Constitution & Bylaws

Hindustan Socialist Party (HSP) is a secular democratic political party. HSP was formed as a result of the anger among the members, supporters and other public of the respective parties against the evil tendencies of corruption, nepotism, authoritarian tendencies and lack of political morality in the context of crisis and erosion of values in all the existing political parties on the All-India platform, including Kerala.

The urgent duty of HSP is to take up the issues necessary to deepen the polarization among the people, beyond party politics, as a result of the existing political parties moving away from the problems of the people without bringing changes in the political, social and economic fields that are in line with the wishes of the people. Action programs should be formulated for this. HSP should be a party of those who uphold high political morality and fight for it. This party will organize an uncompromising struggle against the erosion of values and corruption that are deeply rooted in the society. This is a party that unites people from different social sectors and those who have never been involved in political activities. The party upholds the basic principles of democracy, secularism, socialism based on social justice and economic equality, gender equality, and value-based politics and comprehensive development. The party will achieve these goals by building a broad popular unity and conducting awareness-raising and organizational activities among the people and through struggle and agitation.
Social justice, one of the most controversial political issues in Indian politics in recent times, has become a driving force for the political revival of broad popular sentiments. On the other hand, it has become a subject that is being distorted and made inactive due to the interventions of powerful enemies. Social justice has acquired immense political importance today due to its connection with the historical features of the Indian social system. Social justice is today taking root and gaining strength in Indian politics as a powerful political equation that is going to shake the foundation of the feudal caste social system that has existed in India for centuries, if not millennia, and is going to change the mentality of slavery and move towards revolutionary socio-economic justice. It is precisely the political movements of social justice that have gained strength in post-independence India and often came to political power. Communist parties that do not accept social justice as part of the class struggle are becoming nothing for that very reason. The Indian social system is at a historical crossroads where it is ready for a fundamental dismantling. Hundreds of independence and control of power are nothing but a demonstration. Social justice proposes a new politics that ideologically strengthens the majority of the people to overcome this historical phase and move forward on the path of democracy, progress, development and corruption-freeness. Recognizing these features, HSP has placed value-based politics, social justice democracy, secularism, comprehensive development and gender equality as the central points of its political program.
Many events are happening in the country in such a way that it is believed that this is also a period of concern that the society has not gone backwards in the fight for the basic principles of our party, such as social justice, value in politics, corruption-free governance, and gender equality. Despite all the favorable natural conditions, climate, sea, mountains, and 44 rivers, and despite the influx of money from the diaspora, Kerala is still in decline. The left and right front rulers see power as an opportunity to protect corrupt people, aggressors, lawbreakers, land grabbers, various mafias, and women abusers. As a result, there has not even been natural development in Kerala as time goes by. Unemployment, price hike, corruption, agricultural stagnation, farmers' insecurity, dilapidated education and health sectors, roads that are taking human lives every moment, street dogs, drinking water shortage problems, problems of the landless and homeless, Dalit, tribal, coastal fishermen minorities, other backward and economically backward communities, these are not problems for the successive rulers. These kinds of problems are not discussed even during election time. Corruption and nepotism are more prevalent in government offices than ever. Rivers are being polluted. Coastal areas, mountains, backwaters and government lands are being encroached upon. The government protects those who encroach upon them. People do not get justice from local self-government institutions and government offices where deforestation is taking place. Wetlands and paddy fields are being filled up by the wayside. The government machinery and political leadership are helping the land mafias. Lakhs of lives are not given title deeds on recognized land without a place to lay their heads. An all-party decision was taken to give title deeds to all those who had forest land before January 1, 1977. For this, even after 50 years of identifying such land and fixing its boundaries with the permission of the Supreme Court, none of the successive governments is ready to give title deeds to them. Tens of thousands of acres of land are surplus land in the hands of big land grabbers. Governments are not interested in acquiring them and distributing them to the landless. Equal rights are being denied to the citizens.
The government is not careful in taking action against the corrupt and punishing them. The corrupt money should be returned to the government. The anti-farmer recommendations in the Kasturi Rangan and Madhav Gadgil reports on the Western Ghats should be rejected. Efforts should be made to do so. Measures to provide adequate land and housing to the tribals, Dalits and other landless people should be accelerated. The government's collective responsibility has been lost. The parties in the front systems have lost mutual trust. Unity and democracy have lost their reputation in the fronts and have disintegrated. Those who came to power by buying votes against corruption and saying that everything will be fine, are taking the initiative to punish and jail the corrupt people who were labeled as corrupt, those who were abused and those who were kept away by saying that they are the incarnations of corruption, those who were humiliated and those who were kept away by saying that they are the true embodiment of communalism, are trying to bring them together and share power. Anti-corruption becomes just nonsense. It is cheating the people.
Today is also a time when many incidents that question the dignity of women and consider women as objects of consumption are on the rise in Kerala and many other places in India. Even in Kerala, which is at the forefront of women's education and freedom, atrocities against women's dignity are increasing and many incidents that raise fears that the country is moving towards the old view of women as objects of consumption are continuously happening in the state and the country. Insecurity is growing in this field in the country. This is destroying women's freedom of movement and sense of security. This activity must be stopped. Our party should awaken the masses against these activities. Every comrade should pledge to unite the enlightened people of Kerala in an uncompromising struggle to oppose and defeat these evil trends.
To implement the party's slogans, we must forge alliances with political movements that accept it. Only then can we achieve our strategic goal.
We must use our limited power effectively to fight against the anti-government programs of the governments. The party must stand ready to take up the problems faced by women, Dalits, Adivasis, other backward classes and the economically backward sections of the society and to fight against social oppression. This political number should not be misconstrued as a mere alliance for elections or for governance, but should be recognized as a fighting alliance of dead economic political forces and a fighting alliance to isolate the reactionary classes that are organizing the economic system among themselves. Along with this, we must be able to attract mass organizations to the common struggle.
To achieve the above goals, the independent political work of the party and its increasing strength are necessary. Along with this, a special scientific struggle should be carried out with the other constituent parties of the alliance. Beyond a mere electoral alliance, our political alliance should be based on common programs or a set of policies.
But the independent work of the emerging party should be developed as per the demands of the contemporary environment. The party should have a function that enables us to approach and win over the people under the parties in the fronts. But what we see today is that due to the stance of the parties leading the fronts, the application of united front tactics is limited to the electoral arena only. They are not ready for coordinated action or joint agitation on the problems of the people. They are ready for any kind of joint campaign or meetings only at any election stage.
The party must be able to adopt appropriate electoral tactics to reach an understanding with the parties in the party's interest, within the framework of the political tactical line related to secular democratic forces.
There may be sudden changes in the political situation. New contradictions may erupt between and within the parties in the front. Political parties may split and merge to form new parties and undergo changes. Flexible tactics must be devised to deal with such situations. Our move towards collective struggles will have to form joint platforms with various social movements, such as popular uprisings, collectives and issue-based movements. The party can be strengthened only by developing its independent role and activities among the grassroots.
Majority communalism and minority communalism must be resisted.

When independence was declared, the Indian people looked forward to a free India and a new life for the people, hoping for an end to the miserable conditions of poverty and exploitation. For them, freedom meant land, food, fair wages, housing, education, healthcare, and employment. They interpreted freedom as freedom from social evils such as casteism, communalism, and religious hatred, and the realization of the cultural needs of the people in a democratic environment.
The Congress government, which had created a specific crisis of capitalist development pursued by the ruling classes since the 1950s, eventually led to the financial crisis by using IMF and World Bank conditions. The big business, which had previously supported government intervention to provide the infrastructure for capitalist development due to its weak capital base, accumulated sufficient capital over decades through government-assisted development and subsidies and fattened itself. By the end of the 80s, the big bourgeoisie was ready to enter the vital sectors reserved for the government, take over the public sector and enter new sectors with the help of foreign capital. The crisis that the state-led capitalist path faced along with this formed the basis for liberalization domestically. The collapse of the Soviet Union, which was foreign, led to the acceleration of the policy change process and the acceptance of IMF and World Bank dictates.
The pressure to open up and liberalize the economy led to a shift in economic thinking during the Rajiv Gandhi regime in the mid-1980s. The gradual liberalization of imports and the curtailment of short-term loans led to a huge fiscal deficit. This, along with the change in the international situation, led to the Congress government accepting the IMF and World Bank conditions for structural adjustment loans in 1991. As a result of the policies that followed, the economy was opened up to foreign capital, and the areas of activity that were previously reserved for the government and the public sector were opened up to private capital, both foreign and Indian. With a view to depleting the public sector, shares of public sector enterprises were sold and private companies bought them at low prices. As import duties were reduced, foreign goods were crowding out domestic products. As a result, many institutions have to close down and tens of thousands of workers are being thrown out of work. International finance capital is relentlessly pressuring the financial sector to continue. Privatization of the banking industry and opening up of the insurance sector have been given priority. The signing of the GATT agreement in 1994 led to India's acceptance of the supremacy of the World Trade Organization. Changes in patent law and opening up of the service sector benefit the interests of imperial capital. All this has led to the erosion of economic sovereignty. The ranks of new business families have reduced income tax rates under extensive liberalization. Many other taxes, such as property tax, have been eliminated and huge concessions have been given to big business families and financial groups. Such policies have greatly enriched the wealthy classes and expanded the market for luxury goods they consume. To meet this demand, goods are being manufactured domestically or imported in partnership with foreign capital. The uncontrolled inflow of foreign capital has affected the vital aspects of domestic industry. Multinational companies are buying up Indian companies. Even some sections of the non-large companies are willing to absorb foreign capital, but this has adversely affected a good section of the small and medium enterprises.
The Constitution of the Republic of India, adopted in 1950, laid down the guiding principles to be followed by the constitution.
These include the following.
• Every citizen has the right to an adequate standard of living and the right to work
• An economy free from economic concentration
• The right to education
• Free and compulsory education for children
• A living wage for workers
• Equal pay for equal work for women and men
• Social justice and economic justice
None of these principles have been implemented in practice even after 75 years of independence. HSP should take up these activities and work on behalf of the people.
Even after 75 years of independence, our country is lagging behind in many areas. Many of the constitutionally guaranteed rights of citizens are being denied. The ideas of secularism and socialism are being transformed into capitalism and a religious-based system in a way that was never seen before. Communal reservation, which was a stepping stone to social justice guaranteed by the Constitution, has been overthrown. The backward and underprivileged sections are still fighting for equality of opportunity. There are still many rural areas in India where health, education, land and housing are not available. Corruption has become universal. Corruption is a recurring theme in all fields. A mere 5% of the population owns 95% of the wealth. This inequality continues in all areas. On the basis of globalization and the New Economic Policy, people are changing their ways. Economic inequality is increasing. The majority of India's population lives below the poverty line. Lack of education and wealth makes their lives miserable. No government has been able to find a solution to this situation so far. Education for all, better living conditions and housing are the rights of every citizen. It is the duty and responsibility of the governments to fulfill them. The time has come to implement the Land Reforms Act across the country.
Successive governments have focused on the growth of corporates and portrayed their growth as the growth of the country. Many public sector enterprises that were operating in profit have collapsed due to the negligence of the authorities. Many public sector enterprises that were operating in profit are being sold to the private sector. Economic growth is at its lowest rate since Independence. It is not expected that India, which was moving forward with mixed economic policies, will collapse into a capitalist economic system. The most educated and skilled young people are migrating abroad. Action plans need to be devised to utilize their potential for our country. In India, where about 150 crore people live, we need to promote the agricultural sector by understanding that the farmer is the backbone of the country. It is their right to get a fair price for their crops. We can move forward by making the production of food products efficient and by involving the farmers. Similarly, equal opportunities should be guaranteed to the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes. It does not matter if a President or a Prime Minister has been elected from these groups. Their living conditions should change and the basic facilities should be prepared for that. Governments should take the initiative and take urgent steps for that. Educated youth should be seen as the wealth of the country and new opportunities should be created to enable them for the progress of the country.
If you come to Kerala, the per capita debt increases. The corrupt governments have turned Kerala into a consumer state. There are no important industries in Kerala. Liquor and lottery are what are driving Kerala now. New job opportunities are not being created. There is no time-bound development process. The life of the common people is becoming difficult. This must change. A secular system that brings all sections of people together is essential for the state. For that, there should be an administrative system that takes the famous Sivagiri pilgrimage goals of Sree Narayana Guru as its hallmark. It is necessary for the survival of the country and the world. The Hindustan Socialist Party is striving for that. India, which has worked in the field of development of the country and has seen the Guru's pilgrimage goals as the cornerstone in all its public welfare activities, can become a world power. The federal system should be further strengthened and the central-state relations should be utilized for the good of the nation beyond politics. During this period, let us unite as one, knowing the famous Aruvippuram message of Sree Narayana Gurudev, to work together to understand and act on the basis of our inner sense that we are Indians, without dividing the people of the country on the basis of caste, religion, class, and color. Let us move forward through democracy and secular socialism.
