excerpts-"The CPI like the BCP[both white and red flags] considered Indian independence as sham, and it had to take up armed struggle largely, for the indepedence of India[ sic. after Indian independence in 1947"
- " The red guards[ sic. Manipuri revolutionaries of 1950] had struck upon the Manipur police, Manipur Rifles and the 4th Assam Rifles].
- " Political assasinations happened decades after.Subsequently thereafter, the next phase of guerrilla war [ sic.in Manipur after Indian annexation] of the PLA[eastern division] and PREPAK happened in the valley in 1978-79."
"The red guards revolution in 1950-51 left a profound,indelible impact on the informed Manipuri world-view and onward progression of a composite,egalitarian history of the ancient Asian state[sic.Manipur].The MCP [ sic.Manipur Communist Party] revolution remains a pathfinder in a re-defined ,better articulated political landscape."

----- quote of the day---------------------------------------------------------

"Revolution is not a dinner party, nor an essay,nor a painting,

nor a piece of embroidery ; it cannot be advanced softly,

gradually, carefully, considerately, respectfully, politely,

plainly and modestly."

-Mao Tset-tung
