[Reader-list] Govt report: land reforms

[Rakesh Iyer]

Great to see that we are also getting discussions on what could be the most
destructive movement by a state against its' own citizens in the name of
security threat. I remember a statement by Arundhati Roy as I read this,
though I don't remember the quote.

I too however wish to ask the same question to the Indian Govt: 'If the
Indian Govt is willing to talk to Pakistan in spite of 26/11, why can't we
talk to Maoists? Does the  courage of our Home Minister go on a pilgrimage
when dealing with Pakistan?'

In the name of strategic objectives to be achieved, a deadly war will be
launched soon, where the Indian state deals with a faceless enemy, not
knowing who is a Maoist and who is not. And we already know what our
paramilitary forces will do when they are forced in such a precarious
situation, as Kashmir, the North-East, and Chhattisgarh testify.
