A video interview that some comrades and I put together in Nepal this past January. Check it out! Reposted from Kasama Project.

BASICS CNS and Winter Has Its End correspondents caught up with Ganesh Kumar Chitaure, owner of a radical bookstore, Jagaran Book House, in Kathmandu.

Chitaure explains some of the basic inequalities along caste and class lines in Nepal that motivated him to join the Maoist movement.

He also talks about the role that he played as a member of the Maoist party and how that led to his founding this bookstore.

Chitaure also provides a brief overview of the differences and splits that have emerged in the Maoist movement now after the ending of the insurgency.

“…el 27 de diciembre de 1974 una escuadra de doce hombres precariamente armados, reduce a la impotencia al enemigo somocista, que dispone de gran poder económico y de un poder militar que incluye miles de hombres, cañones, tanques, aviones…” afirmó en la ocasión el Comandante Carlos Fonseca. Mientras duró la acción, el poder en Nicaragua fue ejercido por el Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional; la audacia, decisión, arrojo, y en suma, la justicia y superioridad moral de la causa de Sandino, propinaban a la dictadura el más duro golpe que hasta entonces había sufrido, iniciándose la ofensiva que habría de aniquilarla el 19 de julio de 1979.

En el presente libro el Comandante Jaime Wheelock Román narra en detalle los pormenores de la exitosa acción que concluyó con la publicación de comunicados revolucionarios en todos los medios del país, incluso los oficialistas, y, lo que es más importante, la liberación de los presos políticos, entre ellos varios miembros de la Dirección Nacional de la organización; a la vez que ofrece al lector un análisis de la cruda e injusta situación económica y social en que el imperialismo yanqui y la dictadura somocista habían sumido al pueblo nicaragüense.
