Dear Vijaya Kumar M,
Thanks for your reply. I think it offers all of us a good insight in the
way in which – probably quiet many – supporters of the “Communist”
Parties of India are thinking.
You claim: “The people of Kashmir opted to remain in India”. In fact, it
was a Hindu monarch who decided this without asking the people of Kashmir!
You praise the constitution of the Indian capitalist state (“The Indian
Constitution is egalitarian and ensures equal rights to every citizen,
irrespective of his faith or caste. Right now, it is our best bulwark
against the onslaught of BJP's communal fascism.”). Yet you can not
answer why did the Indian state with its wonderful constitution never
allow the Kashmiri people to have a plebiscite!
The same with the history of brutal oppression by the Indian state which
killed so many people. Your only thought about all these facts are that
this is “Pakistani propaganda”.
You claim that India has a historic right (since “millennia”!) to
possess and occupy another people. Do you claim that the Kashmiri people
are part of the “Indian nation”? Do you deny that they are a separate
nation? Do you seriously claim that the Kashmiri people have no right of
independence because the rest of India considers Kashmir to be part of
India?! This is like denying the right of national self-determination to
the oppressed people of Russia because the Russian majority population
does not support this! How can a communist in the tradition of Lenin
justify such an outright violation of the most basic democratic rights
of an oppressed nation?!
Your inability to answer all this most elementary facts reflects the
positions of the “Communist” parties. And this tells us a lot about
Indian Stalinism! They are neither internationalist nor communist but
patriotic towards a capitalist oppressor state. Lenin called such
parties “social-patriotic”. An appropriate characterization of the CPI
and the CPI(M)!
