Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Indian English Шаблон:Maoism sidebar Шаблон:Indcom The Historic Eight Documents are a set of eight monographs authored by the Indian Maoist revolutionary Charu Majumdar that outline the ideological principles on which the Naxalite militant communist movement in India was based.[1][2] They laid down the idea that the Indian State was a bourgeois institution and that the main Indian communist parties had embraced revisionism by agreeing to operate within the framework of the Constitution of India.[2] They urged a Maoist protracted people's war to overthrow the Indian State.[3] They denounced the Soviet Union both for being revisionist, as well as for supporting the Indian State.[2]
