The International Committee to Support the People’s War in India (ICSPWI) called for an international day of solidarity on March 28, 2026 to demand an end to Narendra Modi’s brutal Operation Kagaar. From Brazil, Mexico and the United States, to the Netherlands, Finland, Switzerland, United Kingdom all the way to Bangladesh and the Philippines, progressive and revolutionary forces expressed their support for the Indian and Adivasi people, and particularly the Communist Party of India (Maoist) or CPI (Maoist) and the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), with pamphlets, posters, streamers, graffiti, discussions and protests.

Since January 2024, the Indian state has been waging the counterinsurgency offensive “Operation Kagaar” against Adivasis, peasants and activists. Villages are being bombed, people displaced, prisoners tortured or killed. This so-called “final war” has been a war waged against the masses who have dared to stand up against the exploitation of their land and resources by multinational corporations and their local collaborators.

The main goal of Modi’s fascist Hindutva regime in waging this campaign is to wipe out the Indian people’s armed revolutionary struggle by the end of March 2026, which is framed in the US counterinsurgency doctrine and is a direct extension of the US Indopacific Strategy. More than 750 individuals have been massacred, mainly Adivasi people in Central India. Thousands more were arrested, jailed and branded as “terrorists”. The military carried out mass surrender campaigns and forced indigenous communities to cooperate. Hundreds of military camps have been built in the forests and communities to ensure the appropriation and plundering of ancestral lands and the environment.

While many cadres of the CPI (Maoist) and PLGA have fallen victim to the violence of the Indian fascist state, the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), New People’s Army (NPA) and the entire revolutionary movement have reaffirmed their support and confidence that the Indian revolutionary movement will overcome and defeat Operation Kagaar. Their steadfastness and heroic struggle serves as an inspiration to the Filipino people to persevere their armed struggle with even greater determination.

The liberation of India and the Philippines from imperialist oppression and domination will significantly contribute to the worldwide struggle against imperialism and for freedom and socialism.
