Polemic on General Line of International ... - From Marx to Mao

olutionary cause of the Indian proletariat and people andembarked on the road of national chauvinism and class capitulationism.This clique has usurped the leadership of theIndian Communist Party and, conforming to the will of theIndian capitalists and landlords, has been transformingthe Party into a lackey of the Nehru government which representstheir interests.What has happened to the Indian Communist Party sincethen?Now everybody can see that the Dange clique is stilltravelling on the road of betrayal. It is still advocating classcollaboration and the realization of socialism in India throughthe Nehru government. It actively supported the Nehrugovernment’s huge budget providing for arms expansion andwar preparation, and its measures for fleecing the people. InAugust 1963 it sabotaged the great strike of one million peoplein Bombay against the Nehru government’s ruthless taxationpolicy. It tried to obstruct the holding of a mass rally inCalcutta demanding the release of the imprisoned Communists,in which 100,000 people participated. It is continuing itsfrenzied anti-Chinese activities and supporting the Nehrugovernment’s expansionist policy. It is following the Nehrugovernment’s policy of hiring itself out to U.S. imperialism.As their renegade features are revealed, Dange and companymeet increasing opposition and resistance from the broadrank and file of the Indian Communist Party. More and moreIndian Communists have come to see clearly that Dange andcompany are the bane of the Indian Communist Party andthe Indian nation. They are now struggling to rehabilitatethe Party’s glorious and militant revolutionary tradition.They are the genuine representatives and the hope of the Indianproletariat and the Indian people.The leaders of the CPSU clamour about the Chinese CommunistParty’s support of “defectors” and “renegades”, butis they themselves who support such out-and-out defectorsand renegades as Dance and company.345
