NON VIOLENCE MOVEMENT: UNARMED STRUGGLE


In this book, the author has tried to theorize the new concept. That is theory
of Revolutionary class struggle for emancipation of working class and other
toiling masses in form of non-violent movement or unarmed struggle. The
theory of Ahimsa or Non-violence and its methodology was created and
developed from history of Indian mass struggle. This was from ancient time
and relevant till today. It is the uniqueness of Indian history. So, author has
tried to fuse Marxian revolutionary class struggle and Non-violence
methodology for revolutionary social change for future Neo-socialism as a
transition path for communism. Now, we have to say some truth about Nonviolence struggle.
Though M.K.Gandhis methodology of non-violent struggle was the main
stream of prolonged Indian freedom struggle but this freedom struggle was
not always in non-violent from. In long history of freedom struggle, many
insurrections like peasants struggle, Sipahi mutiny (first Independent war of
India----Karl Marx) were not through non-violent form. Moreover, the terrorist
revolutionary forces had tried to free India by armed struggle in the era of
20th century of Indian National Freedom Struggle. Apart from this, the two
massive struggles were very important in the history of Indian Freedom
Struggle which shooks whole of India and catalyzed British Imperialism to be
ready for negotiation of power transfer by collaborating with Indian Capitalist
Class. Among these two, one was war for Independence against British
imperialism by I.N.A (Azad Hind Fouj) under the leadership of great patriot
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, another was Indian Naval Revolt. These two
great struggles occurred through armed struggle. Author has great respect
and honor to these entire armed struggles and for them who have given their
lives for cause of liberation for their country. But for changing social condition
and in global nuclear age, author has shown more confidence on non violent
class struggle. Moreover, we have to say very important few words in this
context. Mr. M.K.Gandhis tried every time all those movements for freedom
struggle by non-violent way
(i.e. non cooperation, civil disobedience,
hunger strike, etc.). But in this relation the incidence of Chouri Choura where
a non violent struggle becomes violent after severe oppression of imperialist
police and state apparatus. Mr. M.K.Gandhi had withdrawn this movement at

the torrent of mass upheaval. Tremendous debate was created among most
of the freedom fighter and peoples of India. It was very painful feelings for
most of the people who were struggling for Indian Independence. After few
years in 1942, when M.K.Gandhi became more uncompromising to British
ruler and gave the call of Quit India through non violent struggle. This mass
movement was so massive that it takes the shape of revolution. This was
greatest mass upheaval in the history of Indian Freedom Struggle. In the face
of severe repression, this massive freedom struggle could not stay in nonviolent path and it turns into violent nature.
They uprooted Railway tracks, cutting Telegraph lines, burning post offices,
even capturing police stations. By this way, freedom loving peoples of India
fought against the cruel British Imperialist force. This was very natural
reaction of people. Though there was no preplanned preparation to combat
this oppression in the mind of M.K.Gandhi and his follower leaders, so
maximum suffering was taken by common people and low ranked leaders
who fought courageously for freedom. This struggle shows that hegemony of
concept of independence established among most of the strata of peoples of
India for an independent sovereign national state.
After getting freed from jail, Mr. M.K.Gandhi did not oppose or blamed this
violent nature of peoples reaction. He indicated that it was a very natural
reaction of people against severe repression of British Ruler.
So far in world history, there is no so called revolution for political, social and
economic changes had occurred in genuine non-violent path. This truth is not
unknown to the author. But there are major shift of character of peoples
struggle late 20th and early 21st century. The gravity and strength of unarmed
struggle (in other words non-violent struggle -----David Hardiman in some
issues of EPW of 2013) became more popular among masses in different
countries of this globe. Terrorism was created by imperialist force under the
leadership of US imperialism. Now in this era of globalization and post
globalization, oppressor ruler had got good opportunity to crash any mass
movement and revolutionary struggle by stamping it as terrorist or
separationist , when these movements turns into violent nature. Imperialist
force and capitalist ruler are changing their strategies to crash mass struggle
& revolutionary struggle by new tactics.
At present their strategy is to crash and eradicate terrorism. Though
terrorism is reality today but imperialist force and capitalist masking
themselves with anti-terrorist stand and popularizes them as pro people

ruler. But in reality they are crushing peoples outrage for revolutionary
change for new society which is devoid of class oppression and exploitation.
Co relating all these facts, revolutionary activist and leaders shall have to
rethink their own strategy and tactics to fight against oppressor class. This is
non violent methodology through which mass struggle and class struggle
should be continued till revolutionary phase to come under the leadership of
working class. These class struggles will be directed by communist
revolutionary till that day comes when they shall be leaders of all types of
toiling masses, making working class as hegemonies leader of all different
oppressed people by forming greater alliances of proletariat with other toiling
masses. At the same time, communist revolutionary became representative
of majority of toiling people and they shall reflect the aspiration of freedom,
rights, social justice, and equality and peace. So by this way communist
revolutionaries shall become Modern Prince------ Antonio Gramsci and
established them as regulator and leader of continuous revolution for
changing this society to class less. Communist society through transition
phase of new democratic socialism. In this long journey of revolutionary path,
there shall be many mass movement and class struggle and oppressors will
also take their action to crash this struggle, provocation to take wrong path.
Communist revolutionary should show their sympathy and honor to the
people for their reactions. they have to restrain them from taking misguided
path and organizing people against repression of oppressor bruiting class
and state apparatus. So, communist revolutionary should fix their mind for
ideology on non-violent class struggle for emancipation of human society.
In this book, author has appealed to political
thinkers, writers, and struggling people for organizing mass movements and
class struggle in peaceful and non-violent form. This is a prolong path of
struggle to reach the goal of New Democratic Socialism. This does not mean
peaceful transition of one system (Capitalist order) to another system
(Socialist order). From the discussion of this book, some of our comrade may
come to simplified conclusion that author is dreaming for peaceful revolution
directing others for the same. But the authors view is not like that. It is
indisputable that Ruling and Oppressor class never give up their power in
peaceful manner. They remove their so called democratic and humanist
mask and show their ferocious face of sharp tooth and nail in different stages
of revolution. To combat this, people also reacted accordingly. This is the
lesson of history. Though communist revolution wants for peaceful
revolution, reasonable ruling oppressor class never transfer their power in
the hands of toiling people. In spite of all these facts, the question of seizure

of power, communist revolutionaries should guide masses to develop class


struggle and mass movements in phases of revolutionary social change. In
that phase of revolution, peoples struggle either will be non-violent or violent
in form which will depend upon the ruling class action, that is, their violence,
terror and oppression to the people for combating this, how struggling class
and people will take their steps. This question can only be answered taking
lesson from mass movement and class struggle, people leaded revolution
shall determine final strategy and tactics of Revolutionary Struggle.
