Sir,

I am writing to thank the party for posting a report entitled “Celebration of the 90th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution’’ on the party web-site. I was delighted to read about the grand public meeting held on November 4th, 2007 in Mumbai marking the 90th anniversary. I congratulate the party on its initiative of carrying out a series of schools across the length and breadth of the country. The party will emerge as the true vanguard of the working class as it carries out these truly revolutionary activities. The resplendent celebration of the 90th anniversary of the great October Socialist Revolution reflects the deep yearning for socialism in the Indian masses and no amount of bourgeois propaganda to the contrary can change this hard fact.

One of the achievements of the party has been that it has been at the forefront of the ideological struggle in the defence of communism and socialism by basing itself firmly on the ground reality of the world situation, at the time of the global retreat of socialism. The party has shown that there can be no substitute for revolution and to that of wresting of power in the working peoples and has fought against all conciliation with the exploiters and the bourgeoisie. It has also been at the forefront of demonstrating that the state apparatus in place in India and the constitution on which the statecraft is anchored is that of the British colonial masters. The path of Nehruvian socialism was from the outset a framework to hoodwink and deceive the Indian people to garner their support for the objectives of the big landlords and bourgeoisie. This state remains in sharp contrast to that of the state of the USSR whose constitution was based on the most advanced principles of that time which granted the working people their rights and which resolved the question of nations that constituted the USSR.

The Indian constitution is the basis for the dictatorship of private capital, of the oppression of the nations that constitute India. Therefore, no matter which party comes into power on the basis of the provisions of this constitution, via the system of Parliamentary Democracy; it is bound to carry on like a colonialist. This is readily seen in today’s India: no matter which party is in power, BJP in Gujarat, NCP in Maharashtra, CPM in West Bengal, DMK in Tamil Nadu, Congress in AP, all carry on in the same way.

The working people of India must shed all illusions about the present system and prepare themselves to be the masters of their destiny. Recalling the achievements of the glorious October Revolution will go a long way in strengthening their confidence.

Sincerely,
A. Narayan
