Divided And Ruled By British Tories Ind
For Unity And Freedom

ee main endeavor of the Communist Party of India is

- to help liquidate differences among freedom-loving In-
dians and build a united freedom front to begin. the final
battle of Indian freedom. We seek to fulfill the mission
ef our countless martyrs, and to realize the dream of our
elders to have our children grow to manhood and woman-

hood in a free and
true happiness.

The Communist Party con- drafted separately in coopera-

centrates all its fire against the
imperialist rulers of our com-
mon motherland and considers
it a crime to waste one word
er Jose’ one comrade in jinter-
nal factional warfare.

The only call of our Party is:
Indian must not fight Indian
but all Indians together must
fight the British enslavers!

The Communist Party re-

minds all Indians that through
the policy of divide and rule
the British conquered our an-
cient native lands, through: di-
vide and rule they have ruled
Over us all for 200 years, and
through divide and rule they

The Communist Party seeks to
rouse all against the new im-
perialist plan of dividing up In-
dia and keeping it jointly and
Severally under their own con-
trol. x

Growing Hatred

GAINST the rising hatred
of the growing mass of the

Indian peoples, against the
awakening conscience of the
freedom-loving peoples of the

world, the British peoples of
the world, the British imperial-
ists have come to realize that
they can’ no longer keep India
enslaved or Indians divided in
the same old way.

Their sovereignty over India,
their old order within India, are
doomed. Before all Indians rise

quit our country and refashion

Planning to change their old
regime in their own way and

Their plan is to divide India
into a Hindu-Majority Domin-
ion and a Muslim-Majority Do-
minion, whose constitutions are

Key roles in the decision of India to remain in or leave the

tion with the British govern-
ment! simultaneously they plan
to Keep Princely India in inde
pendent treaty relations ‘with
the British Crown.

They thus hope to canalize
and split the great popular
awakening represented by the
movement led by the Indian
National Congress and the
Muslim League and Keep their
own hold intact, indirectly
through their traditional
Stooges—the princes.

A Cunning Plan _

ie is a cunning plan for the
permanent dismemberment

and a new form of enslayement

of eur motherland:

The basic principles of their
plan and the broad outlines of
their strategy are contained in
the Cripps’ Proposals (1942),
the Wavelli@ffer (1945) and the
subsequent announcefents of
the British Labor government
which only paraphrase the ear-
lier Tory declaration.

Their tactical line is based
upon the blind belief that In-
dians can never agree among
themselves and that our two
major political organizations,
the Congress and the League,
will never come together. It is
this belief that gives them con-
fidence that- the initiative to
frame the new constitution for
India will necessarily pass into
their own hands.

The full blueprint of this dia-
bolical award is contained in
the book, “The Constitutional
Problem of India” by Prof.
Reginald- Coupland who is con-
sidered to be their greatest ex-
pert on colonial constitutions
and is the respected adviser of
the India Office and came to
India as the secretary of Sir
Stafford Crips in 1942.

Such are their manoeuvres,

:

The terrible scenes depicted above reflect conditions now

eral of the dead and dying amon

ealculations and plans to damn
Indian patriotism as bankrupt
throughout the world and win
for themselves the moral right
and opportunity to impose a
British-made constitution and
create one or more puppet
States in India.

It will bring new slavery un-
der British domination and not
Indian freedom—this is the aim
of the British Imperialists to-
day.

Not Salvation

ACAINSE the imperialist plan
of new slavery and perman-
ent partition of our country,
the Communist Party pits its
entire strength. $
The imperialist plan will suc-
ceed if the leadership of the
Congress and the League con-
tinue to cling to the ilusion
that the British -sovernment
will settle with them over the
heads of the other.
It will be the shame of all

British Empire will be played by a

Indians, salvation for none; it

will result in the realization of
the fundamental aim of neith-
er the Congress nor the League
but only in the victory of the
British imperialists.

Imperialist Plan

Te Communist Party offers
just principles as the basis

for a United India Plan

against the British Imperialist

Plan.

The appeal of the Communist
Party is to the undying urge
for freedom of all Indians, the
immediate aim of the Commun-
ist Party is the achievement of
the freedom of India. <.

The Communist Party puts
forward two strategic slogans
to foil the imperialist plan,
based on principles which
should be acceptable to every
freedom-loving Indian.

Firstly, turn your back on the
British rulers. Stretch out your
hand towards your Indian bro-
ther.

No freedom - loving party
Should seek unilateral settle
ment with the British govern-
ment, for this will lead either
to the humiliation of the lead-
ers of that party or to the
Surender of itS aims.

Secondly, for the successful
assertion of the Indian Tight of
Self-determination against Bri-
tain, make a Simultaneous and
uneqivocal declaration that you
will apply the very same prin-
ciple among Indians them-
Selves.

It is in this Way that the
Communist Party seeks to
make the aim of freedom of
Indian peoples and thus elim-
inate the fear of domination
among the minority peoples
and the suspicion of treachery
among the majority peoples.

Fear of. Hindu domination
can keep back the Muslim bro-
thers from joining the battle
of Indian freedom and suspi-
cCion of Muslim disloyalty to
the cause of Indian freedom
can keep the Hindu brothers
