Against Modi’s Massacre of Communists, Internationalists Must Rise!

In India’s “Red Corridor,” a marginalized expanse in the heart of the nation, the Communist Party of India (Maoist) faces a genocidal onslaught from Narendra Modi’s regime. These fighters are the voice of the dispossessed—tribal Adivasis and Dalits stripped of land and resources. Yet Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) brand them “terrorists,” cloaking their blood-soaked military campaigns in the lie of “national security.” The true terrorism lies with Modi’s government, and its slaughter of CPI(Maoist) warriors is the ugliest, bloodiest chapter in a litany of crimes against the people. On May 21, 2025, Comrade Nambala Keshav Rao, the party’s general secretary, fell alongside 27 comrades in Narayanpur under the regime’s butcher’s knife. We salute these martyrs!

Today, we must rip off Modi’s hypocritical mask! The CPI (Maoist) warriors are no threat to India— they are the shield of the oppressed, the banner of resistance! The real enemy is India’s vampiric capitalist system, a corrupt machine devouring the poor. Modi’s bullets may steal the lives of martyrs, but they will never extinguish the revolutionary flame! From the Red Corridor to the Ganges plains, the oppressors’ lies will be shattered by the people’s roar! Rise up! Let the blood of Comrade Rao and the 27 martyrs fuel a wildfire to burn this man-eating system to ashes! The revolution will never surrender!

Modi’s Crackdown: Clearing the Path for Big Capital

Since Modi’s ascent, the Maoists have faced unprecedented repression. In 2024, “Operation Kagar” turned Chhattisgarh’s Abujhmad forests and Karregutta hills into a warzone, with 40,000 troops, drones, and helicopters. Official data reports over 360 Maoists killed between 2024 and 2025, displacing tens of thousands of tribal people.

Why is Modi so obsessed with crushing the Maoists? The answer lies in a filthy political- economic logic. Since 2014, the BJP, backed by big industrial capital, has pushed neoliberal reforms to pave the way for mining giants, real estate barons, and multinationals. Capital shifted from the Indian National Congress to the BJP, fueling Modi’s rise. The Red Corridor, rich in coal and iron ore, is prey for global capital. The Maoists, opposing land theft and environmental destruction, threaten these profiteers’ interests. Thus, under the guise of “national security,” Modi’s “Operation Green Hunt” and “Operation Kagar” unleash mass repression. Many “Maoists” killed are innocent tribals, with security forces accused of staging “fake encounters” to mask ethnic cleansing driven by capital

Modi’s crackdown serves capital while consolidating centralized power to fast-track capitalist modernization. The BJP’s Hindutva nationalism stokes “internal threat” fears to rally voters. Maoist suppression is sold as a “security triumph,” masking economic injustice. Centralized policies like the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and state budget restrictions erode local autonomy, clashing with the Maoists’ localized resistance model, which must be eradicated. The BJP’s “development projects”—17,600 km of roads and 234 schools—prioritize military penetration and corporate interests over tribal welfare. Traditional land rights are stripped, villages militarized, and communities shattered, allowing capital to plunder through real estate and industrialization. This is the BJP’s legitimacy: it parades Maoist heads to prove to the bourgeoisie it can crush any obstacle to profit—be it agrarian capital, petty bourgeoisie, pre-modern farmers, tribals, or leftist alternatives.

Amid soaring unemployment and tribal land dispossession, the BJP diverts attention by demonizing “internal enemies” to consolidate support. This vile tactic sacrifices the masses for regime stability. Moreover, by targeting journalists, scholars, and activists—labeling them “urban Maoists”—the BJP stifles dissent. The 2018 nationwide raids on leftists exposed the party’s authoritarian core.

A Call to Global Solidarity

We honor the martyrs of the CPI(Maoist)! Their blood and sacrifice are etched in our hearts, fueling our fight for justice. We cannot tolerate Modi’s barbaric slaughter of innocent people or the collusion of capital and violence to crush the oppressed. Internationalists, we must act! Support the CPI(Maoist)’s struggle, expose Modi’s crimes, and stand with the resistance!

Modi’s regime is fragile because it fears the truth. To hide its sins, it resorts to censorship, staged narratives, and propaganda. We call on the global community—especially those opposing Modi’s fascist BJP—to mobilize. Create and spread propaganda: first, champion the CPI (Maoist)’s just cause; second, expose the war criminals behind the crackdowns and their scandals to discredit Modi’s regime. Use AI to craft songs, translate content, and break language barriers, sharing these with communist groups supporting the Maoists to overcome censorship.
