The Communist Manifesto as it should be applied in India...

The Communist Manifesto was one of the first documents that was released that outlined what a Socialist program would look like Politically and Economically, post - revolution. 

In whichever country that has had a Socialist Revolution, this has been a guiding doctrine and has also been a resounding success until it's implementation was stopped or sabotaged. 

Today, for many of you, this document may seem dated and its application may not make sense. Thus, here is a point by point guide to help you envision what the Communist Manifesto will look like in India.

On assuming office through either Parliamentary democracy or through Revolution, the tasks will be as follows and in no specific order:

The Army and National Security.

1. Secure the Indian Army by removing all reactionary heads of command and replacing them with those of neutral political dispensation.
2. Initiate the process of converting this Colonial legacy of an Army into a People's Army by dissolving all the regiments that are based on Region, Caste, and also removing the Upper Classes from Officer Rank.
3. Add new divisions and responsibilities for the Army. The People's Army will no longer just sit in the barracks and shoot people on command but rather be involved in Infrastructure building, Relief and Restoration operations, and most importantly to de-politicise the Police Forces as well as to train the new Police recruits.
4. Increase the size of the Army and recruit from the mass of unemployed of the country to start these activities that include more soldiers it the Engineering corps and Disaster Relief corps.
5. Military budgets increase and new impetus on local ordinance manufacture and delivery to secure Ammunition and Supply Chains.
6. Immediate withdrawal of the Military from Civilian Policing operations and an end to the use of AFSPA. The Indian Army will NOT fire on Indian Civilians!
