Introduction

We are presenting the manifesto and constitution of a revolutionary youth

organization named ‘Naujawan Bharat Sabha (नौजवान भारत सभा)’ before the
revolutionary and progressive youth of this country. The aim of this organization is to unite
the scattered youth movement of the country on the basis of the understanding of a right
direction and to take it forward as an integral part of the struggle of the broad masses
against imperialism-capitalism.

‘Naujawan Bharat Sabha’ was formed in 2005 and the draft manifesto and the draft
constitution were presented before the youth of the country at that time. After 2005, the
organization was working under the leadership of a convening committee until the
conference was held. Last year on 26-27-28 September 2014, the first national conference
of the organization was concluded in the capital Delhi on the occasion of the 107 th birth
anniversary of Shaheed-E-Azam Bhagat Singh. In this conference, 150 elected delegates
from all over the country participated. In the first two days of the conference, delegate
sessions were organized and on the third day an open session was held. Greeting messages
sent by different national and international organizations, social activists and intellectuals
were read out. On the first day during delegate session, a report was presented by the
convening committee on the works done in the last ten years. Subsequently the manifesto
and constitution of the organization were proposed, a discussion and debate was held on its
different aspects following which the manifesto and constitution were passed. Next day,
the central leadership of the organization was elected via election in the form of 17-member
central council and then 7 members were elected as central executive by the central
council, and the executive elected 4 office-bearers. During the conference, a total of 13
proposals were presented on various topics and these were passed unanimously. Besides,
members of NBS expressed their views on several topics from the House as well. In this way,
the organization successfully concluded its first national conference.

Now that the conference of the organization is over, it will execute its operations on
the basis of its passed manifesto and constitution under the leadership of the central
council.

 Naujawan Bharat Sabha
Manifesto

“When a situation of stagnation tightens its grip over people, they tremble at the
very idea of change. It is necessary to engender a revolutionary spirit to break this impasse
and lethargy; else the environment of degeneration and destruction comes to prevail. The
public is led astray by the reactionary forces which succeed in taking them on the wrong
path. Because of this human progress comes to standstill and it leads to a situation of
stagnation. For changing such state of affairs it is necessary to reinvigorate the spirit of
revolution so as to cause stir in the spirit of humanity.”

Shaheed Bhagat Singh

Today, we too are living in a time when the situation of stagnation has tightened its
grip on people. It is an unprecedented phase, when the conservative and reactionary forces
have maintained their stronghold on all the controlling peaks of the society. The wave of
counter-revolution continues to dominate the wave of revolution.

In this tough historic time, Naujawan Bharat Sabha calls upon all the brave, self-
respecting, awakened, justice-loving and progressive youth of this country to once again
cause stir in the spirit of humanity and to reinvigorate the spirit of revolution. Our appeal is
not to those youth who while lamenting the fate and circumstances are bending over
backwards to tolerate all kinds of injustice and atrocity by the parasitic class of rulers and
exploiters. We are not at all addressing to those youth whose “heaven” is secure in this
cruel system, or those who while turning blind eye are ready to cross the swamps of blood
and ravines and trenches of injustice for the sake of achieving their “heaven”. We are calling
upon those brave sons and daughters of the masses to whom the islands of opulence and
the towers of luxuries are not acceptable in the ocean of blood and tears, who do not
consider the victory of capitalist plunderers sitting on the weapon hoard as final and who
do not believe in ‘the end of history’. We call upon all those who truly are young, who have
the courage to fly in the storms like a proud eagle instead of hopping like the hens in a yard,
who have not left the habit of dreaming and who are ready to chart out the project of
emancipation afresh and execute it.

The name of Naujawan Bharat Sabha in itself is the symbol of reviving a great
revolutionary heritage and the resolve to take it forward. When the great young thinker and
revolutionary Bhagat Singh along with his comrades made a new beginning, to give a new
ideological basis and organize afresh the revolutionary movement of India against the
colonial slavery, their first important step was to organize the youth under the flag of
Naujawan Bharat Sabha in 1926. Two years later Bhagat Singh and his comrades founded a
new revolutionary organization named ‘Hindustan Socialist Republican Association’ and
declared in clear terms that the common mass of India will have to struggle for the end of
capitalism and establishment of socialism after overthrowing the colonial rule. Only then the
freedom of Indian masses will be real and permanent. Now this truth has become clear as
daylight that the majority toiling masses and the common middle classes can achieve their
true freedom only by breaking the shackles of the domestic and foreign capital. We are left
with only one option and that is to start a new mass-liberation struggle against the rule of
capital. We once again take resolve for a new beginning by organizing all the progressive
and brave young women and men under the flag of Naujawan Bharat Sabha itself by taking
inspiration and learning from the great revolutionary heritage of Bhagat Singh and his
comrades. Our principal aim is to make this youth organization a centre of recruitment and
education and training of the young soldiers of a new revolution.

Long before the political freedom of the county, Shaheed-E-Azam Bhagat Singh
made it clear in the third decade of the last century that Congress is the party of those
domestic profiteers who want to gain power for themselves by compromising with the
imperialists, while for revolutionaries the meaning of freedom is not just the coming of black
skin into power in place of fair skin or Purushottam Das Thakur Das being in power in place
of Lord Reading and Lord Irwin. He defined the freedom as the freedom of 92 percent of
people and as the end of exploitation of masses by all kinds of domestic and foreign capital
besides ending the foreign domination and enunciated the aim of revolution to be the
establishment of rule of common toiling masses and building an egalitarian social structure.
He had predicted this in 1930 itself that the struggle of Congress will end in some kind of a
compromise — and he had called upon the youth by sending message from the dungeon of
prison that they will have to take the message of revolution to the factories and farms.

Today, amid the suffocating and stinking darkness of injustice-malpractice-

corruption-plunder-barbarism and despair, which has engulfed us, the message of Bhagat
Singh, for many brave liberation seeking sons and daughters of common people, is like an
eternally burning torch on the horizon , a light-house guiding the road to future.

All the deceits and shams of freedom and democracy stand exposed now. The
freedom, which the famous poet Faiz termed ‘the tainted light’, has now turned into dark
moon of winter. The dreams of the masses have been shattered. Bhagat Singh’s prediction
has been proved to be true word by word decades ago. Now the youth of the country are
faced with a burning historic question mark. When shall we finally pay attention to Bhagat
Singh’s call by being free from the illusions, confusions and deviations offered by the ruling
class, the tendency of trembling or getting disappointed with the immediate failure of some
early attempts or just the defeat and the tendencies of individualism and selfishness? The
history stuck as it is in an impasse can move again only with the fuel of the hot young blood.
Ideologically equipped, courageous sons and daughters of the masses who are ready for any
sacrifice will have to come forward and take the message of revolution to every home and
all the people from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from the bay of Kutch to Assam. They will
have to not only unitedly fight for their own legitimate rights, but also be a part of every
struggle going on in the society for justice and rights. Not only will they have to sincerely
serve the toilers, who build the foundation of society by melting their bones while living in
the dark hell of abyss, they will also have to get intermingled with their lives and struggles.
They will have to struggle for freedom from every kind of social dogma, fatalism,
superstition and the suicidal fights of caste and religion and will have to create a wave of
ideological and cultural revolution so that the masses can forge steely unity by breaking the
chains of mental slavery and be prepared for the decisive fight against the misanthropic rule
of capital.

Breaking the shackles of British slavery became possible only because of the tireless
struggles and immeasurable sacrifices by the laborers-farmers and the common middle class
people, but the representatives of the domestic capitalists managedcapitalists managed to
occupy the entire structure of production, governance and the society in 1947 through
deceit and by taking advantage of the weaknesses of revolutionary leadership of the mass
struggles. For the sake of their vested interests, they played supportive role in the
conspiracy of the British colonialists to take the country on the verge of division by dividing
the masses on communal basis and fomenting the devastating fire of riots. Congress party
— the representative of the Indian capitalists — carried out historic betrayal by negotiating
the dreams and freedom of masses. The country gained fragmented, incomplete and
maimed political freedom the benefits of which were cornered by the upper 20 percent
sponger, parasitic and rich population who were ready to be the hirelings of the domestic
capitalists and imperialists. The ruling Indian capitalists while remaining within the ambit of
the world capitalism as the ‘junior partner’ of imperialists, chose the path of gradual
capitalist development, in which the right of foreign plunderers to plunder remained intact
and the blood of masses kept on getting squeezed from their veins. Full opportunity was
given, in the name of capitalist land reform, to the princely states-feudatories-landlords to
secure their land and properties and be a part of the capitalist class in the new production-
system or to become capitalist landowners. Former tenant farmers and marginal tenant
farmers after becoming the owners of land also became the exploiters of laborers and
turned into profit making capitalist farmers and kulaks who sell their produce in the market.
In the name of so-called green revolution and white revolution, modalities of capitalist
cultivation and penetration of finance capital in agriculture were promoted. The new
capitalists developed in the villages also became partners in the loot and power as the
whippersnapper of owner capitalists of financial and industrial system. Along with this, the
big parasitic groups of merchants, contractors, higher middle class intellectuals, officers,
statesmen, agents and those with black money also flourished a lot. The masses who
produce all the wealth managed to receive only the crumbs of capitalist development and
that too so that they could stay alive as wage slaves who keep raising the capital of
profiteers by selling their labour power on meager wages after squeezing their blood and
sweat inside the factories and farms.

After gaining the political freedom, a huge public sector edifice was built, with the
alluring veneer of socialism over it, in which the bureaucrats and politicians were provided
with the facilities of luxuries by sucking the workers and heap of capital was accumulated in
the process. As the forty odd years passed by, the basic motive of building the public sector
was accomplished for the ruling classes, now it had become an impediment for the further
road to capitalism and the reality of pseudo socialism was also exposed in the eyes of
masses. Then the process of selling the state industries, built with the blood and sweat of
masses, at pittance or in other words handing them over to domestic and foreign capitalists
almost for free ensued. This process which started in the name of the policies of
privatization-liberalization or ‘new economic policies’ in the last decade of the last century,
is continuously moving forward today with accelerated speed. Along with ceding the public
sector undertakings to capitalist houses, the doors of national economy were fully opened
for the foreign loot.

The period from the ninth decade of the last century until now shows that in the
new era of imperialism, the iron-clamp of the domestic and foreign capital has gripped the
neck of toiling masses of India even more tightly. Ferocity of disasters being brought about
on daily basis by capitalism and the speed of their growth has gone up manifolds. Every year
millions of small farmers are getting displaced after being uprooted from their inhabitation
and land and millions of workers are becoming victims of unrestrained retrenchment and
lockout. Workers’ rights earned through prolonged struggles are being snatched away one
by one. In big industries too, most of the tasks are getting carried out from wage and
contract laborers, for whom there is no meaning of working hours and minimum wage laws
and who are deprived of even the minimum conditions of human life.

The total balance sheet of the so called development of more than half century long
political independence is that 85 percent of total assets have got accumulated with the top
ten percent of population of the country while the bottom 60 percent of population has only
two percent of it. There are 0.01 percent of such people in the country whose income has
gone up by more than two hundred times from the average income of the whole country.
The net profit of the topmost twenty two capitalist houses of the country have not become
double or quadruple but even more that 1000 times. Those multinational corporations are
not included in these families whose net profit has gone up not by two-four times but on an
average by hundreds of times. The burden of external debt, in spite of some yearly up-
down, has remained above one trillion dollars for the last many years. By summing up the
domestic and external liabilities, the total load of the debt of central government is going
above the sixty percent of gross domestic product. The entire income of the government is
spent in debt interests, salary-allowances and internal and external security heads. There is
only one way left to compensate for all kinds of government deficit: to squeeze the broad
toiling masses even more and make their lives even worse than hell. The poverty line that
the government has set, which is bogus and mocks at the right of living like a human being,
the number of people living even below that line is around 30 percent of the population
today, while many economists believe that more than half of the country’s population is not
able to fulfill the minimum necessities of life even after melting its bone day and night. A
little more than 300than 300 millionsmillion of population which is eligible to work either
do not have any employment or do not have any regular employment. Yes, the kind of
development which is certainly taking place in the country is that markets are littered with
new brands of various types of cars-motorcycles-A.C.-fridge-TV-mobile-washing machines
etc., paved highways are being constructed to connect the islands of luxuries. The parallel
economy of black money has become so strong in the country that its increasing size is
reaching around 75 percent of gross domestic product.

Today, the gap between the upper three percent of population and the lower forty
percent of population of the country has become sixty times. Living standard of a handful of
rich is reaching the levels of the rich of western countries, while for the poorthe poor
masses the prices of food and other utilitiesother utilities and the thatthat of drug and
treatment are going farther away from their reach. There has been incalculable increase in
the expenses of primary to higher education and now even the common middle class citizen
can’t dream of making his/her son an engineer or doctor. For the youth of belonging to
ordinary family the accessibility to the campuses of higher education and commercial
education by is becoming almost impossible now.

The reality of the capitalist democracy of the country had been exposed long ago,
now we are confronted with its ugliest and the naked despotic form. All electoral parties
with red-yellow-green-blue and two-colored and tricolor flags are in full consensus on anti-
people economic policies. All the quarrels and one-upmanship amongst them is geared to
the claim for the chair of the chief spokesman of the ruler classes. They are fighting also
because in the times of crisis the rulers fight with each other like dogs. A fundamental
reason of their mutual fight is also that there is never a permanent unity amongst the
robbers. Capitalist politics of our country has descended to such an abyss that the difference
between politicians and gangs of criminals has been wiped out. Condition of the
administrative system is such that there is no difference remaining between the bureaucrats
and thugs and dacoits.

The nakedness of parliamentary democracy is clear as broad daylight now. Polls

fought with billions-trillions of expenditure only decide that members of which party or
alliance will win the claim of “managing committee of the ruler classes” in the form of
government for the next five years. The circumstances have also exposed this truth in the
eyes of masses that the gigantic military system is aimed not at securing the country but at
saving the rulers from the anger of masses. Similarly, the aim of police system is to keep the
public terrified in the name of law and order and to guard of the vaults of capitalists.
Hundreds of billions of rupees are spent every year in the country on the so called people’s
representatives and the ruckus of parliament, hundreds of billions of rupees are spent on
the army, hundreds of billions of rupees are spent on the bureaucratic system and hundreds
of billions of rupees are spent on the police system. All of this expenditure is paid by the
masses only by curtailing their basic needs. Those who are the loyal dogs of capitalist
looters, they recover the full price of guarding, barking and biting. And the capitalists do not
pay for this expenditure themselves; rather siphon it from the same public, whose bones
they squeeze in the name of democracy.

Youths, ye soldiers of the Indian Republic, fall in: do not stand easy, do not let your
knees tremble. Shake off the paralysing effects of long lethargy. Yours is a noble mission. Go
out into every nook and corner of the country and prepare the ground for future revolution
which is sure to come. Respond to the clarion call of duty. Do not vegetate. Grow! Every
minute of your life you must think of devising means of that this your ancient land may arise
with flaming eyes and fierce yawn.

- Shaheed Bhagat Singh

(Manifesto of Hindustan Socialist Republic Association)

The neo-liberal policies continuing for last 24 years have prepared a fertile ground to
nourish the fundamentalist politics of BJP and Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh. Severe
economic crisis of the capitalist system has taken it to such a stage where a fascist rule has
become its necessity to make unabated profits for the capitalist by squeezing the toiling
masses using force and crushing every voice of resistance. In fact, Indian capitalist system is
implementing the only option left before it. Owing to the unanimity on the fundamental
policies, the electoral parties keep on fighting over the non issuesnon-issues by brandishing
their paper swords against each other, or they keep working on their electoral equations by
instigating the fights of caste and religion and by dividing the masses. Many sham leftist
parties too who claim to represent the workers’ interests, have been fully participating in
the circus of power by erecting some smokescreen of protest. The wave of economic
liberalisation and the erosion and degeneration of capitalist democracy have worked
towards providing extensive power and base to the religious fundamentalist fascist forces
already present on the socio-political stage, who have been converting the country into the
blood swamps by riots and genocides and today once again are fanning the fire of hatred so
that when the people hit the streets to protest against the ferociously exploitative policies,
their unity could be broken. The capitalist state is becoming more and more authoritarian
and with religious fascists coming into power, even the remaining capitalist democratic
‘space’ is being eliminated. Religious fundamentalists are increasing their infiltration and
influence at every level of the state apparatus and society and their venomous politics is
pushing fast the whole country towards a horrible bloody strife. They are posing a big
challenge before revolutionaries too by impairing the class consciousness of the toilers.
Struggle against the rise of fascism and its every form remains a significant task of a
revolutionary youth organization. Along with running large scale ideological-cultural struggle
against them, the youth will have to get prepared for a faceoff against them on streets as
well.

Broadly, this happens to be the trajectory of our society from the time of gaining
political freedom till today! The feeble, impaired and sick mercenary of Indian capitalism has
been dragging the dray wagon of capitalist socio-political structure and has brought it to a
dead end. To move ahead from here, this dray wagon will have to be taken to the junkyard,
and the wall standing in front will have to be destroyed with the explosion of a new social
mass revolution. History has once again placed this challenging responsibility on the
shoulders of youth that they become the flag bearers of the new revolution in the new
century. Today, the new revolution against the imperialism and capitalism occupies the top
position on the agenda of history and India happens to be at the leading position in the
queue of potential countries where the conditions of an intense swift storm are being
prepared rapidly. Naujawan Bharat Sabha calls upon the youth of the country that they
come forward for the preparation of a new liberation struggle, take the message of
revolution to masses, be organized and struggle for justice and rights, create a catalyzing
wave in the society through their struggles and make them a part of struggles of the broad
toiling masses.

Our Programme

(1) the ultimate aim of Naujawan Bharat Sabha is to build a new socio-economic
structure on the foundations of equality, justice and human dignity by obliterating the
current socio-economic structure standing on the foundation of barbaric loot by domestic
and foreign capital and it is our unwavering determination to harness the revolutionary
youth energy of the country in the preparation of this historic grand battle. It is our contract
with the history and promise to the future that following upon the call by Bhagat Singh, we
will take the message of revolution to the factories and farms and mobilize the broad toiling
masses in the struggle to establish a system in which the rules and policies to run the
production, governance and society will be framed by the very people who take part in
production, in which only those work will enjoy the right to live, in which there will be no
place for sponging, profiteering and the privileges of those doing intellectual work. Only
such a system can take our society to the untouched heights of progress by liberating it from
the stranglehold of capital.

(2) We thoroughly understand that the road to this ultimate aim is very long and
tortuous one, but the challenges of route cannot prevent the resolute travellers from
starting the journey. The commencement of even thousands of miles long journey takes
place by taking one step only. And then this has to be remembered too that we are not
starting from zero. We have a rich legacy of struggles and sacrifices behind us and the
revolutionary struggles of youth are going on in different parts of the country in the present
time as well. What is needed is to extract the summary of positive-negative experiences of
the past, to study the current situations and the new changes, to make the necessary
changes in the tactics and strategies of struggle on their basis and then unify the scattered
struggles of youth on the basis of a correct and precise program. While putting its
programme into a action, Naujawan Bharat Sabha will continue its efforts constantly for the
unity of revolutionary youth movement.

(3) The youth should not, even for a moment, forget the ultimate aim of decisive
fight to smash the rule of capital, but in the long process of its preparation, they will have to
participate in the movements by raising many small and big problems of everyday lives of
masses, their legitimate demands and rights, will have to raise their voice against the
injustices and atrocities which have become common in everyday life, will have to fight for
some small and big reforms within the ambit of this system too. In this process, the
revolutionary youth will get the opportunity to win the trust of masses, to prove themselves
in practice, to measure their strength and to do rehearsal for the bigger battles ahead. Do
remember that fighting for reforms is not necessarily reformism always. If we have the goal
of revolutionary change and definite action plan then the smaller battles of reforms and
rights with which we make the beginning for the purpose of making unity with the broad
masses, making their consciousness militant, and awakening, mobilizing and organizing
them, become the links of the long revolutionary struggle. If the reforms themselves are
made the end goal, then it is like doing patch up work in the same system, which we can call
reformism. But we will have to remember this too that if without awakening and organizing
the broad common population in the small everyday fights of reforms and rights, if some
youth dream of revolution by relying on individual valour and martyrdom then this will be
the reckless mentality of the middle class revolutionism, which we call adventurism as well.
Do remember that revolution is always carried out by the masses and not a handful of brave
people. Every shortcut to revolution only takes us away from the revolution. Esc We will
have to take the youth movement of India forward on the basis of revolutionary mass
direction by keeping away from the deviations of the two extremes viz. reformism and
adventurism,.

(4) The burning and immediate questions which this barbaric and misanthropic
phase of capitalism has raised before the broad young population are: education becoming
expensive day by day and going out reach and the persistent lack of opportunities for
employment. Situation is now becoming unbearable and explosive. Conditions are getting
worse because owing tioto the retrenchment of millions of labourers and millions of middle
class people from the factories and workplaces and millions of farmers getting uprooted
from their habitations and farms every year the profiteers are getting the opportunity to
exploit the labour power on even cheaper rates. Therefore the slogan which will be at the
forefront of a revolutionary youth organization against the capitalist system is ‘equal
education for all and equal employment opportunities to all’. Unemployment is an
inevitable outcome of capitalist production system. In a society divided by classes,
education is uneven from top to bottom and this disparity keeps on increasing. The
education which enhances the possibilities of employment becomes the privilege of the
children of a handful of rich and the usual prevalence of ‘decreasing seats and increasing
fees’ pushes the poor and average middle class youth out of the campuses of higher
education. Therefore the slogan of struggle against non-uniform and expensive education
and unemployment in essence attacks on a general rule and a general tendency of the
capitalist system. This is the principal strategic slogan of the revolutionary youth movement.
The struggle of equal education and equal opportunities of employment to all will be built
from the countless links of smaller struggles and will become extensive and advanced after
passing through several stages. The demand of free and uniform primary education and to
organize a movement to prevent the education from becoming the business for profit and
to mobilize the common citizens on this demand also happens to be an important task of
the youth movement and is a part of the struggle for uniform education and employment to
all. Till the time the government is not able to provide work to all those capable of doing
work, it mustit must at least provide the alimentary unemployment allowance; the struggle
for this demand is the most important part of the protracted ongoing struggle on the issue
of education and employment. Apart from this, youth will have to firmly oppose every step
of reduction in seats for higher education and increase of fees. Similarly the struggle against
the system of donations in the specialized professional courses of medical, technology and
management is also an issue of youth movement and to take it forward it will actively
participate along with the revolutionary student organizations. The ongoing policies of
privatization-liberalization in the field of education i.e. the policies of directly or indirectly
handing over the education establishments to domestic or foreign capitalists are playing the
most important role in taking the education more and more away from the reach of
common people and in increasing the unemployment. Therefore the youth movement
active for the aim of uniform education and equal opportunities of employment to all, will
have to expose the real character of these policies and while struggling against them, it will
have to present a blueprint of the optional pro-people policies before the youth and the
whole society. By giving a thoughtful logical rebuttal of newer versions of reactionary
Malthusian theory which attributes the unemployment to the growing population we will
have to continually clarify this truth that the fundamental reason behind the unemployment
is the profit based production system and not the growing population. When there are so
many works pending related to development, natural sources and resources are also
available and also the people who can work, there should not be a lack of employment. If
the production is not geared for the market rather for the human needs, all the needs of all
the workers can be fulfilled. Naujawan Bharat Sabha will run campaign of extensive
education and propaganda against the misleading propaganda related to unemployment
and population growth by struggling on the issues of education and employment so that the
youth can be mobilized against the fundamental reason of unemployment which is
capitalism.
 (5) A constant, uncompromising struggle against the social stereotypes is a
fundamental and essential responsibility of the youth movement of any country. Caste
related and socio-religious stereotypes and superstitions are the shackles of mental slavery
for the masses. If we do not step forward to break these shackles of mental slavery, the
liberation struggle of masses against the socio-economic slavery of capitalism will also not
be able to advance. The division of masses on the basis of caste and religion has always
been strengthening the hands of a handful of ruling elites. The British too had derived its full
advantage of this and the capitalist parties who do the politics of vote bank are also playing
this game cunningly on a larger scale. Various religious superstitions do not let the masses
be equipped with scientific outlook, rationality and the correct sense of history. By making
the masses fatalist they deactivate their history-making power. This is the reason why the
same capitalism which uses science in the production of material goods, also publicises
various stereotypes and superstitions through the advanced communication media of
cinema, T.V., radio, internet etc. and thus uses the techniques and devices born from
science in a planned way to blunt the scientific outlook. Naujawan Bharat Sabha will
constantly campaign against religious superstitions and religious and caste related
stereotypes and beliefs. It will make relentless efforts to liberate the masses from the clutch
of fatalism and to topple the walls of separation standing on the foundation of religion and
caste. It will, in all possible manner expose the plots of publicising stereotypes and
superstitions through the capitalist communication media. Apart from different social
programmes, the activists of Naujawan Bharat Sabha will make every possible effort to
present an example of scientific outlook from their life and conduct by opposing superstition
and casteism.

(6) ‘The sword of revolution is sharpened on the whetting-stone of ideas’, this

statement of Bhagat Singh is a guiding maxim for us. Naujawan Bharat Sabha will wage a
campaign of a new revolutionary enlightenment amongst the youth through libraries, study
circles, propaganda campaigns, leaflets-pamphlets, magazines-books and different cultural
endeavours, will equip them with scientific outlook and a sense of history, will make them
capable of understanding the capitalist production, governance and the structure of society
and will provide them with understanding on how this system can be smashed and a
revolutionary alternative be built. Naujawan Bharat Sabha will constantly propagate and
promote the socialist life-values and culture by exposing the misanthropic reality of
capitalist life-values and culture. A radical social revolution cannot be even imagined
without creating a wave of ideological and cultural revolution. Naujawan Bharat Sabha will
acquaint the youth with the history of revolutions and the legacy of revolutionary ideas and
then will appeal to them to take this treasure of ideas to the toilingthe toiling masses.
Today’s children are tomorrow’s young. Therefore Naujawan Bharat Sabha considers its
important responsibility to also work on children’s front. Current education system, cinema-
T.V. and vulgar children's literature are making the child psyche sick and blunt instead of
giving it scientific vision. Through its socio-cultural programmes, children’s libraries, forming
children groups, workshops and programmes of child education, Naujawan Bharat Sabha
will attempt to liberate the children from stereotypes and superstitions and provide them
with scientific outlook.

(7) Naujawan Bharat Sabha will keep exposing the anti-people character of all the
capitalist parties including the parliamentary left parties which falsely claim to be the
leaders of toilers, and will keep on cautioning the youth from becoming their tail and will
keep on warning the masses that they should not be dodged by them. While exposing the
parliamentary democracy Naujawan Bharat Sabha will, through its propaganda activities,
constantly tell the common working and middle class population that this democracy is in
reality a repressive system of rich, it is democracy for the top twenty percent predatory and
parasitic population and arbitrary ruthless autocracy for the rest eighty percent of masses.
While exposing all the deceits and shams of the capitalist electoral politics, Naujawan Bharat
Sabha will struggle at every level against the religious fundamentalist forces of the fascist
politics which have, in the phase of structural crisis of capitalist system, acquired a
devastating form, which keep on conducting saturnalia of genocides by taking advantage of
the religious dogmas prevailing among the people and keep on deriving electoral advantage
by preying on the corpses. Other electoral parties who claim to oppose them also make use
of religion and caste for the politics of vote bank and indirectly nurture communal fascism.
Naujawan Bharat Sabha will make every effort to make the broad masses aware of this truth
that the communal fascist forces can’t be eliminated by defeating them in the arena of
electoral politics by any capitalist party or by electoral leftists. Only the militant unity of the
broad masses and the process of revolutionary mass struggles can actually push them back
and then take them to their grave. Exposing the sham of ‘SarvaDharmSambhav(equal
respect to all religions)’, Naujawan Bharat Sabha will publicise and propagate the real values
of secularism and will make it clear to the public that real secularism is complete separation
of religion from the socio-political life by considering the religious faith or belief in atheism
as the personal matter of every citizen.

(8) The only criterion of whether a youth is revolutionary or not can be whether or
not he/she completely intermingles with the toiling masses, whether he/she totally
connects with their lives and struggles or not. By living a simple and diligent life, activists of
Naujawan Bharat Sabha will establish solidarity with the broad toiling masses and will
present inspirational examples before the youth of the country. They will make efforts, as
far as possible, to participate in productive activities by taking time off from their personal
lives and political engagements, will constantly try to elevate the level of consciousness of
the toiling masses through different educational and cultural activities among them and will
be actively involved in their daily lives and struggles. They will learn from the public before
teaching them and will genuinely follow the maxim ‘serve the people’. Going among the
common public and productive activities, soldiers of Naujawan Bharat Sabha will closely
study the society which they intend to change because it’s necessary to know the things in
order to change them and one has to transform oneself only in the process of transforming
things.
 (9) In any system it is the culture of the ruling class remains dominant on the entire
society and even on the social institutions and education system also it is the ideological and
political hegemony of the ruling class which prevails. The entire socio-economic structure
can be changed only when the toiling masses establish their own state by smashing the
state of the ruling class. The thought of transforming the society through different
educational-cultural endeavours and social creative works is a reformist one which capitalist
intellectuals have always been publicising. Naujawan Bharat Sabha dismisses this reformist
viewpoint in its entirety, but in order to prepare the public for the political struggle, it
considers the role of socio-cultural-educational creative works and the programs of creating
alternative institutions in these fields to be inevitable. Through the medium of these efforts
the youth community establishes solidarity with the broad masses, wins their trust, stirs the
public initiative and presents a general picture of education, culture and social institutions
of the upcoming society before the public. Naujawan Bharat Sabha will create the
institutions for child education amongst the poor toiling masses of cities and villages, will
organise various cultural programmes, will run cultural campaigns, will organise cultural
groups of toilers, will organise health and medical camps and public health education camps
with the help of supportive doctors and medical students, will organise night schools for
adult education, will found libraries, will run extensive publicity campaigns against
alcoholism, dowry system, untouchability and all social evils, will run cleanliness drives from
time to time, and will organise various types of creative programmes.

(10) Naujawan Bharat Sabha will vigorously run publicity-campaigns against male-
female inequality, exploitation of women, their domestic slavery and the culture of
patriarchy as without awakening the initiative of women who constitute half of the
population, without their active participation in social life, no mass liberation struggle can
reach the stage of victory. The struggle against capitalism can’t be advanced without
struggling for the liberation of women and the liberation of women is not completely
possible without liberating the society from the chains of capitalism. Naujawan Bharat
Sabha will make every possible effort for maximum participation of young women in all of
its activities. It will mobilize youth to fiercely oppose all barbaric institutions which oppress
women such as religious malpractices and casteist stereotypes, orthodox social practices
and customs and dowry system, will constantly raise voice against the oppressive character
of law and order towards women and will firmly take positions against the incidents of
oppression of women.

(11) Naujawan Bharat Sabha will constantly struggle against the colonial legacy of
the English language and the anti-people elite culture of EnglishismAnglicism. It will struggle
for making Indian languages as the medium of the works in education, governance and
judiciary to and to give equal status to all Indian languages.

(12) Naujawan Bharat Sabha opposes the repression-oppression of various

nationalities of the country, supports their justified struggles and considers their democratic
right of self-determination to be completely legitimate. Besides, it strongly opposes every
intrigue of dividing the masses and their struggles on linguistic or regional basis and calls
upon the youth that along with making their countrywide unity steadfast they should also
make every possible effort to free the masses from the mentality of linguistic or regional
narrow division.

(13) Only those who love life passionately can dream of a better life and then in
order to make it come true can give every kind of sacrifice. It is necessary for the young
soldiers of social revolution that they be physically and mentally healthy, and be full of
enthusiasm, liveliness, initiative and creative energy along with iron-discipline and
unbreakable unity. Towards this purpose, Naujawan Bharat Sabha will regularly organise the
programs of sports and physical education, will organise volunteer squads, will organise
camps and workshops for productive activities and for training in crafts and arts, will make
programs of tour-visits from time to time and plan various programs for the cultural
advancement of young activists along with political consciousness.

(14) Naujawan Bharat Sabha will support every struggle of common masses against
imperialism and domestic capitalist system which may arise in any corner of the country and
provide it its every possible aid. Naujawan Bharat Sabha considers it its duty and
responsibility to support and participate in every justified struggle of toilers and common
middle class population. Naujawan Bharat Sabha expresses its solidarity with every
movement of civil liberty and democratic rights and promises them of its active support.

(15) ‘Youth should keep away from politics’, ‘they should focus on their careers
instead of country’: Naujawan Bharat Sabha rejects such ideas outrightly. It’s a proven fact
of history that the brave sons-daughters of masses are the fortune creators and future
builders of a country and society. Intellectuals who peddle the rotten ideas of non-
politicization and socially alienated self-obsession amongst the youth are basically the
hirelings of the ruling classes who want to separate the youth community from the
organised struggle for a better future.

(16) Naujawan Bharat Sabha strongly opposes the non-governmental and self-help
organisations, warns the youth of the country against their perilous conspiracies and calls
upon them to awaken the broad masses against these conspiracies. These organisations,
which mainly run on the contributions of imperialists, and also on the funding by the trusts
of domestic capitalists and government, (i) work as an effective ‘safety valves’ of the
capitalist system (and of the world capitalist system as a whole) and adopt newer cunning
ways of reformist patchworks, (ii) work as the ‘speed breakers’ on the path of reaching the
inevitable culmination of fierce mass explosion due to effects of policies of globalisation, (iii)
make the radical youth equipped with the possibility of recruitment amongst the
revolutionary ranks sink into the swamp of reformism by alluring and deluding them under
the guise of social works, make them corrupt by making them “salaried social activists” and
appropriate them withnwithin the system, (iv) depoliticize the consciousness of the youth
and the whole masses by peddling the rotten ideas of “non-party activism”, (v) lose sight of
the fundamental class-division of the society by giving over-emphasis to social groups,
strata, identities, racism, sexism or differences persisting on regional grounds, blunt the
class consciousness of masses, disintegrate the mass struggles and serve capitalism through
efforts of stopping the advancement of class struggle, (vi) these organisations play the roles
of essential supplements of imperialist international organisations in making the
penetration of finance capital extensive and deep in the backward countries in a different
manner, by trying to give a “human” face to the policies of globalisation. ‘N.G.O.-reformism’
is basically a Trojan horse of the world capitalism, it is a new line of defence of the capitalist
system, it is a dangerous imperialist vicious circle. Naujawan Bharat Sabha considers it as its
absolutely essential duty to expose the reality of these wolves wearing the skin of sheep, to
warn the youth and the whole masses against them.

Anchor falls in the shallow stagnant waters.

Believe in the extensive and surprising ocean

Where the tide is always fresh

Where the powerful streams are independent

There fortuitously, O’ young Columbus

Can be your new world of truth.

Shaheed Bhagat Singh

(Naujawan Bharat Sabha, the Manifesto of Lahore)

(17) Naujawan Bharat Sabha declares unswerving and uncompromising struggle

against those divisive and disruptive forces, who keep trying to weaken or divide the youth
movement by dividing the youth on the basis of caste or religion or region, or by making
them the henchmen of this or that capitalist or sham leftist party. It also declares struggle
against those ultra-reactionary forces which keep hatching the conspiracies to recruit the
frustrated-misguided youth in the ranks of fascists by inducing the fads of bigotry and
jingoism.

(18) Naujawan Bharat Sabha is not only the fervent supporter of the unity of the
youth movement of the whole country; it also favours all the struggles of all the
revolutionary, progressive, justice-loving youth of the whole world. It declares its
commitment towards the militant international solidarity of revolutionary youth.

(19) Naujawan Bharat Sabha lends its support to the anti-imperialist struggle of
masses going on in any country of the world. Wherever the toiling masses are struggling
against capitalism for their rights, Naujawan Bharat Sabha declares its support and solidarity
towards it. Besides opposing the imperialist plunder going on in the whole world, Naujawan
Bharat Sabha also strongly opposes the imperialist attack on any country, imperialist
infiltration and coup conspiracies and all the imperialist wars. It also strongly opposes the
despicable anti-people trends such as racism, apartheid and Zionism.

Three days before the hanging, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev had written in
their letter sent to the governor of Punjab that their struggle is a part of the continuing war
against capitalism and it will go on until the powerful people, whether they are English
capitalist or Indian, have their monopoly on the Indian public and the means of income of
the workers and continue to suck their blood. They had declared this in the letter: “The
choice of the course, whether bloody or comparatively peaceful, which it should adopt rests
with you. Choose whichever you like. But that war shall be incessantly waged without taking
into consideration the petty (illegible) and the meaningless ethical ideologies. It shall be
waged ever with new vigour, greater audacity and unflinching determination till the Socialist
Republic is established and the present social order is completely replaced by a new social
order, based on social prosperity and thus every sort of exploitation is put an end to and the
humanity is ushered into the era of genuine and permanent peace.” This conviction was
expressed in the letter that: “In the very near future the final battle shall be fought and final
settlement arrived at.”

Today when we study the condition of world capitalism in historical background and
examine its structural economic crises, we find the above evaluation by Bhagat Singh and his
comrades to be quite true and accurate. The general direction of the development of world
history is indicating that we have entered into the century of end of the era of capitalism.
This century is the century of decisive war against the rule of capital. Though today the
aggressiveness of the rabid forces of reaction are on their peak on the world level after the
defeat of progressive forces of history in the first round of historical world grand battle in
the last century, the signs of arrival are also coming from different countries of Asia, Latin
America and Africa. Now only time will tell as to which country’s youth will take the
initiative to convert the upcoming historical storm into social revolution by giving it a
definite direction. Naujawan Bharat Sabha calls upon all the courageous, self-respecting and
progressive youth of India to get ready for this grand task. Naujawan Bharat Sabha appeals
to all the brave sons and daughters of the masses:

Arise! Awake!! March!!!

Get united! Get organised!! Take forward the struggles!!!

Learn from the legacy of revolutions of the past! Study

the present!! Dream for a new future!!! Chart out a new project of liberation and
execute that!!!!

The youth will have to spread this revolutionary message to the far corner of the
country. They have to awaken crores of slum-dwellers of the industrial areas and villagers
living in worn-out cottages, so that we will be independent and the exploitation of man by
man will become impossibility.

-Shaheed Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt

(Letter in the Name of Students)

Life of constant struggle, suffering and sacrifice is needed. Crush your individuality
first. Shake off the dreams of personal comfort. Then start to work. Inch by inch you shall
have to proceed. It needs courage, perseverance and very strong determination. No
difficulties and no hardships shall discourage you. No failure and betrayals shall dishearten
you. No travails (!) imposed upon you shall snuff out the revolutionary zeal in you. Through
the ordeal of sufferings and sacrifice you shall come out victorious. And these individual
victories shall be the valuable assets of the revolution.

-Shaheed Bhagat Singh
