  The Peoples Will Stop the Wars!
War and violence are the very foundation of this empire, of this subjugation of whole nations.
Millions of people have already experienced the dead-end of capitalist and opportunist politics; as their anti-war sentiment grows they are also assimilating their experiences and looking for the way forward.
This means that people must start from their own aims and rally around an immediate program which demands an end to U.S. aggression and intervention everywhere, the withdrawal of all U.S. troops stationed abroad, recognition of the sovereign equality of every country and the demilitarization of our country.

 The Philosophy of War [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
War certainly generates confusion, as Clausewitz noted calling it the "fog of war", but that does not discredit the notion that war is organized to begin with.
Many who explain war's origins in man's abandonment of reason also derive their thoughts from Plato, who argues that "wars and revolutions and battles are due simply and solely to the body and its desires." That is, man's appetite sometimes or perpetually overwhelms his reasoning capacity, which results in moral and political degeneration.
Just war theory begins with an assessment of the moral and political criteria for justifying the initiation of war (defensive or aggressive), but critics note that the justice of warfare is already presumed in just war theory: all that is being outlined are the legal, political, and moral criteria for its justice.

 The Peoples’ War Group and Its Criticism by the ‘Concerned Citizens’
More and more people see through their own eyes that they are living under a barbaric regime which has no concern for human values and life, people themselves come to realize that they cannot find respite except by getting rid of reactionary rule, except by overturning them.
Interestingly, these people who are now taking this ultra-right position, glorifying the elections as a positive opportunity for the people, are those who one way or the other have been closely associated with the ultra-left, nihilist politics of Peoples’ War for decades.
Even, the insufficient participation of people in the elections is due to ignorance of politics by the masses in general and not due to the conscious negation of representative institutions or the election process by the masses.

Indigenous peoples are divided into at least 5000 peoples ranging from the forest peoples of the Amazon to the tribal peoples of India and from the Inuit of the Arctic to the Aborigines in Australia.

 Peoples' War Group (PWG)
The PWG champions the cause of the landless and targets landlords, law enforcement personnel and other symbols of authority in the northeast, east central and southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Orissa.
The PWG intensified its attacks after three top commanders were killed 02 December 1999, in an encounter with police officers in Andhra Pradesh State and has been responsible for dozens of incidents of violence since then.
These groups cite as evidence the refusal of police to hand over the corpses of suspects killed in "encounters," which are often cremated before families can view the bodies.

 War (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
War is a phenomenon which occurs only between political communities, defined as those entities which either are states or intend to become states (in order to allow for civil war).
Certain political pressure groups, like terrorist organizations, might also be considered “political communities,” in that they are associations of people with a political purpose and, indeed, many of them aspire to statehood or to influence the development of statehood in certain lands.
War and Morality, are G.E.M. Anscombe's “War and Murder” and Jan Narveson's “Pacifism: A Philosophical Analysis”.

 QuestionWar Home
Wars are forced upon naturally peace-seeking peoples with deceptive and coercive tactics by a small minority ruling class.
While there are many factors and players involved in the complexities of starting and running a war such as militarism, racism, patriotism, nationalism, etc, the fundamental cause and directing force is cold/calculated planning by a small group of people in positions of political and economic power.
Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience.

Do you feel that with these kind of problems, on the rise PWG instead of fighting to solve it, are right in saying that they will provide a organized society with the help of arms.
“War” fights for the betterment of the poor, dalits and the weaker section of the society, but PWG is led by people who belong to the forward communities.
You are right, the people who rule war are upper castes, it is people's innocence that they think these war people are fighting for equal society.

 Iranian peoples - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As Iranian peoples are not confined to the borders of the current state of Iran, the term Iranic peoples is sometimes used to avoid confusion with the citizens of Iran.
The Iranian peoples have played an important role throughout history: the Achaemenid Persians established one of the world's first multi-national states and the Scythian-Sarmatian nomads dominated the vast expanses of Russia and western Siberia for centuries with a group of Sarmatian warrior women possibly being the inspiration for the Greek legend of the Amazons.
The southern Iranian peoples survived Alexander the Great's conquests, Muslim Arab attempts at cultural dominance and devastating assaults by the Mongols, whereas the Iranians of the north were largely assimilated by the Slavs and other European peoples.

 The Incursions of the Sea Peoples
The Late Bronze Age witnessed great upheavals in the eastern Levant, a weakening of the Mycenaean civilization, the collapse of Hatti at the beginning of the 12th century BCE, the destruction of a number of important cities [8] among them Ugarit which, according to a cuneiform tablet happened after the death of Merneptah.
The Egyptians met an army of the Sea Peoples in southern Canaan and defeated them, before it could enter Egypt (if they were moving in that direction at all.) But it has also been suggested that, rather than routing an army, the Egyptians overcame a column of people fleeing before them.
The Egyptians were possibly inferior as sailors and their ships seem to have been technologically less advanced, but they were powered by both sail and oars and were thus much more manoeuvrable inshore than the sailing ships of the attackers.

 Indigenous peoples - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In English, indigenous peoples are collectively referred to by several different terms which vary by region and include such ethnoynms as Native Americans, Amerindians, Indians.
Notable indigenous populations include the Sami people of northern Scandinavia, the Finnic peoples of southern Fennoscandia, the Basques, the Nenets and other Samoyedic peoples of the northern Russian Federation, and the Komi peoples of the western Urals.
Peoples have invaded or colonised each other's lands since before recorded history and so the division into indigenous and non-indigenous is a matter of judgement.

 WWII Guide: Hollywood's World War II Combat Movies
But these war films did much more: they helped educate viewers in the reasons why we fought by depicting "democracy in action." Apart from offering a sense of wartime crisis, these films were allegories of a democratic nation at war.
The group's very composition underscored the fact that this was a democratic war - a peoples' war - drawing upon every segment of society.
Although these groups were usually commanded by a strong leader, success ultimately depended on the men's ability to operate as a team, balancing individual acts of heroism with professionalism and mutual cooperation.
