On 30th March, this year, Amit Shah was explaining how his government wiped out the Naxal threat in India. He used that chance to propagate the political views in addition to the explanations about the termination of Naxalism.
In his speech, he addressed the lower house of the parliament about the roots of Naxalism in India. He began to showcase his knowledge in front of the citizens of India, NRIs and the people of the world through Loksabha.
Amit Shah said that there was no situation in India then, to originate Communist ideology, Leftist ideology! He said exactly, "Communist ideology", "Leftist ideology". Then he explains in his own way about the Russian revolution! He said the first world war worsened the economic conditions of Russians; there arose poverty , inflation and chaos! According to Amit Shah, all these conditions under Nicholas II led to October revolution and Lenin established Communist state in Russia by the October revolution!
Then Amit Shah moved on to explain Chinese revolution where he said millions of people were under poverty and starvation in China then. In 1921 Chinese communist party was established and led by Mao, People's republic of China was established, Amit Shah said. He drew attention of the members in Loksabha and said, " Please understand what effect it did in India. In the way Communist organisation was formed in Russia, here also Communist party of India was formed in 1925! Now I ask its idealogues here, is there any relationship between the formation of the Communist party in India when a Communist party was formed in Russia? This is a matter to think about"
He continued saying that Russian government went on sponsoring worldwide the formation of communist parties and one of such part was established in India.
Amit Shah said, "The party, whose foundation was inspired from some other country, how that party understand the righteous of our country!"
He said, " They also supported the British! "
As I am someone, who devoted to the ideology of Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Udham Singh, Ashfaqullah Khan, Ramprasad Bismil, Sukhdev etc, it's my duty to respond to Mr. Amit Shah in this.
Here's the excerpt from the Manifesto of Naujawan bharat sabha which was formed by Comrade Bhagat Singh, which was published on 6th April 1926.
"Do you know the wonders worked by the Young Turks? Do you not daily read what the young Chinese are doing? Were it not the young Russians who sacrificed their lives for Russia's emancipation? Throughout the last century hundreds and thousands of them were exiled to Siberia for the mere distribution of socialist pamphlets or, like Dostoyevsky, for merely belonging to socialist debating society. And again they faced the storm of oppression. But they did not lose the courage. It were they, the young only, who fought. And everywhere the young can fight without hope, without fear and without hesitation. And we find today in the great Russia, the emancipation of the world.
While, we Indians, what are we doing? A branch of peepal tree is cut and religious feelings of the Hindus are injured. A corner of a paper idol, tazia, of the idol-breaker Mohammedan is broken, and 'Allah' gets enraged, who cannot be satisfied with anything less than the blood of the infidel Hindus. Man ought to be attached more importance than animals and, yet, here in India, they break each other's heads in the name of 'sacred animals'. Our vision is circumscribed by things in terms of internationalism."
I will definitely come to what the predecessors of your ideology, your party's ideological parent the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Hindu Mahasabha, Savarkar in precise were doing at that time, later!
Now let me introduce you some excerpts from the Manifesto of none other than the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association, which was constituted by Comrade Bhagwati Charan Vohra and finalized by Comrade Bhagat Singh and was distributed on 26th January 1930.
"It is wrong to assign to non-violence the widespread awakening of the masses which, in fact, is manifested wherever a programme of direct action is adopted. In Russia, for instance, there came about widespread awakening in the peasants and workers when the Communists launched forth their great programme of militant mass action, through nobody preached non-violence to them."
This manifesto ends with the slogan of
"LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION"
It's the time of independence struggle in the British India. For the first time in the history of India's independence movement, there came some young revolutionaries who established organizations regardless of religion, caste, colour, language, gender etc. These young one's were, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Bhagwati Charan Vohra, Sachindranath Sanyal, Ashfaqullah Khan, Ramprasad Bismil, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Shiv Verma, Ajoy Ghosh, Durgawati Devi, Udham Singh, Batukeshwar Dutt etc.
These Revolutionaries drew inspiration from the October revolution or Socialist revolution in Russia in1917.
Mr. Amit Shah, did you not insult the revolutionaries who gave their life and many sacrificed their lives with their ideological convictions to emancipate the India from all yokes of exploitations. Their aim was not only to free India from the then British, but to end all exploitation of man by man also!
See how the HSRA notice signed by Comrade Azad completes its message when they avenged the death of Lala Lajpat Rai, with whom these revolutionaries had severe ideological differences, though:
"the sacrifice of individuals at the altar of the Revolution that will bring freedom to all and make the exploitation of man by main impossible, is inevitable.
Long Live The Revolution" !

Dated
18th December, 1928"
Unlike Savarkar, the inspiration of Amit Shah, Modi and Sangh Parivar who pleaded mercy, compromised and collaborated with the British, in February 1933 Batukeshwar Dutt began a hunger strike along with other revolutionaries. All 56 Grade C prisoners joined in support of the hunger strike.
Batukeshwar Dutt along with his comrades started publication of a handwritten magazine and organization of debates and political discussions dedicated to the country's independence. About 35 prisoners together founded the Communist Consolidation. Batukeshwar Dutt, Vijay Kumar Sinha, Shiv Verma, Dr Narayan Rai, Jaidev Kapoor and other revolutionaries were at the centre of these political discussions.
He once again played an active role in the 1942 Quit India movement.
Bhagat Singh himself got an invitation to come to Russia by Comrade Joseph Stalin.
Shaukat Usmani, one of the founding members of the Communist Party of India, carried Stalin's invitation to Bhagat Singh.
Earlier, After the formation of the Communist Party of India in Tashkent, M. N. Roy had sent Usmani to India to meet Indian revolutionaries in India. Usmani came to India and invited Bhagat Singh and his close associate, Bejoy Kumar Sinha, to the Soviet Union to attend the sixth Communist International.
Usmani writes, "I was informed that before they drop armed actions by individuals they would organise some important actions which were already in their list... I told Bejoy Babu (Bejoy Kumar Sinha), ‘Come on, let’s go to Moscow.’ Personally, I believed that Bhagat Singh and Bejoy Sinha’s presence in Moscow would have meant active armed assistance from the Soviet Union.”
Bejoy Kumar Sinha writes, “Shaukat Usmani, who as representative of the Communist Party of India, was about to leave for Moscow to take part in the Sixth Congress of the Communist International, asked me and my associates to come along with him to the Soviet Union as representatives of the revolutionary movement. I discussed his invitation with Bhagat Singh and we decided that it was not the right time. We decided that we will go to Moscow once we had executed our plans.”
Muzzafar Ahmad, co-founder of CPI, says that Sinha gave Usmani Rs.200 to undertake the proposed journey, while Usmani assured him of financial help from the Soviet Union.
Shaukat Usmani went to the Soviet Union where he was included in the Presidium of the historic Sixth Congress of the Communist International in 1928.
After that Comintern, BEFORE HE WAS LEAVING FOR INDIA, STALIN ASKED HIM TO CONVINCE BHAGAT SINGH TO COME TO SOVIET UNION.
Read in Shaukat Usmani's words; according to Usmani, STALIN'S WORDS WERE,
“ASK BHAGAT SINGH TO COME TO MOSCOW.”
As soon as Usmani returned from Moscow, he was arrested in the MEERUT CONSPIRACY CASE which began in March 1929. And Bhagat Singh and his comrades had assassinated John Saunders in December 1928 and were on the run. After the Meerut Conspiracy Case began, Bhagat Singh and B.K Dutt exploded two bombs in the Central Assembly to protest the anti-worker Public Safety and Trade Dispute Bills, and they too courted arrest.
Before the decision to throw bombs in the Central Assembly, other comrades had decided that Bhagat Singh should be sent to the Soviet Union since he was already an absconder in the LAHORE CONSPIRACY CASE. It was decided that some other revolutionary would throw the bomb. However, on the insistence of Sukhdev, Bhagat Singh was chosen for the task as it was agreed that he could present the point of view before the court and in the press in the best possible way.
THEY WERE NOT AWARE THAT COMRADE SHAUKAT USMANI WAS CARRYING A MESSAGE FOR THEM FROM STALIN!
And it was M.N. Roy who first introduced the idea of an Indian Constituent Assembly.
The important thing of this response is to make those aware of the importance of Socialist revolution in Russia and how it directly helped the formation of the republic of India. Another important thing is, to make aware the Indian citizens, youths, children, NRIs and the whole people in the world that what Mr. Amit Shah's party's predecessors were doing when Bhagt Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Ashfaqullah Khan, Rajguru, Udham Singh etc sacrificed their lives for their motherland.
The Hindu Mahasabha was formed in 1915.
In 1930's it began to work as political party under Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.
In 1925, the Ratriya Swayamsevak Sangh was formed.
In 1920's Indian independence struggle was weakened by the communal acts of Hindu Mahasabha, RSS and Muslim League.
Dear readers, Indians and world, you must read 'The essentials of Hindutva', written by V.D.Savarkar in 1923. Savarkar was a revolutionary till he was sent to jail imprisonment. After writing number of mercy petitions, he was managed to come out of jail. That Savarkar, then began to derail the hopes and efforts of all others who were fighting for the freedom of India. One can easily get where the ideas and narratives of today's RSS and BJP come from once you read the above book.
It's in that book Valmiki's Rama, whom many persons across the world, for centuries have been worshipping as a God, was dragged in to politics, to unleash Nazi ideology on Indians.
In his presidential address at the 22nd Session of the Hindu Mahasabha at Madura (1940), Savarkar discussed the efficiency of the Nazi and Fascist systems.
"Nazism proved undeniably the savior of Germany under the set of circumstances Germany was placed in... Surely Hitler knows better than Pandit Nehru does, what suits Germany best. The very fact that Germany or Italy has so wonderfully recovered and grown so powerful as never before at the touch of Nazi or Fascist magical wand is enough to prove that those political ‘isms’ were the most congenial tonics their health demanded."
On the Treatment of Minorities (1938).
In an address at Malabar in 1938, Savarkar drew a parallel between the "Jewish problem" in Germany and the "Muslim problem" in India, suggesting that the German approach to national homogeneity was a valid political strategy.
He said:
"A Nation is formed by a majority living therein. What did the Jews do in Germany? They being in minority were driven out from Germany."
On "Emulating" the Model
Savarkar's "emulation" argument was usually framed through militarization. He urged Hindus to join the British-run Indian Army during WWII—not to support Britain, but to gain the "Nazi-style" discipline and military training necessary to overthrow them later.
He said:
"The very fact that Germany or Italy has so wonderfully recovered... is enough to prove that those political ‘isms’ were the most congenial tonics their health demanded."
Let's see the RSS's links with Nazism and Fascism.
In 'Bunch of thoughts' by M.S. Golwalkar, :
"To keep up the purity of the Race and its culture, Germany shocked the world by her purging the country of the Semitic races—the Jews. Race pride at its highest has been manifested here. Germany has also shown how well-nigh impossible it is for Races and cultures, having differences going to the root, to be assimilated into one united whole, a good lesson for us in Hindusthan to learn and profit by."
Page 35 (1939 Edition).
Golwalkar discusses the concept of "National Race" and references "shrewd old nations" (often interpreted as a reference to the fascist regimes of the time) to explain how minorities should be treated:
"...the foreign races in Hindusthan must either adopt the Hindu culture and language... or may stay in the country, wholly subordinated to the Hindu Nation, claiming nothing, deserving no privileges, far less any preferential treatment—not even citizen’s rights."
Pages 47-48 (1939 Edition).
Amit Shah was very concerned about what some other country's organisation has to do with our country!
More?
Moonje, a key mentor to RSS founder K.B. Hedgewar, saw in Mussolini’s Italy a blueprint for what he called the "military regeneration" of Hindu society.
On March 19, 1931, at 3:00 PM, Moonje met Benito Mussolini at the Palazzo Venezia in Rome.
Moonje told Mussolini, "Your Excellency, I am very much impressed. Every aspiring and growing nation needs such organizations... Italy needs them for her development and prosperity."
Before and after his meeting with the Duce, Moonje toured several key institutions that would later influence his vision for Indian paramilitary training:
Opera Nazionale Balilla (ONB): This was the Fascist youth organization for boys. Moonje spent significant time observing their drills, physical education, and indoctrination methods.
Military Academies: He visited the Accademia della Farnesina and other military schools, noting how the state integrated physical fitness with ideological loyalty.
Upon his return to India, Moonje did not just praise what he saw; he actively sought to "Indianize" the model.
1. Reforming the RSS
While the RSS was founded in 1925 (before Moonje’s trip), his return in 1931 marked a shift toward more rigorous militarization. He held meetings with Hedgewar and other leaders to discuss "standardizing" Hinduism.
The "Ek Chalak Anuvartitva" Principle: This RSS principle—absolute obedience to one leader—mirrored the Fascist Fuhrerprinzip or the authority of the Duce.
Organizational Parallels: Scholars note "uncanny similarities" between the Balilla and the RSS Shakhas, including:
Recruitment of young boys (ages 6–18).
Uniforms and semi-military drills.
Focus on physical culture and "character building" as a precursor to national service.
2. The Bhonsala Military School (1937)
Perhaps the most direct physical emulation of the Italian model was Moonje’s founding of the Central Hindu Military Education Society and the Bhonsala Military School in Nasik.
He explicitly stated that the school was meant to provide "military regeneration" for Hindus.
In his preface to the school's scheme, he cited the youth movements of Germany and Italy as essential models to be adapted to Indian conditions.
So, according to Amit Shah, his party and RSS have no problems in setting up a Nazi model organization in our country but Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, M.N.Roy, Ajoy Ghosh etc got inspired from Russian revolution was an unpardonable crime!
As far as Naxalism or Maoism in India is concerned, there are documents and visual media proofs that CPI and CPI(Marxist) have neither ideological compromises with them nor they anywhere lend support to Naxalism. Moreover, both CPI and CPI(Marxist) have away been critical of the anti-Marxist/Leninism and anti-human path chosen by Naxals. Since the formation, CPI(Marxist-Leninist) is also critical of Naxal activities.
CPI is the first Communist party which formed a government through democratic elections in the world. The E.M.Sankaran Namboothiripad government took oath in 1957 under Indian constitution. CPI, CPIM) and CPI(ML) have members in different state assemblies in our country, formed government in West Bengal, Tripura and Keralam(even now)and people's representatives in the Parliament also even before the birth of Amit Shah’s BJP.
So, after reading this, one can easily understand why Amit Shah dragged Communist ideology to Naxalism and also the sectarian activities done by his party, RSS and entire Sangh Parivar in our country.
Amit Shah agrees that there was conditions in Russia and in China for revolution to take place. He says, no such situation in India. But, the reality is that even in 2026, the majority of Indians are suffering worst than Russians and Chinese of 1917 and 1949. UN data shows that most number of poor people in the world live in India. Under his party's rule the gap between rich and poor increased and it is unprecedented. Recent study shows that the wealth of five richest families in India rose by 400% in the last six years.
After Gujarat genocide in 2002, this Amit Shah was given the charge of home ministry and many other portfolios. The Supreme court of India criticised his functioning. Later, Amit Shah was accused of role in Gujarat genocide but no proper investigation had been done.
RSS has done more damage to India than any other in this country. RSS was against the Indian Constitution. They wanted Manusmriti dictums as law of the land.
Since 2014, BJP-RSS government has been tearing India's social fabric apart through religious clashes, caste oppression, Brahmin supremacy.
Bhagat Singh had categorically stated:
"Let us declare that the state of war does exist and shall exist so long as the Indian toiling masses and the natural resources are being exploited by a handful of parasites. They may be purely British Capitalist or mixed British and Indian or even purely Indian. They may be carrying on their insidious exploitation through mixed or even on purely Indian bureaucratic apparatus. All these things make no difference. No matter, if your Government tries and succeeds in winning over the leaders of the upper strata of the Indian Society through petty concessions and compromises and thereby cause a temporary demoralization in the main body of the forces. No matter, if once again the vanguard of the Indian movement, the Revolutionary Party, finds itself deserted in the thick of the war. No matter if the leaders to whom personally we are much indebted for the sympathy and feelings they expressed for us, but nevertheless we cannot overlook the fact that they did become so callous as to ignore and not to make a mention in the peace negotiation of even the homeless, friendless and penniless of female workers who are alleged to be belonging to the vanguard and whom the leaders consider to be enemies of their utopian non-violent cult which has already become a thing of the past; the heroines who had ungrudgingly sacrificed or offered for sacrifice their husbands, brothers, and all that were nearest and dearest to them, including themselves, whom your government has declared to be outlaws. No matter, it your agents stoop so low as to fabricate baseless calumnies against their spotless characters to damage their and their party's reputation. The war shall continue."
-Bhagat Singh, in his last petition.
