Parties and organizations worldwide took action on March 28 to demand an end to Operation Kagaar (or the “final war”) waged by Narendra Modi’s fascist Brahmanical Hindutva regime in India. They locked arms with Indian and Adivasi (indigenous) people targeted by the regime’s brutal and bloody suppression campaign that began in January 2024.

The International Committee to Support the People’s War in India’s (ICSPWI) call prompted the participation of forces from Brazil, Bangladesh, Finland, Mexico, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. They distributed pamphlets, posted posters, hung streamers, painted agitational grafitti, held discussions, and staged protests to urge more people to stand up for the Indian and Adivasi masses.

Among those actively participating in the campaign were the antiimperialist alliance International League of Peoples’ Struggle (ILPS) and the ILPS Commission on Indigenous Peoples and National Minorities (ILPS Commission 10).

The bloody “ultimate war”

Operation Kagaar is part of the Indian state’s overall intensification of fascism under the Surajkund Scheme (2022). It is a counterinsurgency campaign with the declared aim of wiping out by the end of March 2026 the Indian people’s armed revolutionary struggle led by the Communist Party of India (Maoist) or CPI (Maoist).

The operation is framed in the US counterinsurgency doctrine and is a direct extension of the US IndoPacific Strategy. The operation also intensifies religious fanaticism that serves Modi’s Brahmanical Hindutva regime’s fascist repression.

The Modi regime’s Kagaar has already massacred more than 750 individuals, mainly Adivasi people in Central India. The state’s armed forces arrested, jailed and branded as “terrorists” thousands more on multiple trumpedup charges.

The military subjected indigenous communities to mass surrender campaigns and forced them to cooperate. Hundreds of military camps have been built in the forests and communities, protecting multinational corporations that appropriated ancestral lands and plundered the environment.

Meanwhile, many cadres and leaders of the CPI (Maoist) and the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) have fallen victim to Kagaar’s violence. The Modi regime commonly subjects them to arrests, severe torture, and then kills them while they are in the custody of military and police forces. These are grave violations of international humanitarian law.

Solidarity from the CPP and NPA

Amid the Modi regime’s declared aim of liquidating the CPI (Maoist) and PLGA by the end of March 2026, the Communist Party of the Philippines, New People’s Army (CPP–NPA), and the entire Philippine revolutionary movement have reaffirmed their support. The Party’s chief information officer Marco Valbuena said the Philippine revolutionary movement is confident that the Indian revolutionary movement will overcome and defeat Operation Kagaar. “The people will fight as long as exploitation continues,” he said.

Valbuena likened Kagaar to the US-dictated fascist tactics used for decades against the Filipino people under various regimes, including the current USMarcos regime. He emphasized that the Indian and Filipino people have both shown great courage in fighting state terrorism and oppression, ready to face all difficulties with all necessary sacrifices.

Valbuena added that the heroic struggle of the Indian people and their revolutionary forces inspires the Filipino people to persevere their armed struggle with even greater determination.

Amid a world shaken by imperialist-initiated, -incited or -supported wars, the Indian and Filipino people urgently need to unite and advance their struggles for national liberation and democracy. The liberation of India and the Philippines from imperialist oppression and domination will most significantly contribute to the worldwide struggle against imperialism and for freedom and socialism.
