THE Young Communist International in the
name of millions of young workers of the
world, addresses itself to your Congress and
to all young toiers of India on questions of
interest to hundreds of millions of the Indian
people.
The Young Communist International is an
organization of the best representatives of the
toiling youth of IS countries, and has every
where been in the front ranks in the struggle
against capitalism. It's members stood in the
front ranks of the great Chinese revolution,
just as they are fighting now in all parts of
the world for the emancipation of India.
We, as friends and comrades who have
shown in deed our devotion to the interests of
the colonial peoples and the world revolution,
now address ourselves to you
The progressive representatives of the In
dian people, the workers. are actively fighting
against imperialism and exploitation, showing
an example of heroism and tenacity in the
struggle for the liberation Of the Indian people
which has brought them forward as the lead
ers of the Indian Revolution. The spirit of
revolt among the Indian peasantry against the
landlords and imperialists is growing in ma
turity.
The revolutionary struggle of the workers
and peasants of India is only part of the
world struggle against Imperialism, part of
the world revolution. Already imperialism has
lost one-sixth of the globe--the Union of So
cialist Soviet Republics, in which the nations
that inhabt it are building a new life, build
ing up socialism AMI in which all national
hatred has been forgotten. The Soviet Union
is the fatherland of the workers of the world,
the friend of all oppressed peoples in their
liberation war, and just as the imperialists of
the world are preparing for war, against that
cOuntry must the workers of the world r,ra-
pare for its defense.
The activity of the masses of India in the
fight for new life, their herosm, their good
organization, have shown to the world what
events are maturing in India and have at the
same time compelled the liberals, the reform
lists and the imperialists to reckon with the
force of the mass movement Of the workers
and peasants.
The imperialists, as represented by the
Labor Government" Of Great Britain are pre-
pairing weapons and soldiers against the mass
movement of the workers and peasants, will
try to drown their revolutionary struggles in
blood, while playing upon the demands Of the
Indian people by promising Dominion rights
to India in the distant future. The nationalist
bourgeosie, pretending readiness to fight
against imperialism, is in fact throtting the
Indian people and especially it's progressive
championships Indian workers, as seen in the
betrayal of the peasants of Bardoli, the strug-
gle carried on in Bombay against strikes, and
its compromise on the question of Dominican
