Imphal, February 16 2023: The 19th raising day of KYKL's armed wing, Miyamgi Yawol Lanmi (MYL) was observed today at the organization's CHQ, battalions as well as at its units and sections located within and outside Kangleipak.

Central Headquarters (CHQ) hosted the primary event of the day, which was attended by several of the organization's key leaders.

The event featured the hoisting of the party flag, floral tributes to revolutionary cadres who sacrificed their lives for the cause of National liberation movement, and a speech by the party chairman.

As he spoke on this occasion, Chairman N Oken highlighted how the Kanglei people have been lumpenized by the alleged Indian colonialism and have lost their revolutionary potential as a result, conveyed a statement issued by the outfit's publicity and research secretary A Yaiphaba.

Delhi has no interest in increasing Kangleipak's productivity; rather, it wants to shrink Kanglei economic base, Oken said.

The chairman made an effort to use captive-market theory to explain the colonial process in a concise manner.

This theory argues that India seeks to make the State a captive market for the sale of its commodities, according to the statement.

However, he said that while the captive-market theory partially explains the phenomenon, further study is needed in order to fully understand why India wants to keep Kanglei productive forces underdeveloped and how this is related to the deterioration in its people's consciousness, "which makes it virtually impossible for us to ignite a revolution in the State", it conveyed.

The KYKL Chairman said that India never intended Kangleipak to acquire substantial productive forces.

By making the people of Kangleipak totally reliant on Delhi's economic handouts, India has attempted to maintain the status quo of its alleged colonial dominance in the State.

Lumpenization of Kanglei people is one of the most dangerous consequences of suppressing the productive forces by Indian rulers.

In Manipur, the dehumanization of Kanglei people through the alleged Indian colonial economic policy is closely connected to drug menace, corruption, criminal activity, and youth immorality.

He warned that the two phenomena could not be viewed separately.

According to him, the majority of Kanglei people are severely lumpenized, decomposing, and dehumanized.

In addition, the wealth gap has grown significantly in society.

Some people become quite wealthy, while others remain in abject poverty.

What is more concerning is the fact that both groups of people utilize predatory methods to earn money, he said.

Lumpenization is India's effort to form reactionary elements within Kanglei society.

Delhi believes that by doing this, the Kanglei revolutionary movement will collapse owing to the reactionary element within it without much effort on Delhi's part, N Oken said in his speech.

He identified two socio-economic classes in society, the lumpen proletariat and lumpen bourgeoise.

He continued that both the classes would oppose the Kanglei revolution.

The two socio-economic strata, he said, were the offspring of the alleged Indian colonial economy imposed in Kangleipak, where Delhi prohibited Kangleipak's own productive forces from growing, keeping the population reliant on the doles handed out by Delhi.

Continuing his speech, he said, "The lumpen elements present in our society, such as small-time drug dealers, thieves, gang members, hustlers, etc, prey on each other in order to survive.

Besides, their physical selves are completely disconnected from their spiritual selves.

Their primary motivation is predatory behaviour.

These are the people who would rather play sycophancy to wealthy and powerful people rather than start a revolution.

They make money only through crime" .

About the lumpen bourgeois, the Chairman said, "They are the ones who have amassed wealth through criminal activity.

They include corrupt contractors, druglords and dishonest bureaucrats.

"Their illicit wealth will eventually allow them to rise to power," he alleged.

Now that lumpenization has penetrated so deeply, Kangleichas have forgotten that they belong to an oppressed group of people.

Therefore, most of them do not feel the need to launch a revolutionary movement in Kanglei society, he argued.

He also stressed the importance of equipping people with revolutionary consciousness "if we are to create a new society" .

Toward the end of his speech, he alleged that Indians want to lumpenize the Kanglei people so that they lack the consciousness to initiate a revolution.

"Our only chance of fighting colonialism lies in mass proletarianization.

By doing this, we could persuade the lumpen bourgeoisie and proletariat to become revolutionaries.

This would also enable us to broaden the social base of the Kanglei revolution", he said.

Concluding his speech, he called on Kanglei revolutionary organizations to unite into a single body in spirit and ideology.

"Only by doing this will we be able to resist Indian colonialism and build the Kanglei society that we all aspire to", he added.
