PARTY PROGRAMME

The Party Programme adopted by the All India Special Conference reaffirmed the basic political positions taken by the 8th Congress of CPI (M-L) in 1970. The Programmer asserted:

• India is a semi-feudal, semi-colonial society; here the New Democratic Revolution has to be completed victoriously paving way to the Socialist Revolution and to advance towards the ultimate goal of Communism.
• The Indian people are weighed down by three big mountains: feudalism, imperialism and comprador bureaucrat capital; these are the targets to be overthrown in the present stage of NDR.
• The four major contradictions in the present-day Indian society are: the contradiction between feudalism and the broad masses; the contradiction between imperialism and the Indian people; the contradiction between capital and labour and the contradiction within the ruling classes. While the first two are fundamental contradictions to be resolved through the NDR, the contradiction between feudalism and the broad masses is the principal contradiction at the present stage.
• India is a multi-national country--a prison-house of nationalities and all the nationalities have the right to self-determination including secession. When NDR is victoriously completed, India will become a voluntary and genuine federation of all national people's republics.
