MEL April 16-30 2011
Elections in West Bengal: Bengal needs change of system
Bengal definitely needs change. The issue is this. Will replacing the Left Front government by a TMC Congress government address the problems of workers and peasants of Bengal? Or the entire political and economic system needs radical transformation? The Communist Ghadar Party of India firmly believes that the entire political and economic system needs radical transformation, a Navnirman of the Indian state and society. The line pursued by the CPI(M) and the Left Front it leads have been a biggest block to this Navnirman.
Vigorous election campaign by People's Candidate in Tamil Nadu

On the occasion of the 141st birth anniversary of VI Lenin
Fight for the victory of the proletarian revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat!The history of the working class movement of our country has confirmed that revision of the fundamental teachings and conclusions of Marxism Leninism, as well as its dogmatic rendering, have caused harm to the cause of the revolution and communism. Refusal to develop Indian revolutionary theory, thereby falling victim to the Eurocentric outlook that everything from our past is feudal and reactionary, has been a disease afflicting the communist movement in our country, which our Party has diagnosed and is working to overcome.
The Electoral Process needs radical Change
The CGPI utilises the opportunity and platform provided by elections to expose the policies and programs of the state and ruling class, and to promote widespread discussion on the demands and concerns of the working class and people. We clarify to the masses of working people the need for a fundamentally new political system and process that can actually empower the working masses and ensure their prosperity and security.
Call for a fundamental change in the system
In a hard-hitting speech, Prakash Rao drew the attention of the audience to the manifold ills that have plagued the system of representative democracy in place in our country, over the last 65 years, and conclusively showed that the solution to the problems of the workers, peasants and toiling masses lies in bringing about a fundamental change in the political system, political process and institutions
The reality of the Right to Education Act
Under the garb of a 'fundamental right', India's education system is being made even more discriminatory and class divided, giving in to the 'right' demanded by capitalists to make profits from every sphere of social activity, including education. The real aim underlying the RTE Act is to fulfil capitalist greed – not the fundamental right of all workers, peasants and their sons and daughters.
Condemn US-NATO aggression on Libya
The mass media has been constantly promoting the notion that "Muammar Gaddafi is killing his own people", and is a "vicious dictator", and "they have to invade to save lives". This is classic Anglo-American rubbish which was also touted before invading Afghanistan, Iraq and the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999.

Scramble for Libyan Oil Reserves
Why are the imperialists so desperate to get rid of Gaddafi and install a pliant regime?
