[Reader-list] NAXAL BRUTAL TERROR

Sat Apr 17 15:59:19 IST 2010

Dear Kshmendra,

You are right. It is respected state govt. negligence since years that
allowed to "build" wall and vote-bank politics made this wall thicker and
thicker and so we are suffering the sins. Just like negligence by WB govt.
allowing infiltrations of Bangladeshis to increase their vote bank in the
name of minor appeasement and their sins are suffering whole India, since
Bangladeshis spread almost all over India.

Whatever, happened in the past, but it is time to rectify mistakes and govt.
making/wants to make some sincere efforts but few rationalists like Aundhati
Roy and few vote seeker politicians comes in between. Even maoist made this
as their business now and don't want to come out by conversation, so they
even did not allow infrastructure in their area or destroys if made. So, it
is time for govt. to take some hard action though it is painful step.

Thanks

Bipin

Dear Bipin

You wrote : "Naxal/maoist army cadre has built a wall like (may be not
physical wall in some areas) periphery and cornered that area where army or
even police cannot go there easily, so to built all above infrastructure and
provide facilities to their local people is remote
possibilities."

I agree. That is an appropiate description of the situation.

What needs thinking is:

1. Did this "wall" exist when India becamje independent in 1947? No, it did
not. So what was it that allowed the Maoists/Naxals to build that "wall"?
Who ceded that space to them? Who allowed their violent-extremist ideology
to be propagated? Why were people attracted to it? Why did it become an
'alternative' for people to adopt instead of subscribing to the Constitution
of India?

    This is not a matter of the last 5 or 10 or 15 or 20 years, but a
culmination of indifferent and/or corrupted governance since 1947.

2. If you think the above is a resonable argument then please consider that
breaking down or bulldozing that "wall" might by itself alone not be a
solution. If the "root causes" are not addressed then it will be only a
matter of time that another "wall" comes up, and another, and another.

3. Wouldnt you agree that what needs to be done is to ensure that no one
lays the foundations for more such "walls"?

    Wouldnt you agree that the route for that is to make available competent
governance, opportunities and an environment of justice?

4. Yes that will be an arduous task since the "walls" are strong but that is
an impediment of our own making since we allowed the "walls" to come up in
the first place through neglect and we have to suffer that disadvantage. It
is a punishment for our own sins.

I believe that it is wrong to say that Naxal or Maoist are trying to protect
right of poor/tribal. As in case of terrorist or supporter of terrorist
(sleeper or active cell) are misguided by some terrorists group/wasted
interest, same way naxal/maoist are acting with misguidance. 

Many argues that we should built infrastructure like school, hospitals,
roads, industries and other amenities in naxal affected districts to provide
essential amenities and employment. But, actual situation in all such
district is very strange and different. Naxal/maoist army cadre has built a
wall like (may be not physical wall in some areas) periphery and cornered
that area where army or even police cannot go there easily, so to built all
above infrastructure and provide facilities to their local people is remote
possibilities. In the case, how can there up-liftment is possible? Is anyone
who favors them have thought this much extremities adopted by naxals/maoist.
Government did tried to solve by conversation and requested to allow govt.
machinery for developing infrastructure, but they boldly denied. If we want
to make some infrastructural work to provide facilities to people their then
one has to remove such boundary and freed the area even with the help of
army then also.

In the news and media air attack news was published. This is also myth,
there was no plan for air attack, but with the help air-force, aerial
surveillance or map view is necessary, so that army or police can go ahead
to capture that area and freed from maoist. Also, please note that most of
the poor/tribal are not supporting them by heart but they support forcefully
with gun on their head.

So, looking to above reason it seems that they made business to create
terror and playing in the hand of some wasted interest may be from outside
India. So, it is necessary to freed such naxal affected area from their
terror by any means. So if anyone says that naxal/maoist helping local
people or tribal is baseless.

Thanks

Bipin
