GRECIA: Initiative of Solidarity with the Indian People

 

 

Dear comrades, 

Recently, we have founded the Initiative of Solidarity with the Indian People. In doing so, we have set a wide range of goals, namely, among others: 

First of all, to dispel all the myths surrounding Indian state and the role of the Indian comprador big bourgeoisie (CBB) in the international arena. 

Furthermore, to inform the Greek people about the nascent reactionary economic, military and political alliance forged between Greek comprador bourgeoisie and the Indian CBB and more precisely about all the projects and “corridors” like IMEC including the Zionist genocidal settler “state”. 

Besides, to shed light to the internal policy of the Indian CBB, in particular about Hindutva in all its aspects (majoritarianism and persecution of nationalities, Muslims, women etc., its role as a narrative of CBB, etc. but also its similarities with Zionism).  

Last but not least, to highlight the true alternative for the Indian people: the People’s War headed by CPI (Maoist). 

The work to be done is not easy. First of all, many here simplistically believe that, as long as Pakistan is a friend of Turkey, which has territorial claims against Greece and has occupied Cyprus, then Greece should forge an alliance with Modi. 

Furthermore, there are those who believe that India is among the nations that create a so-called “multipolar world”, therefore, Greece should create an alliance with the Indian “rising power”. 

Moreover, there are many who claim that BRICS – without even considering its internal and inherent contradictions – is a kind of new “antiimperialist camp”. Therefore, as India is a member of BRICS, we should not criticize the Indian ruling class. 

Besides, there are many people who think that India is an exotic place where people practice yoga and even like (!) casteism and this kind of “traditions”. 

All of the above constitute the majority of the Greek people. Nevertheless, we will insist, as, apart from the internationalist task, not studying India means not knowing the trends in the contemporary world.

As part of our first actions, we have already been to three political festivals with our stand and propagandistic material. We share with you photos with the stand we had in the Antiracist Festival held between 4-6/7 in Athens with more than 30,000 visitors. We distributed the CPI (Maoist) DKSPZ Committee statement d.d. 25/5/2025 regarding the killing of cde. Basavaraj, a leaflet with our goals and two books of CPI (Maoist), namely “The caste question in India” and “The nationality question in India” translated by a member of ours.  

There are many plans, especially regarding Operation Kagaar and the 25-year anniversary of PLGA.
