Their modus operandi is similar, they release list of people affiliated to different civil and democratic rights organisations and ask them to leave the organisation or face the consequences.

It would be naive to state that without the government’s official patronage all these things can happen.


How? The government can prevent Naxal-sympathaziers from being killed only as much as it can prevent Naxals from killing people.

The way the govt is dealing with naxalism is deplorable. They aren`t addressing the root causes at all. Apprently K.P.S Gill has been appointed advisor to help solve the naxal issue in Chattisgarh. He, who was responsible for some of the most flagrant human rights abuses in Punjab. A clear indication of where this govt is headed.

Until the govt`s policies are more pro-poor and dispossesed, risings be they violent or otherwise will continue. How long can you repress misery?

Simran -- you can be sure the government is headed to do everything to produce more Naxalites and Maoists making them multiply like rabbits --

one has to see the caste-ridden human degradation, deprivations and the extreme poverty in these particular areas to understand why the Naxalites......the government has no money to improve the lot of these people -- it has plenty to waste on maharaja`s white elephants -- the nuclear weapons....

nasah ji, simran

That`s the problem with you two. Just when one was ready to dismiss another one of Mr. Gatade`s endless and innumerable rants, you gave us something to think about. :(

Simran : ``Apprently K.P.S Gill has been appointed advisor to help solve the naxal issue in Chattisgarh. He, who was responsible for some of the most flagrant human rights abuses in Punjab.``

Thats small price to pay considering that if not for Mr.Gill , we would be having an independet Khalistan nation by now. But then thats probably what you wanted.

Indian007, Most calls for self-determination arise from a failure of the state. Instead of addressing such failures, the govt goes onto impose more draconian laws on an already aggrieved people and indulges in gross human rights violations. And people like you make things worse by saying things like that`s a small price to pay.

Gujju, knock it off.




This may be closer home: Dr. Rajkumar`s passing away was a shocker. Hope things settle down soon.

simran:

i do concur with you that the indian gov., since independence, hasn`t failed to implement policies which could alleviate the situayion in the hinterlands. but where else has it succedded (apart from a few things).

even mumbai which gives a lions share to the exchequer is neglected.

corruption, failure of administration, neglect has contributed to the miserable situation of those areas. but isn`t it prevalent even every indian city/town.

indian gov. was not right but nor are these ultra-communists. do you think their dream of making india like mao`s china is the answer for the problem??? that too through senseless violence?

but what are the naxalbaris going to achieve from violence????

their violence has to be dealt first that too with even greater violence against them so that other people will think twice before taking up arms agianst the establishment.

Oh please. Most calls for self determination rise from ethnic, linguistic or religious chauvinism. How did India fail Punjab or Kashmir any more than it failed any other state within India? In fact, Kashmir recieves more federal funding per capita than any other state. While Punjab does not get or need that kind of federal funding, it was the recipient of federal largesse through the canal system as well. This is ofcourse not counting the massive loans that were waived by the federal government after the insurgency was crushed. After all, let`s go back to the time before 1984, what massive failure of the state was responsible for the Akali agitation, the Anadpur Sahib resolution or the situation with Bhidranwale sitting on his charpai and issuing hit lists? Why was DIG Atwal killed on the steps of the Golden Temple? You talk about the HR abuses by Gill but keep silent on the other side.
