Following.

A total of 12 progressive Indian writers gathered at the estate: Premchand, President of the Progressive Writers' Association, Annad, Vice President, Arim, Secretary-General, Sagard, former Secretary-General, Abbas, Bombay Writers' Leader, and Uddin, Hyderabad Writers' Leader...... More writers were supposed to receive invitations, but they were absent for various reasons.

This was not a formal meeting, but a meeting of progressive writers' leaders.

The meeting place was on the grass in the manor, and there were obviously enough chairs and benches, but everyone sat on the ground, with a plate of melons and fruits in front of them. When it's time to eat, each person is placed in front of a banana leaf, and the servant scoops the rice onto the banana leaf and drizzles it with a large spoon of curry soup.

Small spoons are definitely available, but they are only used to add ingredients and accompaniments, and people grab them directly with their hands when eating.

It's just pilaf, after all, it's people's food customs. But for Mao to pinch and pinch the curry juice rice with his hands, just like a child playing with mud, kneading it into a rice ball and then bringing it to his mouth to gnaw slowly? Combined with the black color of the curry rice, it really looks like a ...... Vomit!

Zhou Hexuan saw a chill and honestly took the rice with a spoon.

By the way, last night Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Leyi were in a hurry, and they all went to the field outside the manor to solve it, and the huge manor didn't even have a toilet. He was accompanied by a servant with a jar of water in his hand.

Of course, the water in the jar is used to wash the buttocks, and in general, you have to pour water with your left hand to wash it, and finally wash your left hand by the way. The powerful can let the servants do it for them, for example, last night, a servant wanted to help Zhou Hexuan wash his buttocks, so frightened that Zhou Hexuan hurriedly took out a paper to solve it. The servant felt aggrieved by this, perhaps because he felt that he had not done his job well, or perhaps because he felt that he had been neglected.

……

I used to talk to each other about small talk, and I only got to the point when I started eating.

The speaker was not chaired by the President and Secretary-General of the Indian Progressive Writers' Association, but the Vice-President, Anald. The man put down the curry rice in his hand, waved his right hand stained with yellow juice, and said: "Gentlemen, Marx once wrote about the Indian question: all natural and man-made disasters can only touch the surface of India, and Britain destroys the social fabric of India. The Indians have lost the old world and not gained a new one, and we have severed ourselves from all our traditions and history! ”

All the writers shook their heads slightly, expressing their agreement with this view.

Of these, only one or two are Communist, but the rest are inclined to or sympathetic to Communist theory. In particular, the vice-chairman, Anard, has publicly stated that he was deeply influenced by Marx, and has also translated Marx's works into India and serialized them.

It may be difficult for everyone to understand that Mao, a large group of high-caste bourgeois writers, would choose to sympathize with or even join the Communist Party.

It's actually quite simple, they all learned it from the British. In the 30s, the British longed for the Soviet Union, the Indians longed for the British, and Soviet communism was introduced to India in this way, and then used to resist British colonial rule.

Since it is a two-handed hand, there is naturally a difference in content. The communism that the Indians were looking for was a weakened version of the British, strictly speaking more akin to reformist socialism.

Violent revolution? Hehe.

These Indian writers did not dare to shout communist slogans while supporting Gandhi's "non-violent non-cooperation movement."

Anard continued: "The mission of our progressive writers, and the mission of all Indians, is to be destructive, i.e., to destroy the old Asian-style society, and second, to be constructive, to build a Western-style modern society in Asia! If we want to break the old society and build a new society, we must transform our thinking and correct our concepts. And the renewal of ideas and concepts needs to be publicized through literary works, and this is what we at the Indian Progressive Writers' Association must do! ”

"Bang bang bang!"

The writers clapped their left hand on their right wrist.

Chairman Premchand approving: "Anald spoke very well and clearly. We cannot go it alone, we must unite again and expand our influence. Alim, tell me about the Writers' Association. ”

Secretary-General Alim said: "We have not met for more than three years since the Second Congress of the Progressive Writers' Association was held. In the past three years, our writers have been arrested, our magazines have been shut down, local chapters have been devastated, and the daily work of the Progressive Writers' Association has come to a complete standstill. Now that things have turned around, the British have recognized in the Declaration of the United Nations to allow India to become independent, but they have refused to keep their promises, and all Indians should stand up and condemn it. In this case, the British could not have gone too far, and the opportunity for our progressive writers' association to make a comeback has come! ”

Zhou Hexuan laughed secretly when he heard this, these Indian writers actually have to look at the faces of the British even to engage in literary propaganda, and they must take advantage of the international trend to dare to stand up. Looking at China's "Left Alliance" again, the "Five Martyrs of the Left Alliance" appeared shortly after its founding, and the surviving writers are still going forward and following suit. And the British only arrested writers and seized magazines, but they did not kill people at all.

Compared to their Chinese counterparts, Indian writers are too weak and fearful.

Former Secretary-General Sagard laughed: "I also agree with Alim that now is a good time for the development of the Progressive Writers' Association. I propose that the Third Congress of the All India Progressive Writers' Association be convened in the near future to restore all the damaged organizations! ”

Anard added: "Of course, we should not blindly oppose the UK, but seek cooperation in opposition. Now that the mainstream of civilized countries in the world is anti-fascism, we should build an anti-fascist united front in the Indian literary circles. In doing so, it will not only facilitate the work, but also gain the support of the British. ”

"Mr. Annard is such a wise man, and we really should raise the anti-fascist banner." Abbas, the leader of the Mumbai writers, applauded.

Premchand suddenly asked Zhou Hexuan: "Mr. Zhou, you are one of the initiators of the 'International Anti-Fascist Alliance', do you have any good suggestions for this?" ”

The "International Anti-Fascist League" has long spread to the whole world, especially in the United States, Britain and China, with a total membership of more than 200,000 people worldwide. However, the organization is very loose, and most of the chapters have been reduced to reading clubs, leaving only the functions of learning, discussion, publicity, donation, and international support.

As the president of the "China Branch of the International Anti-Fascist League", Zhou Hexuan's only role was to publicize the Anti-Japanese War, encourage him to join the army, and raise donations through the journal "Non-offensive". The members everywhere are scattered, there is no organization at all, and everyone does not even regard this as a serious group organization.

Zhou Hexuan said: "I am very much in favor of establishing an anti-fascist front in the Indian Progressive Writers Association. Fascism was the common enemy of all mankind, and in the Axis plans, Germany expanded to the north, west, and east, Italy to the south and east, and Japan to the east and south. Their goal was to occupy the entire continent of Asia, Europe and Africa, and India was in the midst of fascist expansion. The British are just colonizing, and the fascist countries are even more brutal, and they will openly rob you of all your wealth. The German massacre of the Jews, the Japanese-made Nanjing Massacre, such a tragedy could be staged in India. ”

"Mr. Zhou said it very well, fascists are the devil!" Sagard chimed in.

Zhou Hexuan continued: "Therefore, the Indian people should not have unrealistic illusions about Japan, thinking that they have come to liberate India. Now, some of the remnants of the Indian army in Burma, with the support of Japan, have formed an army, and they help the Japanese to attack the British army. This is extremely wrong, if the British are bandits, then the Japanese are demons. Dear Indian writers, you must write articles to promote it, and don't let the Indians become accomplices of the devil. ”

The writers present nodded their heads, they belonged to the representatives of the new bourgeoisie, who opposed Britain and only wanted to fight for more rights. Fascism is too terrible, maybe one day it will be directly slaughtered and looted, it is better to be honestly colonized by the British.

Zhou Hexuan also said: "In order to strengthen the communication and study between Chinese and Indian writers, I suggest that the Indian Progressive Writers Association and the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles should have more exchanges. In my capacity as an honorary director of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, I invite Indian writers to visit China. ”

"I'm willing to go to China!" Annard raised his hand.

Anald is indeed the best person to visit China, he is the initiator and vice-president of the Indian Progressive Writers' Association, and he is a high-ranking and low-ranking person. I took a plane to China for exchanges, and when I returned to India just to attend the Third Congress, I was able to learn a lot of experience in the struggle of China's progressive writers.

Zhou Hexuan did not expect that Anald's trip to China would directly change him from a pro-communist to a communist party of India. After only two months in Chongqing, he became an outright admirer of Taizu, and later established a Maoist guerrilla group in rural India.

It was also because of Zhou Hexuan's invitation that the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Indian Progressive Writers Association strengthened their contacts, and the two sides maintained close relations until the early 60s. It was not until the 80s that the literary circles of the two countries resumed contact, and Zhou Hexuan was known as "a bridge for literary exchanges between China and India".
