War Against Maoists In India

[Guest]

These Naxals aren't any modern day Robin Hood or some the lovable outlaw brigands who fights for justice/poor anymore. Let's first break away from such urban myths.

Granted the movement (like most others) might have been born a result of injustice or exploitation of the poor/tribals/rurals, but the facts on ground today are quite different. Naxal leadership is extremely well organized and functions with the efficiency and ruthlessness of mafia cartel. Naxal leadership has hijacked some genuine cause to line up their pockets and build powerbase. This thread and other links provided are clear indicators that the Naxal leadership are the wolf in sheep’s colthing who exploit and terrorize the poor while pretending to the voice for the same. It's an irony that now the poor/marginalized themselves are organizing under 'Salwa Judum' to fight these Naxal.

There's only one word for the people in democratic society, who pick up arms and kill fellow citizens to make a political point (however right/wrong the point) - and it's called "terrorist". And not the negotiating table but some coroners table in a police mortuary is more appropriate for such fine citizens.

I'm surprised that educated members of our society can't see through this and go out of the way with excuses galore to white wash these terrorists.
