Towards a Revolutionary Solution

Only workers states within a socialist federation of South Asia can protect the lives and rights of the tessellated religious, ethnic, and national minorities of the subcontinent. In the meantime workers organized across caste and communal lines must defend Muslims and all oppressed sections. The huge, organized, multi-communal working class of India has a basic interest in fighting communalism and the system that breeds it.

At the same time it is necessary to fight against all forms of social backwardness in every community, including the imposition of
sharia law, the subjugation of women in the name of Islam or Hinduism, the substitution of religious schooling for secular education, manifestations of the caste system among Muslims as well as Hindus, and communal hatred on all sides.

For permanent revolution in South Asia!
