"To glorify democracy and to silence people is a farce; to discourse on humanism and to negate people is a lie.".
' Paulo Freire .
Claiming 'freedom' from the British rule, India had a 'tryst with destiny' on August 15th, 1947. Ever since that 'fateful'.
day, the India has attempted, many a time with brute force, to 'shape the destinies of nations' which were annexed and were.
at different levels of development. Carrying forward the notori.
.
ety of the British colonial State, and adding theatrics of 'liberal'.
demoGratic phrase-mongering with a virulent strain of illiberal nationalism, the Indian State has butchered and subsumedmany histories in its zeal for integration.India is a country of many nationalities. These nationalities have been struggling relentlessly against the repressiveand expansionist policies of the Indian ruling classes. Kashmiris, Khalistanis, Tamilians and different nationalities of North·East such as the Assamese, Nagas, Manipuris, Tripuris, etc have been waging protracted struggles against the Indian Statefor their right to self-determination, including the right to secede from the so-called Union of India since long. There are otherstruggling nationalities like Telangana, Gorkhaland, Kamtapuri, Poorvanchal too which are at the bottom of development inspite the abundance of resources because of the exploitative polices being executed against them. The Indian ruling classesand their imperialist masters, particularly US imperialism, have been suppressing these struggles mercilessly. They are beingcrushed under the boots of the Indian Army stationed in various states of the north-east and in Kashmir.There are many similarities with which the State brutally repressing the liberation voices of Kashmir. Tamil, Assam.Tibbet, Gorkha, Naga and many other nationalities . The communal/fascist/brahmnical State and the Media are not only hidingthe liberation struggles and the suppression, but also trying to focus all the attention on specific nationalities by labeling it anti-national.. In the name of Integration, the Hindu Communal Forces, particularly RSS and Congress are vehemently diverting theattention from the liberation struggles to the euphoria of terrorism to continue with minority witch hunting. This is a tacticalmove on the part of the cultural nationalists (read Hindu right wing) to 'unite' the Hindus against Muslims and other religious and national minorities so that the struggles against feudalism and struggles against imperialism do not come together.. Draconian laws like AFSPA and many more provide the Army with powers to 'kill anyone and destroy publicproperty on suspicion' with complete impunity from the courts has been in place in Kashmir and North-East, and an ever-intensifying centralisation of the armed forces and thus indiscriminate arrests, rapes, torture and killings in false 'encounters'are the order of the day. All movements and appeals against this draconian law have been summarily crushed by the militaryState which considers it necessary to contain 'militancy' in the region. .
·Dancing into the tune of fascist forces the integrationist sarkari left parties-CPI, CPM and CPI(ML)-Liberation too donot stand with the nationality struggles. More so to mock, they sometimes shout slogans of human rights violation as evenimperialist agencies UN etc do. For these brahmnical/communal forces AFSPA and other draconian laws are mere the issuesof human rights violation The subversion of struggles of liberation movements to mere human rights violation is the rulingclass strategy to keep 'India' intact and these sarkari brahmnical-communal left vouch for that.In this background, the explanation provided by Ambedkar becomes very important. He says, "A caste has no feelingthat it is affiliated to other castes except when there is a Hindu-Muslim riof On all other occasions each caste endeavours tosegregate itself and to distinguish itself from other castes." This statement of Ambedkar clearly depicts how right-wing usescaste as a political weapon to mobilise dalit-OBCs into the Hindu fold against Muslims and other struggling masses. Ambedkarclearly states that India is not a nation. To quote him, 'There are many Indians whose patriotism does not permit them to admit.that Indians are not a nation, that they are only an amorphous mass of people." This clearly depicts that Ambedkar stands infavour of nationality movements. And this is the time that dalit movement, a movement against feudalism must join hands withoppressed nationality struggles. The voices of the struggling nationalities will grow into the symphony of freedom with the unityof dalits and other progres-sive forces. .
