Let Us Uphold Keeladi! Let Us Drive Away Vedic Civilization!

Greetings Friends and Comrades!

"Not everything that happens on its own is history... The labor and struggles of human beings—who utilize the environment provided by nature to further enrich their lives for the benefit of human society—are what truly become history!"

This is the course of world history. Some of these magnificent efforts born out of human labor have been recorded in history, while others have faded away into oblivion.

In today’s modern era, all events are instantly recorded in written form, audio-video formats, and various other mediums. However, in earlier times without technological amenities, people's scripts, everyday artifacts, archaeological evidence, and literature were the sole means of recording past history.

Imaginary Fiction or Historical Evidence?

On the other hand, an extremely dangerous trend persists here—writing history based purely on imaginary fictions without any archaeological evidence. One such fraudulent attempt is the so-called 'Vedic Civilization', constructed on the imaginary foundation of the 'Saraswati River Civilization'!

There is no literary evidence, archaeological proof, or epigraphic record whatsoever to support this. Relying merely on the general understanding that human civilizations originated and flourished along river basins, attempts are being made to construct a Vedic civilization around the historically unknown 'Saraswati' river.

It is in this context that the Keeladi excavations, conducted on the banks of the Vaigai River in Tamil Nadu, have thoroughly shattered these Aryan-Vedic mythological fabrications! Keeladi has proclaimed to the world that even 2,600 years ago, Tamils lived in a highly developed urban civilization free of caste, religion, and spiritual traces, with widespread literacy. It has scientifically established that "Keeladi is the most crucial turning point in Indian history!"

The Union Government's Attempt to Suppress Keeladi

To cover up this historical truth, the Union Modi government shelved the Keeladi excavation report and vindictively transferred archaeologist Amarnath Ramakrishna.

On one hand, they impose Sanatana Fascism under the guise of 'One Nation, One Language, One Culture' and sow the venom of caste by dividing humans based on birth. On the other hand, they drive working people into continuous distress through corporate exploitation and Sanatana oppression.

The antidote to this is the egalitarian culture propounded by Keeladi: "All human beings are equal by birth" (Pirappokkum Ella Uyirkkum).

Thanjavur 'Tamil People's Music Festival' — A Cultural War!

The People's Art and Literary Association (PALA -மகஇக) has taken up this momentous cultural struggle to eradicate Vedic fabrications and deeply engrave the egalitarian ethos of Keeladi in the hearts of Tamils!

As part of this struggle, a grand "Tamil People's Music Festival" (தமிழ் மக்கள் இசை விழா)  will be held on August 22nd on the soil of Thanjavur. Special events showcasing the political and historical significance of the Keeladi excavations have been organized for this festival. Archaeologist Amarnath Ramakrishna, who unveiled the truths of Keeladi to the world, will also be sharing his first-hand experiences in person.

Having journeyed with the People's Art and Literary Association (PALA-மகஇக) for over 45 years, I am actively contributing to this endeavor. You are well aware that PALA is an organization defined by long-term political vision and an uncompromising, fearless fighting spirit.

Friends and Comrades, extend your generous support through physical labor and financial contributions!

This Tamil People's Music Festival is a monumental event that demands immense physical effort and significant financial expenditure. Therefore, to make this event a resounding success:

• Comrades and friends capable of stepping onto the field to contribute direct labor must come forward enthusiastically!

• I warmly request friends, comrades, and anti-Sanatana thinkers who have generously offered financial support in the past to contribute on a large scale this time as well.

"Every single rupee you contribute is a strike against Sanatana Fascism! A pillar of cultural strength upholding Keeladi!"

In Comradeship,

From Revisionism to Cinema Politics: Traditional Communist Parties and the Support for Vijay

In Tamil Nadu, various political parties have been extending their support and welcome to actor Vijay's political entry for different reasons. However, the question of why the traditional Communist parties—who proclaim themselves as the true heirs of Marxist politics—are maintaining a soft stance and tending to support Vijay's political endeavors emerges as a highly critical point today.

Is this merely the result of temporary, opportunistic electoral coalition politics? Or is there a deep-rooted historical and ideological weakness hidden behind it?

The Marxist Debate on Revisionism

In the mid-20th century, the greatest ideological rift in the global communist movement centered around the policy transformations initiated by Nikita Khrushchev in the Soviet Union.

Mao Zedong and the Communist Party of China fiercely criticized Khrushchev's newly formulated concepts of the "State of the whole people" and the "Party of the whole people." Mao argued that abandoning the theoretical foundation of the dictatorship of the proletariat and projecting the socialist state as a classless state was an act that demolished the very bedrock of Marxism.

From China's perspective, this was not just an academic or textual debate on theory; rather, it was a perilous "Revisionism" that threw open the gates for the restoration of capitalism in the Soviet Union.

The Stance of Indian Communist Parties

The major factions of the traditional communist movement in India—the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)]—generally aligned themselves with the Soviet camp.

Refusing to accept the sharp theoretical critiques raised by Mao, these parties took a defensive stance, maintaining that the Soviet Union was still traveling on the socialist path. At the same time, they vehemently opposed the Naxalbari movements that erupted in India, inspired by Mao's revolutionary principles, branding them as 'Left-wing Adventurism'.

What Did History Say Later?

In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed completely, disintegrating into dust. State assets were swept away by liberalization and privatization. Capitalism reclaimed the throne openly and without any pretense.

Was Mao's pre-emptive warning—that revisionism would ultimately lead to the restoration of capitalism—correct? Or was the theoretical evaluation of the traditional Indian Left, which blindly supported the Soviet path, flawed? This remains an unshakeable lesson that history has taught us.

China and the Deng Path

Following the demise of Mao, China began moving along the path of economic reform under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping, under the banner of "Socialism with Chinese characteristics." Market economy features expanded; private capital was permitted to grow, and foreign investments were welcomed with a red carpet.

The debate over whether socialism still endures in China or whether capitalism has left its footprint there in another form continues among global leftists to this day.

However, there is a crucial point to be noted here. The very same traditional Communist parties that once portrayed Khrushchev-era Soviet Union as the fortress of socialism began praising Deng's reformist China as a sublime model of socialism.

Critics of this approach point out: "The core policy of the traditional Left never changed; rather, it was only the international centers of power they relied upon for their survival that shifted."

Electoral Politics and the Path of Compromise

This is precisely where we must analyze the current political landscape of Tamil Nadu through an ideological lens.

Once champions of revolutionary class politics, the Communist movements, after completely binding themselves within the framework of parliamentary electoral politics, began prioritizing their 'political survival' over radical social change. This parliamentary cretinism imposed a practical politics based on temporary electoral alliances rather than principle-driven politics.

The natural consequence of this is the development of a weak mindset willing to compromise ideological identities and align with any mass-popular force entirely divorced from class principles.

Support for Vijay: An Ideological Continuation of Revisionism?

The political programs put forth by actor Vijay are not remotely related to the core tenets of Marxist politics, such as class struggle, the transformation of production relations, the abolition of capitalism, or working-class politics.

His slogans center primarily around anti-corruption, good governance, administrative reform, and a general populist welfarism blended with Periyar-Ambedkar thoughts and nationalism. Even these are viewed with skepticism by neutral observers, who question whether they represent a principled ideological stance or are merely attractive rhetoric for vote-bank politics.

Nevertheless, one can observe a distinct soft stance adopted by the traditional Communist parties in their approach toward him. These parties might cite tactical lines, such as 'anti-fascism' or 'defeating the primary enemy,' as their justification.

However, critics of this compromising approach argue that this is not merely a temporary electoral tactic. The logical continuation of an ideological lineage that compromised with 'revisionist forces' internationally—from Khrushchev then to Deng now—is precisely the practical compromise they are making locally today with mass-popular alternative forces like Vijay.

Conclusion

The true theoretical yardstick of a Communist movement lies not just in whom it supports, but within what ideological framework and why it supports them.

There is no surprise that the same political tradition that once justified Soviet revisionism and later market-economy China as socialism now supports the new stars of electoral politics for the sake of its own survival.

Is this mere tactical electoral politics? A long-standing continuation of ideological revisionism? Or a pragmatic approach to adapting to new political realities?

The precise answer to these questions will ultimately be determined by history and the future political practice of these parties.
