      I. Introduction

      The 34 year CPI-M (Communist Party of India-Marxist) rule in West Bengal, India was characterized by terror, exploitation, crime, corruption and slavery of the masses unprecedented in the human history in recent times. Long before they came to power the political party had established its reputation of criminal and horrible activities of murder, rape, extortion of money from common people, terrorizing the voters and all opponents. During their horrible regime any protest against them was sure death. This so called political party had two major wings to enforce their heinous activities and remain in power by rigging elections. They were the secret army, Harmads and the Herr Goebbels squad, the Makus.

      The Harmads

      The CPI-M was created after division of the CPI (Communist Party of India) in 1964. They joined govt. in 1967 when the United Front (UF) govt. led by Ajay Mukherjee, came to power by defeating the National Congress. The govt., under chaotic situation, was dissolved and again the UF came to power in 1969. As early as 1967, the top leaders of the CPI-M, with perfect foresight, realized that by fair means they would never be able to capture power in West Bengal on their own. So they decided to form a secret army to rig elections and terrorize people to vote for them. To this end all the die-hard criminals from all over India and even from other states were invited to join the army with the assurance of political and legal protection against all their crimes. They were also lured by the prospect of getting lucrative booties of looted property and women. Thus the secret army was soon formed and major CPI-M leaders brought them under their command.

      It was also felt that these stray criminals needed proper training in modern arms and weapons and therefore Goanese Portuguese criminals, expert in modern arms were hired from the districts of Birbhum and Bankura. They had a long history. Their forefathers were Portuguese pirates in the South and South-East Asia high seas. Onslaught of the British Navy during the 19th century had forced them to give up high sea piracy and get settled in Goa
