Bharatiyan Ultimatum to Bhutan
After intense discussion behind the closed doors of the Supreme People's Assembly of Communes and Villages, the Bharatiya Commune's People's Ministry of Foreign Affairs today issued a sternly worded ultimatum to the bloody butchers of workers and peasants, the government of Bhutan, declaring that The patience of the Indian workers and peasants is running thin when confronted with the horrible atrocities and oppression of feudalism which daily reach the ears of the free people of the Commune. The Commune is no longer willing to tolerate such a bastion of reaction, anti-democratic action, and tyranny which currently exists in Bhutan, and it is the determination of the Communard government to put an end to this unlawful and illegitimate regime and to establish a genuine sovereign, syndicalist, and democratic government in Bhutan aligned enjoying sisterly and friendly relations with the Commune. As a result, the Commune has issued the following ultimatum to the Bhutanese government, delivered just recently by the Communard ambassador at Punakham.
Already, Commune agents in Bhutan have begun to distribute propaganda leaflets and to conduct political work, assuring the Bhutanese workers and peasants that the quarrel of the Commune is not with the common folk of this poor and benighted country, but with their oppressive and tyrannical masters. Daring operations by Commune air units, equipped with newly-arrived French airplanes, dropped propaganda leaflets over Punakham, the capital of Bhutan, and similar operations have taken place throughout the rest of the country, testament to the crushing technological superiority which the Commune enjoys. Radio broadcasts by the Commune have declared its firm intent and resolve, as well as its fundamentally peaceful and fraternal nature in its attitude towards the Bhutanese people. Furthermore the threat posed by the Bhutanese government with the danger of its air bases and outflanking position to the Commune justifies this action before the world, to ensure the security of the revolution.
Commune military forces have been moved to full alert, on all borders, and cheering crowds of Communards decked the People's Air Force's pilots with wreaths of flowers as their planes rose, graceful and bird-like, into the still-cool morning air of Calcutta, bound north for air bases abutting the Bhutanese frontier. Similar displays greeted the movement of cavalry, infantry, and engineer units north, as the brave soldiers of the Commune girded themselves manfully for war, preparing to lay down their lives if need be for the liberation of their brothers across the border. Farmers in border local-defense communes accepted stoically the demands of military service placed upon them, as they prepared to assume their role in lines-of-communication units, to secure the advance of the regular army. Eagle-eyed and watchful soldiers and peasants hold steadfastly their guns in the West, prepare to stand against offensives conducted by the Entente-backed puppets in the so-called Dominion of India, or by the reactionary feudalists in the so-called Princely Federation. The fervor for the liberation of the peasants and workers of Bhutan reportedly runs high within the Commune, with ecstatic Communards declaring enthusiastically that no longer shall the bloody assassins of the people, secure in their mountain palaces whilst below them the farmers and common folk suffer, be allowed to engage in such feudalistic and despotic oppression. For too long has the Commune tolerated such horrors, in the necessity of its weakness, but the mood is clear in Calcutta and throughout the other bastions of syndicalism: no more shall foreign tyranny rear its ugly heads on the very borders of free people.
Workers of all lands, unite!
- The Bhutanese government will disarm all of its armed forces, and allow the free entry of Commune military and administrative forces into Bhutan to cooperate with the Bhutanese workers and peasants in establishing a sovereign and independent sister socialist republic upon popular and syndicalist lines.
- All Bhutanese military, administrative, institutional, and other important government facilities will be turned over to the Bharatiya commune intact and without damage.
- Following the arrival of Communard forces in Punakham, capital of Bhutan, the Bhutanese Royal Government will abdicate and be replaced by the People's Provisional Government of Bhutan, pending placing Bhutan on permanent footing as a sister syndicalist republic of the Bharatiya commune, coming into harmony on positions of international and domestic affairs in the interests of the presenting a bulwark against the threat of international capitalism and imperialism.
- In the interest of facilitating the rapid acceptance of this demand on the part of the Bhutanese government, and preventing excessive stubborn and futile resistance on the part of the royal government which currently controls the country, the King and attached figures found in Annex A are to be permitted to go into permanent exile, provided that they agree to never again return to Bhutan.
- The Bhutanese government has 12 hours to respond to the Commune ultimatum, or the workers and peasants of India will take matters into their own hands and put an end to the reign of the bloody butchers of poor farmers and common folk which currently exists in Bhutan.
