The Peasant Revolt of Telangana and the Stalinist CPI

-Rajesh Tyagi/5.4.2014 
Translated by: Anurag Pathak/ 17.2.2017

In the infinite series of counter-revolutionary crimes, committed by Stalinists in the last century, the Telangana peasant revolt (1948-51), that appeared in the mid of the last century, was an important link. 

First, pushing the unarmed youth and peasants to confront the armed forces of the capitalist state, in the name of 'revolutionary upsurge', and then running away leaving them in the lurch, the opportunist leadership of the CPI, during the Telangana struggle, had been acting directly under Stalin’s command, whose sole aim was to nourish the interests of Kremlin’s nationalist bureaucracy, at all costs.
