Stop Operation Kagaar. Resist The US-backed State Terror Of The Hindutva-Fascist Modi Regime

The People’s Coalition on Food Sovereignty (PCFS) stands in firm solidarity with the people of India against the escalating state terror of the US-backed Narendra Modi regime. On this Global Day of Action against Operation Kagar, we condemn the repression expected to intensify as the government pushes toward its declared goal of eliminating the Naxalites by the end of March.

We denounce the wave of illegal arrests, abductions, and torture carried out under the guise of counterinsurgency. Activists have been detained without cause, denied counsel, and subjected to physical and psychological abuse—part of a long-standing campaign to silence those defending the rights and interests of the poor and marginalized.

This repression targets not only individuals but also people’s movements, advocacy groups, and legal organizations, maliciously branded as “urban Naxalites” to justify harassment, surveillance, and criminalization. This pattern reflects a McCarthyist witch-hunt aimed at crushing dissent and shrinking democratic space.

Under Operation Kagaar, intensified military offensives have devastated Central India, especially Adivasi territories. These operations have led to extrajudicial killings, sexual violence, aerial bombardments, forced displacement, and the destruction of entire communities.

Rather than addressing the roots of conflict—land dispossession, exploitation, and systemic inequality—Operation Kagaar and other such counter-insurgency campaigns serve imperialist and corporate agendas, clearing ancestral lands for resource extraction and large-scale development projects. The militarization of these regions has deepened hunger, destroyed livelihoods, and eroded indigenous governance systems.

Operation Kagaar is not only modeled after US Counter-Insurgency (COIN) doctrine; it also directly complements the U.S. Indo-Pacific Strategy. As a “Major Defense Partner,” India is positioned as a regional bulwark for imperialist warmongering. It is no coincidence that the arms used by Israel in Gaza were made in India, and it is the same technology being deployed to crush the people’s resistance of the Adivasi and the rural poor in India.

We do not merely stand in solidarity; we join the global outcry against a regime that trades human lives for corporate profit. We amplify the resistance of the Indian people and demand absolute accountability for the grave crimes of the Hindutva-fascist Modi regime. Our Coalition calls for an immediate end to Operation Kagaar: stop the war on the people, defend ancestral lands, and uphold the right to food sovereignty and self-determination!
