichever the party is, the ruling
classes of India possess Brahmanic Hindutva ideology. In this situation, workers, students, youth
and wom en are taking up militant struggles to live a normal life.


In this international and domestic situation, the fundamental contradictions in the country
namely - 1. The contradiction between imperialism and the Indian people; 2. The contradiction
between feu dalism and the broad masses; 3. The contradiction between capital and labour; 4. The
internal contradictions among the ruling classes – are further intensifying creating favourable
conditions for revolution.
The reactionary Surajkund strategic offensive pl an
The BJP works under the dictates of the Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh (RSS) in order to
take forth its agenda of Brahmanic Hindutva, the establishment of a Hindu state in the country.
Putting together all the ongoing repressive measures, it reviewed in 2 023 December the
reactionary Surajkund strategic offensive plan that it brought forth in the end of October 2022. The
Prime Minister personally attended the meeting that was stated to have discussed about Left -Wing
Extremism (LWE) as they call it, cyber -crime and terrorism.
The main objective of the offensive plan is to eliminate the Party, PLGA and the organs of
people‟s organisation, Revolutionary People‟s Committees and the entire revolutionary movement.
The state apparatus of Central and State governments was made more im petuous “by deploying
police, Para -military, Commando, Military and Airforce in a big scale in the areas of revolutionary
movement, extension and strengthening of carpet security”. There were aerial strikes on
revolutionary masses and leadership of the par ty. There is massive war of negative propaganda with
the help of corporate media against not only the revolutionary movement but on each and every
voice of dissent. Intellectuals, Writers, Poets, Human Rights activists, Students, Tribal activists,
Trade Un ion leaders, farmer leaders and all progressive forces are being targeted through this
policy in the name “pen -yielding” Maoists.
Surajkund policy is crucial for the BJP to win the General Election in 2024 and to fulfill its
design to make India into a cou ntry of Brahmanic Hindutva. The government is intensifying various
reform programs in the name of „development‟ in Maoist areas, Kashmir and the North East.
Instead of developing cordial relations with the neighbouring countries, Modi's government is
strengthening border security and coastal security and heightening the war like tensions with the
neighbouring countries . In the light of 2024 General election, it is launching various repressive
campaigns in Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Maharashtr a, West Bengal, Keralam and so
on. It is putting an iron heel on the struggling oppressed sections in all states of the country.
Intense and unceasing campaigns are being unleashed in the Special Areas, Guerrilla Zones and
Guerrilla Bases and areas of revo lutionary movement. The government stipulated a time period of
2 years initially and had been continuously extending it, the recent one being 5 years. Presently it
decided to launch “Operation Kagaar” to encircle the area of Maad.
Now let us look at some o f our efforts comprising ideological - political, military,
organisational spheres and in United Front.
Ideological -Political Work
The party took up varied tasks centralizing the main task of overcoming the temporary
setback in the revolutionary movement at the all India level.
1. The document on „Changes in Relations of Production in India -Our Political Program‟
released by the CC was taken among the entire ranks of the party as an educational campaign.
This is being followed by an in -depth understanding of the situation in the respective areas and
adopting corresponding tactics.
2. A campaign was launched for two years and a Key paper released on the occasion in
October in order to fight back Brahmanical Hindutva Fascism. The paper highlights the concrete
conditions that led to the emergence RSS in the year 1925, its role in the freedom struggle and its
rise to political power in the year 2014. The essential features of Brahmanical Hindutva Fascism
have been made out in the key paper. Theoretical analysis h as been done on the issue of religion
and Indian society from Marxist perspective. The paper defines Indian fascism as “comprador
bureaucratic, feudal fascism”. In order to combat Hindutva fascism, our party framed a program.
The campaign shall be a large scale propaganda and agitation in the coming two years against the
theoretical ideology of the Sangh Parivar, its politics and its fascist practice and attacks, by


mobilizing the vast revolutionary, democratic, secular, patriotic forces and oppressed peopl e so as
to politically isolate and defeat it and contribute to advance the New Democratic Revolutionary
movement.
3. Our Party participated in the seminar through sending a Paper to the seminar held on
„Imperialism and War ‟ conducted by NDFP in mid -October last year in a European country. T he
seminar paper based on the analysis of imperialism made by the great Marxist teacher Comrade
Lenin. It stated that the present situation shows the intensification of the fundamental
contradictions of capitalism in the era of imperialism. The paper wrote about the earlier World
Wars and analysed the present situation of looming danger of another World War. It wrote about
its understanding provided by Comrade Lenin that the world proletariat must fight to end imperialist
war and in case it starts, must take up the task of „transforming the war into a civil war‟. It ended
with the quote of the great Marxist teacher Comrade Mao that the present trend in the world is of
Revolution.
4. It issued a Joint Statement on Russia -Ukraine war and a joint declaration on the occasion
of the 130th Birth Anniversary of Comrade Mao.
5. It issued a statement and a video on the occasion of the 55th Foundation Day of Communist
Party of Philippines.

Coming to ideological -political work within the party, applying the Marxist principle of „from
the masses to the masses‟, our Party was successful in conducting several political campaigns
and movements in the last one year with the active involvement of P arty committees, PLGA,
United Front and revolutionary masses. The CC called upon the democratic, revolutionary
organisations to fight back the various anti -people bills brought forth by the BJP government at the
centre such as Uniform Civil Code, Digital P rotection Data Bill and the New Forest Conservation
Act. It exposed the reality in the Women‟s Reservation Bill that would not come into
implementation for a long time even so. It extended solidarity to the people of Manipur struggling
against the divisive policies of the BJP government also in the state. It extended solidarity to the
national liberation movement of Palestine where the people are facing heavy bombings and
killings from the Israeli Zionists with the support of US imperialists and other weste rn powers.
A statement was issued by our CC on the occasion of World Proletariat May Day for consolidating
the proletariat class against the threat of Imperialist wars. Messages were circulated by our CC on the
occasion of observation of Martyrs day on July 28, the celebration of Party Foundation Day on 21st
September and the PLGA Day on 2nd December. These celebrations and other occasions of
meetings and demonstrations where the effigies of Joe Biden, Benjamin Netanyahu and Narendra
Modi were burnt in protest to Israel war on Palestine, Corporatization and Militarization was
opposed invigorated the Party and the revolutionary masses with revolutionary zeal and in
countering the h einous propaganda on our Party and the revolutionary movement by the enemy.
The party took up several political and military education campaigns to educate the cadres
of the Party, PLGA and United Front. Special meetings of women activists of various ranks were
held in continuation to those in the earlier years. These meetings helped to deeply understand the
problems faced in the process of their participation in the revolutionary movement and to work for a
better understanding of the cadres towards patriar chy. With the efforts in the past years the
revolutionary movement witnessed increase in women‟s leadership at various levels and also
recruitment. Recruitment Campaigns were taken up at the mass level in villages, towns, districts
and cities of India. Spe cial classes were held on Mode of Production, Nationality question and the
Political Resolution of the CC in the Special Areas, Special Guerrilla Zones and States.
Military work
The main effort in the military sphere was to defeat Brahmanic Hindutva fascis m and
counter -revolutionary Surajkund policy as a part of overcoming the temporary setback in the
revolutionary movement. Following the dictum of “learn warfare from warfare”, PLGA comrades
gained new experience in the battlefield. The enemy forces compris ed of National Security Guards
and Garuda forces of the Indian Air Force under the direction of Home Minister Amit Shah


launched an aerial attack to inflict severe damage to our leadership. But the alertness and strong
counter offensive tactics of our PLGA comrades nullified the nefarious plan of the enemy. In that
retaliatory action 3 commandos of Garuda and NSG forces were annihilated and 6 commandos
were injured. Further, three modern combat helicopters were badly damaged. This heroic counter -
offensive h ighly motivated the PLGA forces and revolutionary masses whereas the morale of the
enemy forces was profoundly demoralized.
In the last one year under the guidance of our Party several guerrilla actions were taken up
by our PLGA forces. PLGA made efforts t o intensify and widen guerrilla war with the aim to
overcome the temporary setback and advance the revolutionary movement. Some of the
prominent ones are as follows:
On 26th April, 2023 in Darba Division in Aranpur our PLGA guerrillas annihilated 10 Distri ct
Reserve Guards (DRG) in IED blast through Tactical Counter Offensive Campaign. This has
brought nightmares to enemy forces. The daring Aranpur ambush was unexpected and shocked
the enemy with a tunnel being dug beneath the main road where mines were arr anged.
In Bihar -Jharkhand of Eastern Regional Bureau region, our brave PLGA warriors are
showing infinite courage and war skills in resisting fascist onslaught from past one year. In West
Singhbhum region of Jharkhand, our PLGA comrades wiped out 15 polic e and injured 90 police
forces in the unceasing patrols of the government armed forces of the central and the state
governments.
In the several guerrilla actions in guerrilla zones and red resistance areas a total of 75
police personnel were wiped out and 163 were injured. Our PLGA annihilated some police
informers, 10 anti -people elements, particularly fascist BJP leaders in the past one year. Our Party
has taken special TCOCs during elections to state assemblies.
The revolutionary people and their militia , the base force of PLGA dug thousands of spike
holes in order to restrict the capricious movements of the police personnel. Revolutionary masses
developed general alert system like firing crackers when the police personnel enter revolutionary
areas.
There are incidents where the PLGA could break the encirclement of the police forces
through strong retaliation like in Odisha. There were serious losses too. In Bihar -Jharkhand, five
comrades of which two are members of SAC were killed through poison in an ene my covert action.
In Dandakaranya a DvC member died in a covert operation in firing. Three comrades were caught
as they were going to make a guerrilla action in Gadchiroli. A Commander of Local Organising Squad
(LOS ) was caught and killed in Telangana.
Special Military leadership training programs were held in several zones and divisions in the
last one year, with the objective to train the Politico -Military leadership corresponding to the
changes in the military tactics of the enemy.
United Front
The Revolutionary People‟s Committees (RPC) and the Revolutionary Mass Organisations
(RMO) worked with the task to fight back the present reactionary Surajkund strategic offensive of
the enemy in order to overcome the temporary setback in the revolutionary mov ement. Thousands
of revolutionary masses were mobilised in the revolutionary land reform campaign of the RPC held
early every year. Other revolutionary development activities were taken up to raise the living
standards of the people. The RPCs also held peo ple‟s courts to eliminate the enemy‟s intelligence
network in the villages.
The RMOs took up struggles against the setting up of new police camps in the areas of
revolutionary movement and against fake encounters. lakh of people mobilised to observe the
Martyrs week and to celebrate other revolutionary days. The people participated with utmost vigor
in the meetings. The RMOs also implemented the call given by ICSPWI to celebrate Martyrs Day
for the whole month of July. This helped the masses of our country to know about the revolutionary
heroes of the world who laid down their lives for the cause of socialist revolution.
Several mass movements such as against Brahmanic Hindutva Fascism, displacement,
Corporatisation -Militarisation both legal and underground mass movements were built in the past


one year in towns, plain areas and cities, against Corporatization -Militarization of Forest belts,
against imperialist loot of natural resources of the country, against displacement due to corporate
development model, against the amendments of Forest Conservation Act and the draconian Acts
and for the implementation and protection of Panchayats Extension to Special Areas Act (PESA ).
On various occasions along with intellectuals, students, human rights activists and civi l
society we form ed united platforms against state repression, illegal arrests, detentions, fake
encounters and aerial bombings. The RMOs took up the program of boycott of elections called by
the party. The people of Guerrilla Base Areas totally boycotted the elections.
People demonstrated in large numbers against the fake encounter of two villagers of
Gomme near Koyilibeda of Kanker district in C hhattisgarh. Following this, an indefinite
demonstration was launched.
People‟s Cultural Organizations in the pa st one year undertook several programs including
making of audio and video presentations to propagate progressive, New Democratic and
communist values in the masses. It also took up special programs to expose Brahmanical Hindutva
Fascism in forms of songs, plays, dance, poetry and short films. The revolutionary cultural artists
are upholding the mass struggles in their cultural programs and immediately responding to the
ongoing developments in the domestic and international spheres, against state repression and
martyrs.
Several students and teachers organisations are working together against the New Education Policy
of RSS -BJP to saffronise and privatise the education system. They are also raising their voice against the
rise in the cost of education and cur tailment of "academic freedom" in higher education institutes. Several
urban Mass Organisations are working together such as the students‟ organisations against
ragging, several kinds of organisations against BHF and in solidarity to Palestine. Acting on t he
call of the party to take up demonstrations in solidarity to Palestine, people of various areas of the
revolutionary movement in the country held meetings, processions and protest activities. A special
propaganda campaign was taken up in protest to the repressive measures on the revolutionary
movement in Jharkhand that was followed by all India Bandh on December 22nd. People blocked a
Railway line in Jharkhand on the occasion demanding a stop to police patrols into the villages and
setting up of police c amps.
In the given international and domestic situation, there is a rise in the people‟s struggles and
resistance. There is a rise in people‟s struggles for right to land and forest, against land mafia and
against corporatization -militarization even in those areas from where our Party had to temporarily
retreat due to enemy's severe repression. The process of organising the people in secret organs,
building armed formations, joining youth in PLGA and thus rebuilding the revolutionary movement
in such areas is going on. The people of the country are further in the path of fighting for their right
to jal -jungle -zameen -ijjat-adhikar (water -forest -land-self-respect -political power ). The situation is
growing further favourable for revolution.
The part y understands that the fascist repression is going to intensify in the coming days
and also that anti -Brahmanic Hindutva Fascist movements will come into being with great intensity.
Isolating the enemy politically is the need of the hour. We need to unite the anti -Brahmanic
Hindutva Fascist, anti -Comprador Bureaucratic Bourgeois, anti -feudal and anti -Imperialist forces
and work to bury Imperialism. The party pledges to strengthen its ideological -political, military,
organisational efforts to fight back the reactionary Surajkund strategic offensive, overcome the
temporary setback in the revolutionary movement and advance it. With its decades long
experiences in working among the people fighting back fierce repressive campaigns of the Indian
state, the party is strongly determined to take forth the New Democratic Revolution in India as a
part of the World Socialist Revolution. It steps ahead in the path of Protracted People‟s War
through Agrarian Revolution as an axle of New Democratic Revolution, uniting the four oppressed
classes on the basis of worker -peasant alliance.

Workers and Oppressed people of all countries, Unite!
Long live Marxism -Leninism -Maoism!


Long live Proletarian Internationalism!
