By LEON PLATT.
THE revolutionary situation in India now oc-
cupies the center of the anti-mperialist
and national emancipation struggle of the
colonial masses. The colonial question is one
of the most essential parts of our Comintern
program.
Among the basic factors that led to the
formation of our Third Communist Interna-
tional was precisely the capitalization of the
revolutionary Marxist position on the colonial
question. In the struggle of Comrade Lenin
against the social imperialists of the Second
International, the correct revolutionary atti-
tude of the proetariat to the struggles of the
oppressed colonial masses was one of the key
questions.
Therefore, any attempt to deviate from the
correct feminist position on the colonial ques-
ton, represents serious programatic differ
ence which we must merciessly combat and
expose. Among those who today revise the
feminist position on the colonial question is
the international right wing, expelled from the
Comintern.
At the beginning of the open revolutionary
struggle of the renegade Lovestone group,
they advanced the charge that the Comintern
and the American Communist Party are re-
vising the Sixth World Congress decisions.
They stated: "In an immediate sense, our fight
presents itself as fight to defend the line of
the Sixth Congress" Revolutionary Age
No. 2.)
The very development of this renegade group
has proven that this demagogy was advanced
in order to mislead the Party membership and
cover up their anti-Communist position. The
position of Lovestone and the international
right wing on the Indian revolution clearly ex-
poses their petty bourgeois nationalist orienta-
ton, and also shows who revises, not only the
Sixth World Congress decisions on the colonial
question, but the very program of the COMM
tern
At the very outset it is necessary to remark
that the international theoretician of the right
wing, Mr.. Roy who provided Lovestone with
the political perspectives on the Indian revolu-
ton, openly fought the Sixth World Congress
decisions and the Comintern program. Mr..
Roy himself stated that the so-called "crsis"
in the Comintern is as result not of the rev-
sion of the Sixth World Congress, but of the
application of this line.
q. the Sixth Congress laid the basis
for the ultra-left putch tactics. -"
"The crisis in the C. l. has been caused
no more by the imagined revision of the
Sixth Congress line than by the simple adop-
ton of the line" IN. N. Roy, Revolutionary
Age No. 10.)
Who Can Carry Through the Agrarian
Revolution.
India is primarily an agrarian country. The
overwhelming majority of its population is
employed land. Agriculture is the basic
feature of Indian economy. The problem that
faces this majority of the population is to con-
fiscate the land of the feudal landowners, the
abolition of taxes, the liberation of the count
less millions held in virtual slavery by the
native princes. In other words, the agrarian
revolution, the destruction of the pre-capitalist
relationships in production is the main task
of the Indian masses today.
g.. the agrarian revolution constitutes
the axis of the bourgeois democratic revolu-
