Revolutionary Greetings and Best Wishes to all comrades, friends, best-wishers on the eve of the 69th Independence Day, 15th August 2015!
Despite 68 years are over after India got Independence from the British rulers, the conditions of more than half of the population are still much to be improved. The rich have become richer and the poor the poorer. A large number of the population is still illiterate. Corruption has become a part of the system, eroding the values we hold high. Communal tensions are created by vested interests to suit their purpose and divide the society.
A change is required to improve the conditions of the vast masses of the country. The working class has got more responsibility in this respect. Let us contribute our mite towards the same.

Monsoon Session of the Parliament has been adjourned sine-die, without much work done. The NDA government is fully responsible for the wash-out, since it is because of its adamant and arrogant stand that no action will be taken against the the Cabinet Minister and two state Chief ministers involved in the alleged Lalit Modi issue and also Vyapam issue. The party which strongly protested against the corruption of Ministers in the UPA ministry, is trying to rescue its own ministers who are involved in scams.

Today, 13th August 2015, is the 90th Birth Day of the Revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, who created a new history for the Cuban people.
On his 90th birthday, the Communist leader has demanded the US government that it should refund Cuba for the loss of millions and millions of dollars Cuba had to suffer because of the US trade embargo which was imposed about six decades back. This is a fully justified demand of the Cuban people.
In the same way, it is time for India to demand Britain for the return of the thousands and thousands of valuable books, antiques, historical artifacts, precious stones, gold etc. including the Kohinoor Diamond to be returned to India, which is the real owner. Will Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister, take courage to raise the demand in his Independence Day Speech at Red Fort on 15th August 2015?
