Watching Indian news. Naxalites attacking this, naxalites that..attacks go on and on. Who are these naxalites? What are their grievances? Why do they have support of the local population? What do they hope to gain through their violent acts? What motivates these people to become naxalites? How many Indian states are dealing with naxalites? Are they poor and hungry people who have willingly become naxalites?
Could it be that only say a tiny minority of Indians are reaping the economic benefits of the "new shining India" and that 90 percent of people are desitute and out of that very few misguided poor and hungry people have become naxalites and stooped to such lowly acts?
If India cannot stop internal problem of naxalites how can it deal with pakistani sponsored terrorism?

naxalite ek bahut badee problem bante ja rahe hain india main..may be bigger than terrorism..
pichle kuch saalon main yeh india ke bahut abde area main fail chuke hain :- andhra pradesh , chattisggarh , orrisa , bihar , m.p. , U.P , west bengal .

inhone haryana main bhi enter hone ki koshish ki hai..

politicians abhi bhi yeh hi soch rahe hain ki yeh ek bahut choti si problem hai..

Ho sakta hai aage jakar yeh north india main bhi apna hold bana lein..
 
So naxalites are in 7 states. And as you say their numbers are increasing and they are spreading to other states then they must have support of the local population? What are their grievances?
 
Send armies sleeping in baracks and cantonments to these Naxalite states.. Let them practice some shooting... I am sure its againg Paki-supported movement.. It became menace in many states...
 
Truly Naxalism is a big problem that India is facing today besides the glaring problems of terrorism and threats from neighbouring states. The web of Naxalism is spread across a large part of the country. It started in West Bengal and then gradually spreaded to other parts of India and mostly concentrated to a region known as naxal belt. It has become a great threat to the internal security of the country. Naxalism is result of poor implementation of welfare policies, uneven economic development, corruption and administrative failure to cater to the needs of the masses. Its a malaise that has grown up from the faults of the governing system. What is required is to reach out to the suffering multitudes and redress their problems. There should be proper coordination among all the states to deal with this problem which is not confined to any single state.
 
I will again throw the stone on our Politicians for this too.
This is our pathetic political system which gives birth to such groups they support them for their political benifits but after some time they lost the control on them and that's the time from where real trouble starts they don't want to take actions against them because of vote bank.

Even today i was reading that Mr. Karunanidhi was saying that Prabhakaran chief of LTTE is his friend and i m sure he is trying to drag him in Indian Politics. What the great Leaders we have Clap for us :mad:
 
You may try reading the book " India after Gandhi " by Sh Ramchandra Guha, who has detailed the root cause of naxalism in India and much more about the way Indian Democracy functions/does not function.

No One Can Stop Naxalism

India have a lots of big corrupted people. Actually after Britishers nation was gone into polticians hand. In the starting corrupted people was silent. Phir uske bad wo sab hone laga jo kaam Raaja Maharajao ke time hota tha. Awsarwadi log fayda uttane lage. AAj ke jaamane mai powerful and Rich people have all kind of rights. Aur Jo Log mehanat karte hai unke haath kuch nahi aata hai.

NAXALS, an intresting in-depth article about Naxalism !

Hi all,

You all must be aware about Naxal problem in India. It's been a very old n' big threat to India's internal security and recently it has taken a bigger n' devastating mode.

Today I found an interesting n' informative article about Naxalites, its indeed an in-depth article which shed light on Naxals, a must read by Hilary Pais!

THE NAXALS, is the most comprehensive document on the subject of NAXALITES in INDIA. The article begins with the genesis of the REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT in 1967 and covers the situation right up to the present times.

http://hilarypais.org/naxals.html

.. The press called them Naxalites. They called themselves by other names, until September 2004, when the leading factions came together and decided to call themselves the Communist Party of India (Maoist). In this article I call them the Naxals. That is easier on my system and is also easier to read. More important, it avoids the confusion created by the existence of about a dozen Communist parties in India distinguished mainly by within the brackets suffix that follow their names. The name Naxal comes from a village called Naxalbari in North Bengal. In January 1968, I was transferred from Shillong which was the capital of the then State of Assam, to Delhi. My family and I decided that we would travel by road. It was on the second day of that journey that we drove into Naxalbari in the early afternoon.. Naxalbari was then famous for its May 1967 armed peasant Insurrection against the landlords. The word bari is often used in the Bengali and in the Assamese languages with names of villages and is also used to describe one's home and homestead. And what did we see in Naxalbari? Plenty of police pickets. The little shops were closed. The adult population was indoors. The children however, came out to watch when they saw the civilian car. Soon they were by our side looking and smiling at the little baby, our son. That Naxalbari at that time was a disturbed area and notified by the government as unsafe, did not deter me, my wife, my three-year-old daughter and a few weeks old son, from making that journey. In fact, driving into and out of Naxalbari gave us a unique feeling. From Naxalbari we drove to Phansideva which is a cluster of villages to the immediate west and from there, to Purnea which is in the State of Bihar. Would we make the same journey in today's circumstances? The answer is a very definite no. Conditions today are different and I do not mean the threat from Naxals. It is the politician, police and criminal nexus that governs that and other parts of the country that makes it scary. Ordinary citizens find it difficult to distinguish a criminal in a politician's garb or a policeman acting as a dacoit or vice versa. There is near total absence of rule of law and of social justice. This applies to India's major cities as well and not just to its rural hinterland. Those who have been following the Jessica Lal homicide case in Delhi, will appreciate what I am saying. In cases that would normally be considered slam dunk, material evidence is destroyed and what evidence remains, is fudged to favour the rich and the powerful. And this happens not in a remote corner of the country but in Delhi, the country's capital, whose police force is controlled and managed directly by the Home Ministry of the Government of India. These ground realities in the country have a direct bearing when we discuss why and how the Naxal movement has grown ..



Guys, read the article, add your two cents and other informative links and let us discuss the cause, cure and preventive measures of the big threat to peace n' security - Naxalism !



Cheers
Jit

Thanks Jit for sharing such a nice link. Interesting and informative read.

"Our neighbour, Sri Lanka has already implemented police reforms on the lines similar to the Dharmavira Commission recommendations"

Could someone post main points of those said Police reforms? No-a-days chidambaram is doing a bit towards the same, heard that he demanded free-hand to tackle this but he was not allowed. Hope he may succeed.
