"Let us declare that the state of war does exist and shall exist so long as the Indian toiling masses and the natural resources are being exploited by a handful of parasites. They may be purely British Capitalist or mixed British and Indian or even purely Indian. They may be carrying on their insidious exploitation through mixed or even on purely Indian bureaucratic apparatus. All these things make no difference." Bhagat Singh .
Today is Bhagats Singhs birth anniversary of Bhagat Singh, and also the martyrdom day of the legendary trade union leader of the Chhattisgarh Mukti Morcha, Shankar Guha Niyogi. Years after Bhagat Singhs martyrdom, his words ring true the British Raj might officially have ended, but the present day rulers of independent India are shamefully celebrating our colonial legacy with our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh eulogizing British rule as good governance and hosting of Commonwealth Games at an incredible cost to Indias poor. On the one hand, the ruling class is honoring British colonialism by giving an enthusiastic red carpet welcome to the Queens baton in India, and on the other hand, the powers-that-be are surrendering to US imperialism! As Bhagat Singh had correctly predicted, the brown sahibs who replaced the white sahibs are least concerned about the welfare of the common Indian. For them, the diktats of their US masters are the law which needs to be immediately put in place. Disastrous economic policies which are unabashedly pro-corporate and anti-poor have been followed by governments of all hues whether it is the NDA, the UPA or the so-called left governments in West Bengal and Kerala. .
Preach Bhagat Singhs Legacy in Theory, Murder Young Bhagat Singhs in Practice! Unfortunately today, even those who swear by Bhagat Singhs legacy are busy murdering the young Bhagat Singhs of our own generation: on 25 September 2006, the so-called left CPI(M) government of West Bengal unleashed the first round of massive state terror on the thousands of peasants protesting land-grab for Tatas car factory in Singur. Rajkumar Bhul, a 24 year old agitator, succumbed to the injures sustained during the police attack and was the first martyr of the peoples struggle in Singur. And in 2006 December, 18-year old Tapasi Malik, a young dalit girl protesting against the corporate land grab in Singur, was found brutally raped and murdered. Subsequently, the CPI(M) spread a host of lies and tried its best to deny the complicity of its own leaders and activists in her horrific murder. Investigations have now clearly indicted Suhrid Datta, the influential Singur zonal committee secretary of CPI(M) and Debu Malik, a well-known CPI(M) activist amongst others. Shamefully, the CPI(M) continues to defend Suhrid Dutta and even rewarded him by allowing him to be the star campaigner in elections the moment he was out on bail. On March 14, 2007, the same left CPI(M), which claims to carry forward Bhagat Singhs legacy, opened fire on peasants and farmers in Nandigram who were defending their lands against acquisition by the state government for Indonesias Salim group of industries (which has the blood of thousands of communists on its hands). For the likes of CPI(M), it seems Bhagat Singhs legacy lies in giving a red carpet welcome to Tata and Salim, while raining bullets and batons on peasants, farmers and workers! .

.. Carry Forward Their Revolutionary Legacy! .
Today, the challenge in front of everyone genuinely committed to Bhagat Singhs legacy is multifold. Governments of the day are busy privatizing essential facilities like water, electricity, health care and education, acting on the clear instructions of the World Bank-IMF combine. While they claim not to have the funds for education and health care of Indias poorest citizens, they hand out whopping tax waivers to Indias richest corporations.When workers demand something as basic as legally mandated minimum wages, when farmers resist corporate grab of their land and only source of livelihood, they find the entire state apparatus employed against them. .
Students are increasingly finding institutions of higher learning fully reserved for the rich and the privileged, as fee hikes, user charges and privatization become the order of the day. And when they fight for social justice and inclusion and ensure progressive legislations like the OBC Reservation Act, they find casteist forces hell bent on scuttling the potential of such policies with the active aid and abetment of the powers-that-be. They find the so-called Right to Education Act reduced to a complete farce. .
Not just are independent Indias economic policies tailored to suit corporate interests, Indias foreign policy is now nothing but an abject surrender to US imperialism. The Indian government has compromised our sovereignty by agreeing to Indo-US Nuclear Deal with its highly problematic Hyde Act clause; it is planning to add yet another appalling instance of servility by signing the Civil Nuclear Liability Bill. Our government has shamefully compromised Indias historic solidarity .

Remind me never to attempt dough patterns on top of the jam ever again. The time spent, and my back.
At least they look pretty.
