Naxalism and ultra leftism is it justified does one need to sympathise with this school of thought!

Indian Political Apparatus despite its flaws and short comings is maturing as a democracy and evolving as a Republic. Leftism is a doctrine which is plausibly an ideology which can establish an egalitarian society but however this school of thought has not stood the test of time and several events in world history bear testimony to the fact that this school of thought is not a 'Divine Revelation' and panacea for human kind. Democracy gives every section of its polity an opportunity to choose the government, No one denies the fact that Some sections of society are not beneficiaries and recipients of the largesse and agenda of governance. There are Legitimate 'forums' and Institutions where one can air ones grievances and exercise ones choice in every election by exercising one's franchise.

Naxalism and Maoism is not merely a rebellious and 'antiestablishment' movement but it has undercurrents of collateral damage and its a form of terrorism which poses a grave threat to Indian democracy. Every Individual in India has some or the other grievance with the Powers-that-be but taking recourse to violence and indulging in subersive,seditious and 'war monging' pursuits isn't going to provide the intended remedy. Its startling to learn when Activists of Civil Liberties and Human Rights take pride in the fact Maoists were the ones who Championed the cause of the disadvantaged and marginalised sections of society with far greater fervor than any other crusaders. There is no doubt there is disillusionment and grouse against the Political establishment but violence,sabotage will not rectify the system and compel the parliamentarians to address the grievances of the Maoists.


The Police has not been adequately trained to combat naxal menace,The Intelligence agencies have also not been able to nip it in its bud. The bureaucracy has become the target of Maoists too.Despite the blood bath and havoc wrecked by the maoists time and again the government dishes out the rhetoric of imploring naxals to shun violence and shows its so called magnanimity to have a dialogue with them. Naxalism is spreading its tentacles far and wide, it is also likely maoists have extra territorial loyalty. Its very unfortunate the human rights lobby perceives naxalism as a harbinger of alleviating poverty, revolutionising the system and running a parallel government. India is beleaguered by ethnic conflicts,cross-border terrorism,regionalism and secessionism and naxalism is proving to be another predicament to tackle.Its high time the media and civil society exposes the double-standards of human rights activists of sympathising with naxals and the patrons of naxalism have to be dealt with an iron hand.

The modus operandi of Naxals is demoralising the Police and shaking the foundation of our political set-up, its high time the government takes stern measures to ensure it doesn't become 'Pan Indian' and become a subject-matter for film makers to glorify them and project them as messiahs of the poor and down trodden.
