In the recent months, Maoism has caught on as the most serious challenge to India's Law and order. This admission is really huge, given that, we Indians are regularly used to Pakistani based militants attacking us whenever they want to, killing innocent people. Now, we have our own citizens (of course it's possible that they have help from China and/or Pakistan) attacking CRPF personnel first and now even innocent people. I have seen articles on both sides of the aisle: supporting the cause of the Naxalites and opposing their cause. The biggest difference in these two arguments is, the people who oppose the naxalites are not trying to brush away the development issue. All they are saying is to ensure development you need to maintain law and order. After today's blast on the railway tracks in West Bengal, I hope all the people who support the naxalites will call it quits and increase pressure on the government to act against these butchers. Yes thats what they are! If their cause was improving the cause of the tribal people they had no reason to attack innocent civilians travelling on a train (most probably not affecting tribal population in any way). These butchers are attacking India. Their objective (which most of the people who support them do not even value) is to dismantle our democratic government. Do you get that? And after what they are doing over the last two months they seem to believe that they have the strength to do that. Will the people who support Naxalites wake up at least today and accept them as a menace. Please!
I would like to ask Ms. Arundhati Roy whether she still calls these butchers Gandhians with Guns. The comparison is a sleight even to Gandhi (People who know me well enough do know the kind of respect I have for Gandhi, but thats for some other day!)
