Drone attacks and surface bombing are no longer uncommon in many regions of India. On January 13 of this year, the third drone -based bombing against the Indian population was carried out over the course of just five days, most of which are concentrated in central Indian areas that are primarily inhabited by indigenous people (so -called adivasi). At the beginning of this year, another 3,000 military forces were moved to these areas, in addition to the 10,000 paramilitaries already stationed there. In the Abuj Maad region alone, where 35,000 people live, there are six military bases. Or in the Abujmarh region, here are three military forces on seven adivasi living there. The question seems obvious: Is India in war, is it attacked by another country?
The forum against corporatism and militarization. “Which goes hand in hand with the military occupation of large parts of its own country. This war has been intensified by the new "Prahar" military campaign in particular in recent months. The "Operation Prahar" is part of the "Operation Samadhan", which was launched in 2017, which is managed as a counter -revolutionary operation, as a fight against the Indian State. “The similarity in the procedure between the armed forces and the paramilizers in the occupation of the country and the establishment of various paramilitary camps in one area reflects a common military orientation behind these activities. We believe that the Samadhan-Prahar operation is the embodiment of this military orientation and it is necessary to resist all over the country to stop this unrestrained militarization " , according to the organization Facam for the connection between the state armed forces and the paramilitaries.
In order to intensify the war against its own people, especially the bombings, the Indian Air Force has now purchased more than 30 Israeli Heron Mark 2 drones, which have so far been used mainly in Mali, Afghanistan and against the population in Gaza. India is now the world's largest buyer of weapons, as well as the largest buyer of Israeli weapons, including the Israeli spy software "Pegasus", which is used to spy on the mobile devices of the civilian population.
The regions of India, in which the acts of war are now particularly tight with the Operation Prahar, are also those areas that are particularly resourceful and where the population has a long tradition of fighting the sale and robbery of their country. One of the centers of the operation is the Abujmarh region, in which various tribal communities live, and which, in addition to ore, lime and uranium, also includes an iron deposit of 700 million tons. However, these resources should not be reduced to use for the Indian population, but the Indian state does everything to drive away the population based there and to sell out the resources to international monopolies to the imperialists. That is why Facam also points out that militarization and corporatism go hand in hand: "The mobilization of paramilitaries by the Indian State in Operation Kagar is a highly alarming situation (...) whose core objective is to intensify the sell-off of India's raw materials while crushing any form of popular resistance." The Corporitatism, as is currently particularly advanced by the Indian rulers, means the privatization (sale) of the so -called community (resources, forest, country, public services) under state control. And using the example of India, a semi -colonial and semi -feudal country, this process primarily benefits the imperialist powers and monopolies, which, through billions of capital investments, become the clock of this process and also attract the main profits. In India itself, this process has led to an enormous economic crisis, from which the Indian state tries to save itself against the people with the reinforcement of the Hindu -fascist forces led by Prime Minister Modi, even harder economic measures and other genocidal campaigns.
As a result of this defeat, the Indian government in the Samadhan-Prahar's operation issued the orientation that "Naxalism of the words and weapons" to wipe out not only to carry out a military control campaign, but also to expand the repression to wider parts of the unarmed people's movement. Human rights activists, tribal residents and armed resistance fighter are equally under the pretext of the "Connection with Maoist forces" arrested, tortured or murdered. The blind hatred of the Hindu-fascist Indian state for the revolutionary and communist forces is based on a real "danger": that the India of caste, genocide, genocide, low-wage country and experimental laboratory could be transformed by a revolution into a new independent and people-democratic India. A perspective that gives large parts of the population the strength and hope to continue even more persistently the daily struggle against genocidal measures, land expulsions and repression, as organized and supported by FACAM.
