l o sum up, Mf,ce August j j , the leadership ol the Indian 'Sxtiim al Congress and the M oslan leag u e , stronglv entrenched in the O iv f iin ii 'i iO of India and Pakistan i f spectively, have w aited ' itUf mg political, economic and military alliances with

0

^nglo-Amextcan imperialism. They are strengthening the camp of reaction all along the line.

The political policies of the Pakistan and India Governments reveal their fear of real dem ocracy, reflected in the restriction and supression of the dem'>cratic rights of the common people in the interests of reactionary vested interests. 1 heir economic policies lead not to the welfare of rhe people and a democratic economy hut to increasing profits for the parasites and the reten­tion of the existing colonial economic order.

T he Governm ent of India and under it the Provincial Gov• inm ents are pursuing a policy of fleecing the labour to feed the Big Business. Alarmed at the growing strength of the Trade I'nion movement, rhe Congress leadership has organised the Gov­ernment-sponsored I \ T l TC to break the working-class solidarity reflected in the \ IT L 'C The company I'n io n * have been given national names to deceive the w<wkers. Tribunals and A djudica­tion Courts are set up when the demands for a living wage become irresistible; !>ut these bodies are so composed as to cut down as many essential demands of the workers as possible.

In order to assure enormous profits to the capitalists, the ( iovifrim cnt has never enforced effective measures against rhe blackm arket: it' tins respect also they have only carried forward the < imperialist policy: and now in order to legalise the M ackmarket prices they have adopted the policy of de-control.

W hen the old policy of control was found to be ineffective in cheeking prices and extending production, and nation a bsarion of all im poitant industries wa.s being popularly recognised as aa immediate necessity, the \11-India Congress leadership stepped in at this stage and instructed the Governm ent to lift control* tn«nrs«l of effecting nationalisation

I'hi agrarian crisis has reached a st.-i^c when the immediate abolition o| landlordism and redistribution of land to the tillers• »1 thi soil hase become an immediate necessity, the various < angles* ( iovem ments have introduced measures to abolish the statutory /anundari system , but they do not give land to the fillets of the sjhI, and do not take over the private land of rhe landlords in the m ajority of the cases

M o r t a r . t»w acceptance of the M ounrharw n Award by the C W 'O s and the U agu e s b o *s that the Jca^ rsh ip of t h e * two orvum ^rion*. ■who represent the interest* of the capitalists and the tori'>;ords. have reconcilcd th em -*lw * to the position ft coibh- i..»iqn W»til \nglo>Amencan itrpenahsnv . . .

I his reveals the basic change rhat has faker, place in our country. The Indian bourgeoisie has given up the path of opposition to imperialist domination and has hecone collaboration ist During the war, the process of merger between Indian and foreign cap­ita) has gone forward. The Indian capitalists have become far richer than ever before, more seif-eonfidcnr rhereby and more accomm odating to imperialism as a result thereof. They want to extend their economic position in thr countries of the Middle I ast and Asia and. therefore, they are n need of the assistance

Anglo \meric..n imperialism that ai present dominates thear countries.

Alarmed by thr growing strength of the Ind an working class, the I ixli in capitalists are surrendering t " Pn*i*h imperialism and compromising with feudal elem ents like the natise Princes and landlords I o stem the adv.mcing tide of the dtrnociatic forces, they need anti-national agreements with British imperialism in economic, political and m ilitary spheres.
