Homage to the Kashipur-Baranagar martyrs. Fifty-five years have elpased since the state-sponsored Kashipur-Baranagar massacre (northern outskirts of Kolkata) of young communists on 12-13 August 1971. The notorious SS Ray reign in early 1970s had turned West Bengal into a police state, seeking to crush the Naxalbari upsurge and the communist movement by unleashing serial massacres, fake encounters, illegal detention, custodial torture and state-sponsored street violence. Today the Modi-Shah regime has institutionalised that police state template across India, using draconian laws, state repression and street thuggery to target not just communists but increasingly the entire range of dissenting voices, the Muslim community and other marginalised social groups. We pay homage to the Kashipur-Baranagar martyrs by pledging to intensify the battle for justice and liberty and to strengthen the resistance against fascism on all fronts.

On his birth centenary, we remember and salute Fidel Castro, leader of the Cuban Revolution and a towering figure in the global struggle against imperialism.

CPIML, CPI, CPI(M) and other Left parties organised a protest in Dibrugarh, Assam on August 7, against the arrest and detention of indigenous land rights activist Pranab Doley under the draconian National Security Act (NSA). They condemned the use of the NSA to silence democratic voices and demanded Doley’s immediate and unconditional release. Pranab Doley is being targeted by the Assam BJP government for standing with villagers fighting to protect their land and rights against a proposed luxury resort project on the edge of Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve in Golaghat district. Despite being granted bail by the court, Doley was rearrested under the NSA.

Having failed to silence the youth movement by unleashing police brutalities, the Sangh brigade has now resorted to street violence and online abuse. The ink attack on AISA President Neha Bora today in Ranchi reveals the Sangh brigade's growing fear of Gen Z and young women activists in particular. Modi's midnight reels and Mohan Bhagwat's much trumpeted GenZ-Gen Alpha outreach cannot hide this ugly reality. But with every such attack, the resolve of the movement will only grow. Comrade Neha and other AISA leaders who are now on a countrywide GenZ Rising tour and AISA and RYA activists in Jharkhand and all other protesters who are fighting for fresh corruption-free test in Jharkhand and reconstitution of JPSC and JSSC will never be deterred by the Sangh brigade's threats and attacks. -- Comrade Dipankar, General Secretary , CPIML Liberation (August 7, 2026)

33% RESERVATION NOW — NO MORE DELAYS, NO MORE EXCUSES! The protest in Delhi continues as All India Progressive Women’s Association (AIPWA) and other women’s organisations demand the immediate implementation of 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies, without waiting for delimitation. Comrades of the AIPWA also held a demonstration in Varanasi, Prime Minister Modi’s constituency, raising the demand for the immediate implementation of women’s reservation in Parliament and State Assemblies.

A spectre is haunting the RSS–Sangh: the spectre of student–youth unity against fascist and divisive forces! We strongly condemn the cowardly and shameful attack by Sanghi goons on Comrade Neha, AISA President, and other women protesters in Jharkhand. While meeting students in Ranchi who are protesting against paper leaks, irregularities, and the massive failures in JPSC, JSSC and other recruitment examinations, Comrade Neha and other women protesters were attacked with ink by right-wing goons. The BJP regime’s lathis, tear gas, and Sanghi attacks will not silence or weaken the determination of India’s youth. Their voice for a dignified future will only grow louder.

Jharkhand | CPI(ML) Liberation MLAs Comrade Arup Chatterjee and Comrade Chandra Dev Mahato, along with former Bagodar MLA and RYA National General Secretary Comrade Neeraj Kumar, met with the students and expressed solidarity with their movement at the indefinite sit-in protest site at Jaipal Singh Munda Park, Ranchi. The protesting aspirants are demanding comprehensive reforms in JPSC, JSSC, and other recruitment examinations, an end to corruption in the recruitment process, greater accountability, and a time-bound recruitment process in accordance with the announced examination calendar.
