Jalandhar - On the 206th birthday of Karl Marx (May 5, 1818- May 5, 2024), the Desh Bhagat Memorial Committee held a serious discussion in the Desh Bhagat Memorial Hall. On this occasion, Charanji Lal Kanganiwal, Assistant Secretary of Desh Bhagat Commemoration Committee shared the works of Karl Marx's inspirational militant life story and shed light on the importance of today's thought-discussion.
The main speaker of the discussion, Dr. Parminder, a member of the Patriotic Memorial Committee, focused his speech on the topic of 'Marxist relevance and perspective in the current social situation'.
Dr. Parminder said that in the world, India was at the first place in many important fields. There was also primitive industry. There were countless opportunities for labor and employment for human hands. The future path of this natural social development was blocked. The industry was strangled.
He said that by displacing the farmers, taking away the resources, consolidating the capital in a few hands and stifling the development of the Indian society, they gave opportunities to the big tycoons associated with the British Empire to steal the blood of the people. In this suffocating environment, a new usurer class was created so that imperialism could usurp all the precious natural resources and human labor with the help of its servant classes. This process continues till today.
Dr. Parminder said that the British Empire laid a thick net to take the wealth out of our country by laying a network of waves and railways in our country. He said that the very existence of the empire depends on the existence of backward regions like our country from where its imperial development policy can be developed and expanded.
He said that the empire wants to keep countries like us in the clutches of pre-capitalism. Therefore, people's struggle is very necessary to overthrow imperialism and create a democratic system. Only by understanding the framework of the imperial cobweb can we create a movement full of logic and democratic values. He said that it is necessary to break the ancient backward shackles to break the imperialist tyranny.
