Given how it seems like another Indian-Pakistan war may be just over the horizon, the security forces of the Indian state will soon be stretched thin.
I wonder what the Naxalites are thinking right now? A Communist-Muslim alliance against the fascist Hindutva would mean the state security apparatus would have to deal with…
- A war against Pakistan
- An active insurgency in Kashmir
- A potential insurgency anywhere where there’s a large Muslim minority
- An active Naxalite insurgency in the “red corridor”
Combine this with the social unrest kicked off by this upcoming economic crisis, and I think you can have a winning coalition to win a revolution. Islamophobia is a serious issue though.
Note: The Muslims of India would be very interested in active resistance because they’re currently being subjected by pogroms facilitated by Hindutva paramilitary groups. Resistance in this case can be considered self-defense and offers a modicum of security during these scary times.
Note1: You can probably also include the Christians of India into this broad alliance against Hindutva fascism. I know you have many St. Thomas Christians who have had to flee India because of repression.
