Though other classes and social sections will be important partners in the historical movement to destroy capitalism (its highest stage of imperialism) they cannot provide leadership. In each instance the issue of liberation is specific – land in the case of landless peasants, caste oppression for Dalits, male chauvinism for women, ethnic oppression for Adivasis, national oppression for oppressed people, religious persecution for minorities and so on. Being specific they are also partial, in the context of the whole revolutionary project. But this is not the situation of the proletariat. Capitalist bondage is different from earlier exploiting systems like caste-feudalism. It imposes no other compulsion on the workers other than the pangs of hunger. And since, in principle, they are free, there can be no specific liberation suiting them. Every form of exploitation and oppression must be ended. Thus the emancipation of the whole of humanity becomes a precondition for the liberation of this class. The leading role of the proletariat derives from this objective social position. It obliges the proletariat to continue the revolution all the way up till realising a world rid of exploitation.
If this Marxist understanding of proletarian leadership is absolutised it would certainly lead to reification. Both the history and present of the international communist movement illustrate how this emerges with mechanical equations, where proletariat = revolution and communist party = vanguard. On the other hand, economist impulses often seen in the upper strata of the proletariat, social passivity engendered by revisionist, reformist politics that strengthen this economism, and changes seen in the nature of labour and work places, have given rise to views that abandon the proletarian leadership concept. Carried away in the tide of identity politics, they believe that, in future, these movements will give leadership to social change.
Thus we have the two. At one end, reification of the proletariat and the communist party, selfishness that hoists this banner to justify fleeting necessities as common interests. At the other, the lethargic plea to reduce our sights to the partial, to abandon the noble task of an exploitation free world since it is a mere myth. Maoism cuts through this vicious circle. The leading role of the proletariat and the vanguard position of its communist party are potentialities contained in historical circumstances. They can only be realised through creative intervention in the historical moment of a specific society. Similar to other phenomena, this too is a unity of opposites

We have been debating tirelessly on different ways to abolish caste and other social evils which permeate the society that we have today. Raising voices against oppression, forming political parties and contesting in elections and also trying to force the government to form and implement policies which will give the Bahujans their fundamental rights. We have come a long way through decades of struggle in gaining rights, but the present political scenario of the country is not looking hopeful to the Bahujan aspirations for breaking away the shackles of caste.
With the diluting of labour laws and enabling state sanctioned exploitation of Bahujan labour, implementation of NEP which further marginalize the Bahujan children and extinguish their hopes of upward social and economic mobility, a proposed EIA which will rob the Bahujans and Adivasis of their land and livelihood, implementation of CAA and NRC to deprive the status of citizenship, privatization of key public utilities and destroying the already weakened public healthcare system, the government is openly showing its motives as a corporate stooge which dances to the whims of Adani, Ambani and other Brahmin Bania masters.
Armed with a grass roots organization like RSS and corporate funded media outlets, they have complete dominance in creating narratives they want the public to believe and they also have a well-oiled IT cell to spread fake news against any dissenters who dare to raise voice against them. Even though there are voices in the society which are raising against these government policies, there is a lack of grass root organization and common vision is sometimes lacking. This doesn’t mean that all the opposing forces against the fascist regime, which is murdering our democracy, should be centralized under one political entity. Instead it is time to think about exactly the opposite, the expansion of the idea of democracy from merely being a political tool used while casting vote once every 5 years to inculcating an idea of democracy in all aspects of life — political, social and economical and decentralization of all aspects of society.
Anarchism is a political philosophy which rejects all coercive and oppressive forms of hierarchy, be it caste, class, color, creed, clan, gender, age, orientation or country. It says that every system of power hierarchy should be scrutinized and made to justify its existence, and any system which fails to justify itself and is trampling the freedom of the individual will have to be abolished. The idea of questioning oppressive power structures is inherent to the idea of anarchism. It prohibits a system where even a party or a few leaders decide on how the society will function. Instead it focuses on decentralizing power to local bodies and communities so that decisions are made at the lowest level possible, thus eliminating the concentration of power into a few hands. It also shares the view that people who are most impacted by policies and decisions are the ones who are most capable of making them.
Historically, humans have developed to live in societies which didn’t have the kind of huge inequalities as it exists today. There is an intrinsic instinct to cooperate and help each other which is visible when a disaster strikes or the self-organization that appears out of nowhere in organic movements against oppression. Solidarity and mutual aid are the foundations of an anarchist society. The “right to well-being” of all human beings, meaning “the possibility of living like human beings, and of bringing up children to be members of a society better than ours” (Kropotkin, 1892). Two of the examples of societies which function close to anarchist principles today are Zapatistas of Mexico (Nacional, 2002) and Rojava in Syria (Democracy, 2018). Extreme corruption, colonization and environmental exploitation forced the indigenous people of Mexico to form an autonomous region where people directly form communities and decide the policies. Similarly, the people of Rojava, battered by the civil war, have formed an autonomous region with direct democratic ambitions based on an anarchist and libertarian socialist ideology promoting decentralization, gender equality, environmental sustainability and pluralistic tolerance for religious, cultural and political diversity based on democratic confederalism. One of the principles of direct democracy is that there are no elected representatives for a fixed term, any member who is elected will just be a spokesperson of the community and can be withdrawn immediately if he goes against the decision taken by discussion and deliberations. The means of production will be owned by workers and run by worker councils. Conflict resolution mechanism and alternative systems of judiciary exists within the community run by the members. There won’t be police or other systems which grant power to one person or group to take away the life and liberty of an individual, rather power will be distributed equally or rotationally which is controlled by the community. During the current times of BLM protests all over the world, it is clear that the police institution is just a tool employed by the ruling and propertied class to control the lower class and there is mass class for defunding the police and transferring the resources to community welfare projects.
We need to look at how these communities organize themselves in the face of an oppressive regime and come up with innovative ways to decentralize and create institutions which we are brainwashed to assume will work only if they are centralized. Decentralized community gardens provide food for the community which is maintained by them. Systems of education, community defense, criminal justice systems, industry and healthcare can be decentralized and we need to focus our efforts in building such grassroot level communities which function along the principles solidarity and mutual aid. We already have systems of mutual aid in our communities, all we need to do is to transfer these tendencies to all the systems we live by.
The Indian social mentality of following a leader or waiting for a savior needs to change. Any system which can consolidate power in the hands of the few can change into authoritarianism. Even if the leaders are benevolent and have the will to serve the people, there are systems of coercion which exist in our society, where economic, political and social power resides in the hands of the few, that they will bind the leaders from doing their duty to the Bahujans. The leaders and parties we look up to keep failing and disappointing us time and again. Now, action needs to be taken directly at grass root level by the Bahujans by creating communities and networks of solidarity and mutual aid and practicing decision making and direct participatory democracy. The culture of outsourcing decision making to politicians or other ruling class needs to stop. This has to start at all sectors of industry, agriculture and services too, and also within family.
We can’t turn to the state for protection anymore as it the state apparatus which is being systematically abused by the ruling castes to exploit Bahujan labour to create their wealth. Along with the efforts to educate Bahujans through social media and other means to sensitize them of their exploitation, effort needs to be focused at the bottom most level to inculcate the habit of participatory democracy at individual, family and community levels, respecting the liberty of the individual. The fight for annihilation of caste cannot be won, unless all unjust power structures in the society cease to exist and power is decentralized and distributed to the people directly, where individuals themselves can organize and make decisions about their life without being coerced or exploited to create wealth for others.

Excerpt from this story from Inside Climate News:
Amid the corporate events pervading New York’s “Climate Week,” an international people’s tribunal held an emotional hearing that spotlighted the ecosystems and people living in the shadow of fossil fuel projects.
Representatives from communities around the world, scientists and advocates told stories of human and nonhuman forced displacement, degraded heath, ruined economies and lost histories to the International Tribunal on the Rights of Nature on Sunday.
In India, coal mines are degrading the habitat of endangered elephants sacred to Adivasi Indigenous people. In Louisiana, petrochemical facilities are being built on sacred grave sites. In East Africa, construction of a new oil pipeline is displacing communities and slicing through the homes of giraffes, lions and hippopotamuses. And in Peru, communities that have endured decades of crude oil production and more than 1,000 oil spills are facing down installation of a new refinery and expanding operations.
The testimonies, sweeping in both their global reach and in the harms alleged, were gathered to create a repository of evidence linking the “fossil fuel era” to violations of humans’ and nature’s rights.
The tribunal, now in its sixth session since 2014, is designed to probe alleged violations of the 2010 Universal Declaration on the Rights of Mother Earth, which recognizes nature as a living being with inherent rights, including the rights to exist and evolve.
“Just as human beings have human rights, all other beings also have rights which are specific to their species,” the nonbinding declaration says. The declaration was written during a 2010 people’s conference in Cochabamba, Bolivia, following a disappointing United Nations climate summit in Copenhagen a year earlier.
The tribunal is part of the growing “rights of nature” movement, which since 2006 has also created binding laws and judicial precedent recognizing nature’s rights. Today, more than a dozen countries have such laws on the books, including Ecuador, Panama, Spain, New Zealand, Brazil, Colombia and Uganda. But few countries have taken steps to enforce the laws.
The advocacy group Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature created the tribunal to showcase how a legal system recognizing nature’s rights might work. Past hearings have taken on cases like the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, lithium mining in Chile’s Atacama Desert and the impact of free trade agreements on the environment. In each case, “defendant” companies and governments are invited to participate but generally decline to do so. Though the rulings are nonbinding, the tribunal’s website says its work pressures governments by drawing international attention to issues.

Support the Indian Revolution! Down with Operation Kagaar!
Robert Reid | Chairperson FFPS On May 24, eight peasants of the indigenous Adivasi people were brutally arrested and executed by state forces in the state of Chhattisgarh, India. This brutal episode is only one of the many fascist attacks by the Indian state against the Adivasi people and opponents of the state in the last months. Operation Kagaar, the name of the broader “counterinsurgency” operation, has as of June 2024 taken the lives of more than 130 people, with many more victims of harassment, abductions, displacement, torture, and rape. The indigenous Adivasis live in remote areas that are extremely rich in natural resources, like the Dandakaranya forest. Due to this wealth, the Adivasis have been facing displacement and oppression by the Indian state, on behalf of national and international capital, for decades. The Adivasi people and their allies have been bravely resisting this imperial plunder. The strongest force in this has been the revolutionary movement led by the Communist Party of India (Maoist). Since 2004 the CPI (Maoist) and the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) have been waging people’s war against the Indian state, feudal oppression and exploitation, and imperial domination. The revolutionary movement has been deeply rooted among the Adivasis in their fight for the environment, ancestral land, and livelihood. They have been such a big threat to the national and international capital that the Indian state has named it the ‘biggest internal security threat’ of India. In a desperate attempt to destroy the revolutionary movement and to displace the Adivasis from their rich lands, the Indian state has been committing a decade-long genocide on the Adivasis. Operation Kagaar is just the latest in this series of “counterinsurgency” operations. In response to the current operation Kagaar, the CPI (Maoist) and the International Committee to Support the People’s War in India (ICSPWI) have called for a campaign to oppose the Operation Kagaar and to support the resistance of the Adivasi people, with the people’s war as its highest expression. The call has been answered by many struggling peoples all around the world, including by the revolutionary movement in the Philippines which has declared a month of solidarity with the Indian people’s struggle. We as Friends of the Filipino People in Struggle celebrate these concrete expressions of international solidarity with other oppressed and exploited peoples of the world ,and also stand in solidarity with the Indian people’s struggle, in particular with the revolutionary movement and the Adivasi masses. As we stand together to expose the genocidal operation Kagaar, we know that for as long as the Indian masses are exploited and oppressed, they will continue to resist. So let’s celebrate their people’s resistance and their revolution, as we recognize it as a just and necessary effort of the Indian people to liberate themselves and achieve a genuine peace! From India to the Philippines, stop the bombings! From India to the Philippines, victory to the resistance! Stop Operation Kagaar! Long live international solidarity!

Its spokesperson Pratap in a statement released to the media on Monday claimed the attack was a “befitting reply to the recently launched ‘Operation Kagaar-Surya Shakti’ by the Brahmanical Hindutva fascist rulers to eradicate the Maoist movement and to the ongoing onslaught on adivasis”. The PLGA fighters along with thousands of revolutionary masses executed the raid. In the three-hour raid, the guerillas fired more than 600 grenade launcher shells and other country-made grenades with rapid firings on the CRPF camp, he said.
Pratap claimed that as many as 35 security personnel were killed and more than 40 were seriously injured. Prior to the raid, the guerillas took the entire periphery of the camp under their control. The locals disabled the movement of additional forces by blocking the roads with huge tree logs and the militia kept landmines to attack the incoming forces. A Maoist Commander Devalu, battalion member Vikram and People’s militia member Madkam Devalu were killed during the raid. Police officials, the State and Central governments were silent regarding the raid and trying to keep the details of casualties on their side in darkness, he alleged.

All speak in creation. All living and non-living beings have access to gestures, sounds and music that constitute any language. But linguists often credit only humans with the capacity for language, despite knowing it’s not solely their creation. Language, in fact, is the music of creation (the cosmos) created in equity altogether. Not only Adivasi ones, but languages created by every human society on the planet have been sourced from natural environments, experiences, relationships with the biosphere, everyday activities, art skills and techniques. We Adivasis make use of this musical language in many forms and ways, which then constitute the making of our oral tradition. Our oral literature. This is why we Adivasis address this collective tradition, which includes the oral literature of our ancestors, and today’s written modern literature, as orature and orature cannot be considered to be ‘folk literature’.
As non-Adivasi literature constantly looks upon ‘folk literature’ in isolation from ‘people/folks’, folk literature often ends up denoting an illiterate, rural society, unfamiliar with script and grammar, whose culture lags compared to city folk. Cultures considered simple because their language knows no twists.
From a philosophical standpoint, it is far more complex to define ‘folk’. In philosophy, there is both ‘worldly’ and ‘otherworldly’, both reality and imagination. The ‘folk’ in non-Adivasi societies and civilisations belongs to either humans or gods. ‘Folk’ is a mishmash of earth, sky, underworld and heaven. Indian philosophy and literature have such a conceptualisation of ‘folk’.
Among Adivasis, ‘folk’ doesn’t hold a similar conception. Here ‘folk’ is reality. There is no space for fantasy and the unreal in their world. This is why Adivasis do not categorise or keep their literature in the ambit of ‘folk literature’. They call it purkha sahitya (literature of the ancestors). In Hindi, their literary tradition, (which includes both ancestral and modern-day literature), is called ‘Vachikta’. In English, orature. Because orature isn’t just language, but rather sounds, letters, music, movements and songs. It comprises the languages of animals-birds, rivers-mountains, forests-settlements, planets, sun, moon and the wind. And all this is real, absolutely true. No element is supernatural or even divine. Not miraculous. Each of our moments is connected to all these elements of the cosmos, and we touch and feel them in our day-to-day life. This is why the cultural world of Adivasis is artistic, multicoloured, and multilingual.
Without knowing the nature of language, its mutual associations, the nature of its duets, and its innate contradictions, it is not easy to understand the oratorial tradition, Adivasi ancestral literature and its modern-day works. Speculating from the criteria of so-called mannerly, modern literature, from the aesthetic norms of Hindi literature and culture of India is fruitless.
The conceptions of Adivasi philosophy are different from dominant Western, Indian or Marxist ideas. It neither accepts ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’ like the East nor truth and beauty as in the West. Nor does it consider human beings as the eternal truth like Marxists and Dalits. Adivasi philosophy is creationist and naturalist. Adivasi society holds the highest value for known-unknown directions, disciplines, and provisions of the planet, nature and cosmos. There are no concepts around truth-falsity, beauty-ugliness or human-inhuman in their philosophy. It doesn’t consider humans to be great because of their intelligence or ‘humanity’. It firmly believes that everything living and non-living in the universe is equal. Neither is anyone big nor small. All things present in the universe are meaningful and have equity in existence, whether an insect, a plant, a stone or a human being. It accepts knowledge, reason, experience and materiality within the discipline of nature, not against it. Adivasi philosophy does not look at exploration, testing and knowledge in terms of convenience and usefulness, but as symbiotic harmony and existential association with the earth, nature and the entire living world. It looks at the activities and behaviours of the human world, the entire evolutionary process, not against nature and existence but complementing it. It brings things to utility as long as there is no sense of serious damage to any object or creation, to nature and the earth. It follows that there is no degradation or decay of nature and life.
Adivasis don’t fall into the lingual traps of modernity. In their philosophical tradition, they are more realistic and scientific than any society. They never search for truth, experiment with truth and look for humanity. For them, the sun is the sun, the moon is the moon. Water is water. Blood is blood. Human is human.
This is why Adivasi literature cannot be divided into ‘folk literature’ and ‘Nobel literature’. It stays in unanimity. Adivasi thinkers and writers around the world consider their oral and written literature to be inseparable. The difference in thoughts between tradition and modernity in non-Adivasi literature finds no ground in Adivasi society. The coming of new material resources does not completely change a tradition. It doesn’t bring forth any substantial change in one’s philosophy of life. The making of vision, aesthetics and philosophy does not occur overnight. This process is extremely slow and long. From this point of view, the concept of modernity seems like an illusion. If the coming of technical inventions and luxuries like fridges, TVs, mobile phones and the internet guaranteed ‘modernity’ then there’d be no killings in the name of race, religion, caste or gender in Indian society. There wouldn’t have been such continuity in atrocities and discrimination against women, Adivasis, Dalits and backward communities. Our daily behaviour is governed by our philosophy, not by motorcycles, scooters and cars. Air conditionerss can only regulate temperatures outside oneself, not value systems, thoughts and ideas. Those result from one’s philosophical tradition and religious philosophy.
Adivasi literature is the bearer of its philosophical tradition. There is no place for false modernity with the glitter of materialism there. Marathi Adivasi author, Vahru Sonvane, says, “It is incongruous from the point of view of Adivasis for literature to only be written. Thousand-year-long traditions have never stopped. Those traditions are still an integral part of Adivasi life in an inseparable way.”
Mamang Dai, Arunachali adivasi writer, writes, “I am Adivasi, and geography and landscape, the myths and stories of our ancestors… all of these shape my thought process.”
Canadian Aboriginal thinker and author, Akiwanji Dame, says, “Literature is a creative activity. Literature as a unit of creativity is a part of our culture, and we always express it through many ways and mediums. By singing, speaking or writing, all are ultimately part of a unique creativity’.
The oratorial art and literary practices of Adivasis are a set of diverse art forms in which nature plays a major and assured role alongside all other art forms. In the art traditions of the Adivasi world, dancing is necessary for playing, playing music is necessary for dancing, singing is necessary for playing music, and singing, dancing and playing are not possible without the natural habitat. Water, forest and land are the main elements of Adivasi philosophy and art. To look at Adivasi orature in isolation from all these is to deny its philosophical discourse.

Tribal Empowerment in India
Tribal Empowerment in India?
Tribal empowerment in India is a complex issue that combines cultural preservation, economic progress, and social justice for the country's enormous tribal population. Tribal communities, which make up over 104 million people (8.6% of the total population), are an essential element of India's cultural and historical environment. This blog digs at the various aspects of Tribal Empowerment, the challenges that these communities confront, and government initiatives to help them grow.
Who We Are?
From the bottom of our hearts, we extend a warm welcome to you into the Paras Parivaar Charitable Trust family. In our Sanatan Dharm, this Parivaar was founded and is now being maintained by our Mahant Shri Paras Bhai Ji of Sanatan Dharm to contribute to the welfare of the underprivileged and needy people. Because he consistently states, "happiness of maa is behind their smile." This idea of Mahant Shri Paras Bhai Ji has become the focus of our family's daily activities.
The Paras Parivaar Charitable Trust works 365 days a year to lug our Paras Guru's vision forward. We have helped more than 10 lakh Needy, and thanks to Maa and our Mahant Shri Paras Bhai Ji of Sanatan Dharm, this number is steadily rising. And it is the grandeur of Sanatan Dharm that we strive to assist those who cannot afford to pay for their education or who are food insecure.
Because we usually hear the quote "Unity is Strength" in everyday life, the Paras Parivaar Charitable Trust would like for you to join our family. We are certain that if we all work together as a single family, we will be stronger and more committed to helping more people in need. Serving an increasing number of individuals in need will enable us to carve out a large place in the heart of our Maa. So, join the Paras Parivaar now for the chance of a lifetime to make the poor and needy smile widely.
Working hard to boost the lives of the poor and needy would also help us reduce the rate of poverty and increase the rate of education in our nation. In addition to providing aid to those in need, our Mahant Shri Paras Bhai Ji wants to educate them so that they may become self-sufficient and contribute to the cause. join our Paras Parivaar Charitable Trust and aid those in need and destitute with what they need for food, shelter, and education.
Context of History
Tribal people in India have a long history and have contributed significantly to the country's freedom effort. Their various cultures, dialects, and traditions add to India's diversity. Historical movements such as the Khasi-Garo and Mizo movements highlight tribal groups' active participation in shaping the nation's history. The recognition of their achievements has resulted in initiatives such as the Janjatiya Gaurav Divas, which is commemorated each year on November 15 to honour the legacy of tribal freedom fighters like Bhagwan Birsa Munda.
Government Initiatives
Eklavya Model Residential Schools: Approximately 750 schools are being created to expand educational opportunities for tribal children with the aim of improving literacy rates and educational attainment.
Cultural Preservation: The establishment of Zonal Cultural Centres (ZCCs) and the promotion of tribal languages and arts are crucial for preserving tribal heritage. The government provides grants to support these initiatives, including the development of bilingual primers and tribal literature.
Economic Development: The Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM JANMAN) was established with a budget of around ₹24,000 crore to promote the development of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG). This program aims to improve lives, healthcare, and education in these areas.
Market Integration: Initiatives like the Aadi Mahotsav, a national tribal festival, aim to strengthen tribal craftsmen' marketing abilities and promote their products, resulting in increased income and economic participation in the mainstream market.
The Difficulties Tribal Communities Face��
Despite these initiatives, tribal communities continue to face significant challenges:
Land Rights: Development projects, mining, and urbanization have cost many indigenous tribes their traditional lands. Securing land rights is vital for their survival and cultural identity.
Healthcare Access: Tribal groups frequently live in rural places with limited access to healthcare services, resulting in greater infant mortality and Poor Health outcomes.
Disparities in Education: Although indigenous literacy rates have improved, they remain lower than the national average. Customized educational programs are required to meet the unique needs of tribal students.
Economic Marginalization: Tribals are frequently unable to reach marketplaces, which forces them to charge poor rates for their goods. Improving their marketing abilities and incorporating them into the larger economy is essential to raising their standard of living.
To summarize, tribal empowerment in India involves more than just economic development; it is about recognising and honoring tribal populations' unique cultural legacy while safeguarding their rights and involvement in the nation's advancement. The government's actions are a beginning in the right direction, but long-term efforts are required to solve the underlying issues that these communities face.

Making the Switch to Natural Hair Care
Switching to natural hair care products like Adivasi Hair Oil can be a transformative experience. If you’ve been using synthetic products for a long time, your hair might need some time to adjust. During this transition period, it's important to be patient and consistent. Here are some tips to help you make the switch smoothly:
Gradual Transition: Introduce Adivasi Hair Oil gradually into your routine. Start by using it once a week and then increase the frequency as your hair gets used to the natural ingredients.
Detox Your Hair: Consider using a natural hair detox treatment to remove the buildup of synthetic chemicals from your hair and scalp. This will help your hair absorb the nutrients from Adivasi Hair Oil more effectively.
Pair with Natural Shampoos: Use mild, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners that complement the natural properties of Adivasi Hair Oil. Avoid products with harsh chemicals that can counteract the benefits of the oil.
Stay Consistent: Natural products often take longer to show results compared to their synthetic counterparts. Stick with your new routine, and give your hair time to adjust and respond to the natural care.
Benefits Beyond Hair
While Adivasi Hair Oil is primarily known for its hair benefits, its natural ingredients can also contribute to overall well-being. The relaxing ritual of massaging the oil into your scalp can help reduce stress and promote better sleep. The nourishing properties of the oil can also improve the health of your scalp, which is essential for preventing issues like dandruff and dryness.
The Importance of Scalp Health
A healthy scalp is the foundation of healthy hair. Adivasi Hair Oil not only nourishes the hair strands but also takes care of the scalp. The antimicrobial properties of neem help keep the scalp clean and free from infections, while the soothing effects of coconut oil and hibiscus provide relief from dryness and irritation. By maintaining a healthy scalp, Adivasi Hair Oil ensures that your hair grows strong and resilient.
Cultural Appreciation and Respect
Using Adivasi Hair Oil is also an opportunity to appreciate and respect the cultural heritage from which it originates. It’s important to use such products with an understanding and respect for the traditions and communities that have developed them over generations. This respect ensures that the benefits of these natural remedies are enjoyed while honoring their cultural significance.
DIY Hair Care with Adivasi Hair Oil
For those who enjoy DIY beauty treatments, Adivasi Hair Oil can be incorporated into various homemade hair care recipes. Here are a few ideas:
Deep Conditioning Mask: Mix Adivasi Hair Oil with mashed avocado and honey. Apply this mask to your hair, leave it on for 30 minutes, and then rinse off with a mild shampoo. This mask provides deep conditioning and hydration.
Hair Growth Booster: Combine Adivasi Hair Oil with a few drops of rosemary essential oil. Massage this blend into your scalp to stimulate hair growth and improve circulation.
Overnight Treatment: Apply Adivasi Hair Oil generously to your scalp and hair before bed. Cover your hair with a shower cap or towel to protect your bedding. Wash it off in the morning for deeply nourished and soft hair.
Sharing the Benefits
Once you’ve experienced the benefits of Adivasi Hair Oil, sharing your positive experiences with friends and family can help spread the word about this natural treasure. Encouraging others to try natural hair care products can contribute to a broader movement towards healthier and more sustainable beauty practices.

Standing with the Adivasi People and the People's War in India
Since the founding of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) in 2004, the Indian state has unfurled relentless counterinsurgency operations, including Operation Green Hunt and Operation SAMADHAN-Prahar, in hopes of destroying the revolutionary movement. The Indian government has liberally used the 1967 Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) against those it accuses of having links to the CPI (Maoist). Like the Anti-Terrorism Act in the Philippines, which has been used to suppress dissent and target those suspected of links to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and the New People's Army (NPA), this law allows for warrantless arrests and extended periods of detention, robbing the people of basic human rights in the name of "security." Under Narendra Modi’s fascist Brahmanic Hindutva regime, the repression against the people has only intensified.
India is considered a key partner in advancing U.S. strategic interests in Asia, particularly in countering China's influence in the region. This partnership includes joint military exercises, military cooperation, and weapons trade. Like the US-Marcos regime in the Philippines, the killings and massacres committed by state forces in the countryside are growing more frequent under the US-Modi regime.
Operation Kagaar, launched in January 2024, is the latest phase of the Indian government's counterinsurgency efforts. There have been numerous instances of harassment, abductions, torture, rape, aerial bombings, and other forms of fascist attacks against the people, particularly targeting the indigenous Adivasis. The Adivasis, comprise over 8% of India's population (104.2 million, roughly the size of the Philippines' population) and encompass more than 600 tribes primarily located in central India. As of June 2024, Operation Kagaar has claimed 130 lives, including the execution of eight Adivasi peasants in Chhattisgarh on May 24, 2024. The operation's focus has been the Abujhmaad (Maad) region in Chhattisgarh, a remote, resource-rich, mountainous area that is a revolutionary stronghold and home to a significant Adivasi population. The revolutionary movement, led by the Communist Party of India (Maoist) and the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), has found strong roots among the Adivasi people, taking up revolutionary struggle to protect their ancestral lands. In 2006, then Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh famously said that the Maoists were India's greatest internal security threat. In 2009, Singh remarked to parliament, “if left-wing extremism continues to flourish in important parts of our country which have tremendous natural resources of minerals and other precious things, that will certainly affect the climate for investment." His words underscore that these attacks on the people are motivated by imperialist plunder. Comrade Venu elaborated further, telling author Arundhati Roy, “They want to crush us, not only because of the minerals, but because we are offering the world an alternative model.” The CPI (Maoist) and the PLGA, through people's war, pose a significant threat to the reactionaries in power by offering the exploited and oppressed masses of the world genuine solutions to their basic problems and a viable alternative to capitalist imperialism. The CPI (Maoist) and the International Committee to Support the People’s War in India (ICSPWI) have called for a campaign to oppose Operation Kagaar and support the resistance of the Adivasi people. The Communist Party of the Philippines, which also wages a people's war and faces many of the same forms of repression including aerial bombings, has declared June 20-July 20, 2024, as a month of solidarity with the Indian struggle.
People Organizing for Philippine Solidarity (POPS) urges all anti-imperialists, progressives, and their organizations, to support the Adivasi people's resistance and the advancement of the people's war in India. We recognize that people's war is critical to ending the reactionary state's counterinsurgency and liberate the broad masses from feudal exploitation and imperialist domination in India, the Philippines, and in all semi-colonial and semi-feudal countries. POPS stands in solidarity with the Indian people in their struggle against fascism, feudalism, imperialism, and the genocidal Operation Kagaar!

I would really love to see Marxists stop supporting these so called "Marxist" parties and organizations, who are really nothing more than right opportunists, simply because such a party raises the red banner. Especially when such organizations are engaged in direct warfare with real revolutionary communist parties and their People's Armies.
One such revisionist party, and a particularly offensive example being the CPI (Marxist) also known as the CPM. While the CPM talks a big game about Marxism and Socialism, waving the red banner and the Hammer and Sickle, they are nothing but a particularly progressive Bureaucrat Comprador Capitalist party in service of imperialism. The so called Socialist Gouvernement of Kerala, the State ruled by the CPI (M) has become infamous for the Kerala Thunderbolts, the CPI (M)'s contribution to the Indian Reserve Forces. The Kerala Thunderbolts are a brutal organization carrying out raids against villages and forced surrenders, in which civilians are kidnapped, and presented as surrendered Maoists and treated as such. In one incident the Thunderbolts fired into a crowd of Adivasis protesting a corporate land seizure of indigenous Adivasi land so that imperialist western mining corporation could mine it for bauxite. The "socialist" Karala State movement which had initially ordered the land seizure, then dumped the Adivasis onto a reservation without even drinkable running water. Such land seizures are common under the CPI (M) with the Karala Thunderbolts brutality during such crimes drawing criticism form even the CPI (M)'s fellow collation members, not enough to do anything, but what should be expected from the other Indian right opportunists? The Kerala Thunderbolts have even gone as far as to collaborate with the organization known as Salwa Judum, a Hindutva aligned fascist paramilitary founded to oppress minorities such as Muslims and fight the Naxalites (or any civilians they declared to be Naxalites) which has approached IDF levels of brutality, and still operates today despite its official disbandment.
Stunts like this exist only to cover up the true nature of the CPI (M) as a revisionist organization without a single shred of revolutionary continent. It is an organization that has completely abandoned Marxism and the Indian workers and peasants and has instead colluded with even the most reactionary of India's parties, held open the doors of imperialism within its states and waged war against its own Adivasis and Dalits as well as the true revolutionaries of the CPI (Maoist). Untimely these kinds of stunts are nothing but hollow symbols, rising to red flag to attack the red forces.
Such is proven by the stance of the masses themselves on the CPI (M) as can be seen in the Krantikari Adivasi Mahila Sangathan, or the Revolutionary Adivasi Women’s Organization. A Revolutionary Communist Women's organization based in the Adivasi population that exists extensively in many rural states such as Karala, the home base of the CPI (M). The women of the KAMS has thoroughly and wholeheartedly rejected the CPI (M), instead siding with the enemies of the CPI (M), the CPI (Maoist), the so called "Naxal terrorists". Of cores this accusation comes from the Indian state that funds the real terrorists like Salwa Judum, the Karala thunderbolts and the terrorists of operation Greenhunt and now Operation Kaugar against them. All of which have carried out extensive campaigns of terror, killing and rape of women and girls along with village burnings, land seizures and forced surrenders, all while defending imperialist mining corporations, the sex trade and feudal landlords.
The CPI (Marxist) is nothing more than a particularly progressive faction of the Bureaucrat Compandor Capitalists of India promoting social democratic policies under the banner of the hammer and sickle.
Down with the revisionism CPI (Marxist), Long live the Revolutionary CPI (Maoist), Long live the Aliance of the Workers and Peasants, Long live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism! 🚩
In Kerala India, women formed a nearly 400 mile long "wall" of between 3 to 5 million women, organized in part by the Communist Party of India (marxist), as they fight for gender equality in India and against religious gender segregation
