Communist Party of India completes 95 Years

18 Sunday Oct 2015

17th October, CPI, formation, Tashkent

The  Communist Party of India was formed in Tashkent on 17th October 1920. This 17th October 2015 is the 95th anniversary of the historic day. It was formed in a foreign country due to the special circumstances of the times, when India was under British Rule and any move for a Communist Party will be crushed. In fact it happened after the formation. Most of the leading Communists in India were arrested and charged with sedition against the government and criminal conspiracy and were punished and sent to jail for many years. Peshawar, Kanpur and  Meerut Conspiracy Cases are some of these.

The communists used the court hearings to express their views ina very effective way and thoroughly exposed the British imperialism and its rule in India. These statements in the court are parts of the history of the Communist Party.

While CPI(M) takes the position that the Communist Party of India was formed on 20th October 1920, the CPI is taking the position that it was formed in September 1925.  Both the parties agree that the formation took place in foreign soil, with the support of the Communist Party of Soviet Union after the great 1917 October Revolution.

The formation of the Communist Party of India had positive impact on  the freedom struggle and events afterwards.

The Split in CPI – the debate between CPI and CPI(M)

26 Sunday Oct 2014

BSNLEU, CPI, CPI(M)

A debate is going in the media, especially in Kerala on the split in the Communist Party in 1964. CPI terms it as a big damage while CPI(M) states that had not the split taken place, the party would have become almost a close ally of the ruling Congress. The CPI(M) also state with facts that it is only because of the split that more people joined the party, with its clear ideological and practical stance.

A similar development took place in Telecom Union. But it was not a split, but a victory through election, a democratic process. The revisionist leadership was defeated in the Bhopal AIC of E.III Union, and the progressive leadership with Coms.Moni Bose and VAN Namboodiri was elected. The growth of the union and the present BSNLEU would have been not there but for the victory in that election and the developments afterwards.

History repeats, but with a difference and sometimes with a vengeance.

Do Not Stop MGNREGA – CPI(M)

CPI, MGNREGA, NDA

July 4, 2014
Press Statement

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:

On Moves to Scrap MGNREGA

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly protests against any move to scrap or weaken the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). It is reported in the press that the Rajasthan Chief Minister has made a proposal to extinguish the legal guarantee under the Act and convert it into a scheme. A party which promised job creation during its election campaign is now suggesting the elimination of the only legal guarantee for creation of jobs, namely MGNREGA. The last years of the UPA government had also seen MGNREGA become a hostage to fiscal considerations and funds were severely cut.

The Polit Bureau demands strengthening of the Act, measures to ensure a minimum of hundred days work and to protect the rights of the intended beneficiaries by ensuring implementation of all the clauses pertaining to wage payment, compensation for delayed payment and also unemployment allowance and to make available funds to pay the arrears with immediate effect.

Postal Workers Collecting Datas for CPI (Consumer Price Index)

CPI, Postman

“Global investors may well be putting their faith in postmen like Phanin Deka when they decide to buy or sell Indian assets in the future.

He is one of about a thousand post workers collecting data that determines the level of India’s consumer price index, which is likely to become the central bank’s most important tool for setting monetary policy.

Deka, a postmaster in Sarpara in Assam, spends six days every month visiting two villages by bicycle to collect prices from 15 shops.

“At times, some shopkeepers refuse to co-operate. I think they consider me as an irritant, particularly when customers are around,” said Deka.” (Courtesy: Hindustan Times)
