Political Violence in Tripura: A story of Fascist Brutality vs Communist Revival

Political Violence in Tripura: A story of Fascist Brutality vs Communist Revival

Akash Chatterjee India//8:56pm, Sep 17th '21

The scenes in Tripura are causing major trouble for the democratic people in India. Tripura is a small state in India. A state which has been run by the Communist Left Front for years. It was a state nurtured by the Communist Parties. People got jobs, free education, food and medicine. The Communist Parties were successful in terms of giving the people a healthy lifestyle. People had economic stability and corruption was very hard to think about.

However, for the past five years, a right wing hindu fundamentalist Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP) has been running the state as the ruling head. For the past four years, people have been facing multiple issues such as job crisis, unemployment, illiteracy and several other things. People protested, they even went on to the streets to commit suicide. The BJP led government has done the worst thing possible. They brought back the infamous 'Sati' ritual. A ritual where women give their lives just after her husband passes away. In Tripura a women tried to commit suicide due to the grasp of poverty when her husband passed away. One could only think of what the BJP has done to the state.

But the Communist Parties are on the streets. The party is the main opposition in the state with 45 votes. They have been the vanguards of the people. Few days earlier, when the Communist Party organised a huge mass protest, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party brutally tortured them. They even attacked the state head office of the Communist Party of India( Marxist)'s state headquarter.Few years earlier they vandalised Communist Party of India's state headquarter too. They brutally destroyed multiple party offices of both of the Communist Parties.

The alarming situation in Tripura tries to tell the story of the biggest democracy in short. The Hindutva narrative has been rising day by day. Not only in Tripura, but also in the entire nation. Tripura is just an example of it. People, their minds are continuously getting manufactured each day. The countrymen are living in danger. Learning to hate, learning to create divisions among neighbours. In Tripura, the Communists were pivotal in creating a bridge between the adivasis and the others. But the BJP has already destroyed that bridge. The adivasis are deprived. As the party is ideologically anti-adivasis.

However, this is not the end. Our Comrades are also ready to fight back. They have been organising themselves for a more intense battle. They have started to take control of the streets. Hate mongering fascism can not win in any context. Our comrades will not spare them in streets or on electoral ballots. History has shown us that the Fascists do have only one enemy. The Communists. We remember everything. From Those burned party offices to the dead bodies of our beloved comrades. We will take revenge. Next year, Tripura will have the Assembly elections. Our comrades are prepared. Let's see what happens.
