What will be the woman’s problem?

 

The woman is at
the bottom of all today. Religion, society, politician, and government have
thrown women in the bottom line. Today the woman class has nothing of their
own. They’ve lost their freedom. And women can not work at will. Can not hang
out, can not study, can not write. They can’t eat, wear, stay, deliver a
speech, participate in political discussion, they can’t sing, dance and act.
The women are confined to the house today. Religion asks not to believe in
women. Society says women should always be substandard. According to politics,
women get freedom only to become coolie1 in factories.

What is the use of
socialism?
 

If socialism is
there, the government, factories, and science will come into the hands of the
people. The rich who hurt the poor will be taken away by the people from their
panchayat with the help of their government. The people will take the factories
out of the hands of the rich and produce from more land in less time with the
help of the factories. This will enable them to live peacefully by wearing and
feeding themselves happily. Will get time, leisure to think like a good man.


Capitalism  with the help of the law, and by taking away
rice from the mouths of thousands of children and fill one’s children’s mouths,
making one’s children wear clothes by taking away from other thousands of
children, breaking the houses of thousands and building a house for one,
increasing one’s wealth by pushing the boundaries of the thousands of ridge.
Making more money by evading thousands, constructing factories with more money
and use the coolies at low cost, gaining a lot of profit by selling factory
items at a higher price- these tactics are called capitalism. The rich have
governments, police-military, law courts, markets, mill factories, and
societies in their hands.

 

Socialism– true society
means the society of farmers and workers. The one who cultivates by plowing is
called a farmer. The one who works in the factory is called a worker. These
farmers and workers have saved society. They are the backbone of society. The
workers provide oil, salt, yarn, clothes, trains, motors, aircraft, weapons to
all the people. the workers make chopper, ax, hoe, plowshare, etc like
blacksmiths. The farmers take them and build houses. They provide rice to
society by cultivating. They keep society alive. But the farmers and the
workers today do not get to eat like the rich. If they don’t have government,
factories, science in their hands, there can be no peace of farmers-workers. So
unless the poor caste takes over the government, factories, and science in the
hands of the society, the misery of the society does not go away. Because
today’s society is about farmers-workers and the poor. Socialism will happen
only if the government, factories, and science come into the hands of the
people.

 

Socialism is called the ‘farmers-workers
panchayat’.

‘Tribal’
is an English term. It is the adjective of the word ‘tribe’. Tribe means a
dominant race, which had a place once in history, which has not yet been able
to give up the primitive culture-civilization in this 20th century, a nation
that has not yet been imprinted by the civilization of the 20th century, a race
which can not keep pace with the civilization of the 20th century is still
underdeveloped-the same nation is the tribe or the indigenous people. In
Assamese, tribals are called subspecies(tribe). After independence, the name of
this tribe is also tribal.  Since 1935,
Rabha, Bodo, Miri, Mikir, Lalung, Deuri, Gado, Khamti, Dimasa, Sonowal,
Thengal, Naga, Khasiya, Lusai, Kuki, Tipara- the group of these castes is
called tribal caste in Assam.

 

Nationalism is a main part of capitalism.
The key principle of nationalism is- one country, one nation, one soul.. when
the people of India woke up to the national movement of the congress of India
chanting ‘Vande Mataram with the principle of one country one nation one soul-
the British throne was shaken by the Indian nationalism despite religion. The
diplomatic political men of the English rose to defend India, a large part of
their empire. In a state of unintelligence, they resorted to prof. Kupland, a
wealthy diplomatic political scholar. The kupland policy was to divide and run
the rule. The English rulers got the chance with such a policy postulate. The
then British prime minister was Ramje McDonald Sahab. He then sent some people
with a member of the parliament, sir John Simon, to India with the name Simon
commission. As soon as the Simon Commission came to India, the people of the
country raised an uproar to boycott the commission. The clever rulers of the
English lured the underdeveloped communities under Hindus and Muslims with the
lure of convenience. The Simon commission also came to Assam. The British lured
some of the leaders of the primitive castes like Bodo, Kasari, Rabha, Muslims,
and backward Hindus and arranged for them to felicitate the Simon commission
from Assam. The Simon commission returned to foreign (England) and submitted a
report. There were three round table meetings in foreign. Communal demon
speculation continued. Gandhi’s hunger strike leads to the Poona deal. Finally,
in 1935, the ‘Indian rule act’ was enacted in India. Accordingly, there has
been a different change in the political sphere of India. The same thing
happened in Assam. Rabha, Bodo, Kasari, Lalung, Miri, Mikir, Dewri, Thengal,
Sonowal, Garo, Naga, Khamti, Lusai, Dimasa, Kuki, Tipra etc became different in
the name of tribal caste. Nath, yogi, Kaivarta, Hari, Hira, Dom, Namasudra, etc
were included in a planned procedure. Hindu and Muslim became the two main
castes. Assam’s nationalism shattered. 
The Assamese nation became weakened. 


This tribal nation was born in the womb of British wealthy imperialism. So they
save the interests of capitalism or imperialism more than themselves. The
tribal union was established to benefit this tribal nation. It has been sixteen
years today that the tribal union has been unable to find any special welfare
for the poor backward tribal nation. Because today the leaders of the tribal
union have brought the tribal swaying, making poor people to their side with
the hope of happiness, peace, and liberation and establishing their leadership
on the tribal class and with their strong leadership, the tribal they push the
poor people into the law-machine of the rich class who saves the riches and
kills the poor. Because, like other parties such as congress, Muslim league,
socialist party, forward bloc, tribal league or unions also mean this
pressure-squeezed law machine. Moreover, it should be noted that the tribal
nation was born only to save capitalism and imperialism. The tribal union can
never be the good or well-being of the poor underdeveloped tribal nation,
rather it is the rich class that can have interests and goodness.


 That is why
even people like Rupnath Brahma, such an honest and good man have sat on the
minister’s throne for so long, why have they not been able to attain the
welfare of the tribal nation even today? In his village- Wabari, where people
still get to eat one meal, and not another, Brahma has not been able to attain
welfare to his village, not been able to bring peace and happiness of his
village, how will he attain the happiness and peace of 30 lakh tribals of
Assam? He can’t do well with the tribals in any way. Because he means the law.
That law is an oil-spilling machine. Unless the rich’s spilling machine law is
broken, the tribal people’s happiness, peace, and independence can not happen.
It takes a revolution to break the law machine of the rich. That revolution
will destroy capitalism, break the law machine. Will establish socialism,
people will be the king and the kindreds will flow the stream of the Ganges, –
farmers-workers-panchayats will be heaven….

 

This is the socialist
revolution…
