India Facing Growing Maoists Insurgency, Targets Rights Groups

[RiazHaq]

@Riaz
You continuously keep on ignoring to answer my question about 25% hence concluded you have lost the argument.

There is none so blind as those who will not see. And there is none so illiterate as those who will not read.

Please read the the following parts in the Newsweek story:

"For years the Maoists have practically owned the impoverished eastern state of Jharkhand, where my sister and her husband live in a rented house on the outskirts of a small, dusty town. The terrified local cops seldom venture outside their station houses."

"Deepak Ambastha is the editor of Prabhat Khabar, a Hindi daily newspaper. (He said,) "....the state's writ runs only within city limits."

It's obvious that the writ of the government in states like Chattisgrah and Jharakand is limited to a few cities, no different than Afghanistan.

India can ignore the problem at its own peril. Maoists can hurt India's best laid economic growth plans, according to Reuters:

While the economic impact may be small compared with India's trillion dollar economy, the insurgency and the sense that it is worsening signals that India does not fully control its own territory and adds to risks for companies mulling investments.

The Lalgarh incident worried the country's third-largest steel producer, JSW Steel, which is setting up a $7-billion, 10-million tonne steel plant near Lalgarh.

"We are waiting and watching, so are the others," Biswadip Gupta, chief executive officer of the company's West Bengal operations, told Reuters on Tuesday.

"On top of the economic woes, you have the problem of Maoists now. It is very jittery," Gupta said by telephone from Kolkata.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described Maoists as the biggest internal security threat since independence, and this year more than 300 people, mostly police, have been killed.

Mr.Haq India is not ignoring anything and appropriate measures are being taken. We are not a dictatorship where things happen overnight. Indian democracy is slow but definite and the naxal issue will be taken care of in due time. Thank you for your concern but don’t worry, over a billion people are there to worry about India already. Please stop posting your stupid articles and snippets from here and there.

Actually I disagree.There is no doubt that Maoists are a problem.

Will there be a civil war? NO!

Will India disintegrate? NO!!

What makes this difficult to tackle is what will you use? Guns or no Guns ???? both can be a problem! The biggest headache our political leaders have faced.

No need to listen to anybody, its an important topic, lets discuss.

Top Maoist leader and Sildah attack mastermind arrested

Kolkata/ New Delhi: West Bengal Police on Tuesday arrested a top Maoist leader who is believed top have masterminded the attack on a security force camp in Sildah killing 24 Eastern Frontier Rifles personnel.

The Maoist leader Venkateshwar Reddy alias Telugu Deepak was arrested from Kolkata by the West Bengal CID on the basis of a tip off.

Deepak is reported to be in-charge of West Bengal affairs and a close aide of Maoist supremo Koteswar rao alias Kishenji.

Police say Deepak, who hails from Andhra Pradesh, has more than 50 criminal cases pending against him.

He was arrested even as Maoists killed two people at a village in Bihar's Munger district late on Monday night.

According to police an armed Maoist squad raided the village late on Monday night and dragged the two people from their homes accusing them of being police informers.

They were taken to a secluded place and their throats were slit. The police have launched a search operation to nab the Maoists.

Meanwhile, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram called the 72-day ceasefire offer by Kishanji as "bizarre" and said the Maoists were attacking security forces while offering olive branches to the Government.

"It was a somewhat bizarre offer ... barely three hours after the so-called offer (by Kishenji on February 22), the CPI (Maoist) attacked a joint patrol party of the West Bengal police and the CRPF in Lalgarh, West Midnapore," Chidambaram said in new Delhi.

"In the seven days since then, there have been 18 significant acts of violence in Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal," he said.

"I may point out that 11 lives have been lost including that of Inspector Ravi Lahan Mitra of Saranga police station in West Bengal," he said.

The Home Minster said he had offered to facilitate talks with the CPI (Maoist) provided they abjured violence.

I dont mind having a discussion trisonics but I have seen and read this guy’s articles before and i know why he post them up here. We know what our problems are and we will handle them accordingly but the way these articles are written and how Mr.Haq conveniently cuts out bits and pieces from here and there to make the article more derogatory to Indians is unacceptable. I do not accept his way of writing and deliberately posting controversial articles. Not only he is going against basic forum rules by repeatedly advertising his stupid blog but he is also playing with the emotions of Indians and that is something that i wont sit and watch. Indian's can discuss the Naxal issue together with each other as it is our domestic issue, no need to internationalize it.

This maoist problem (earlier naxalite) has been around for decades now. Unlike TTP or other Pakistani extremists, these are localized and are more like an organized bandit band spread in multiple states. Its not that these guys have come in now and will derail our eco progress. These guys have been around all this while when the economic growth was shooting up..

You are quite correct.

People who do not have iota of knowledge about these movements are posting craps. You know, people say few areas of UP are also affected by this (near to MP order) but if you ask anyone.....he will die laughting.

Maoist presense, Maoist effect, Maosit dominance and Maoist control they all are different things. But I do not expect author to understand them as he does not seem to mature enough.

Govt is not willing to send army to avoid collateral damage. Afterall many of them are our own people. Also unlike some, our army does not poke its nose in every affair.

Maoist are basically fighting for so-called people's right but at the end they are killing the same peoples. They talk about development but they themselve destroy hospitals, roads, trains etc. In short there is no ideology anymore. If one look at their arms/resources one wonder from where they use to get those sophisticated weapons. Thus a foreign support is not completly ruled out.

Anyways GoI has taken some serious steps. There is a growing thinking in masses as well. With the expansion of "western" effect, more and more people are getting away from this leftist thoughts. Earlier this issue was avoided because of political reasons. If govt wishes they would be history. Recently there are some blows to them as few senior leaders are arrested. Wait and watch.

Here's an analysis titled "Vision 2010: a dangerous myopia" by Amiya Kumar Bagchi in the Hindu:

The Central budget of 2010-11 is a further step in the realisation of a vision of India vibrant with the income, wealth, saving, education and the entrepreneurial energy of the top 5-10 per cent of the population and the rest of Indians, serving that minority and surviving as barely literate, malnourished multitude.

With the accession of Rajiv Gandhi to power, a vision began to germinate. That vision was that of an India that would be vibrant with the entrepreneurial energy of the few, and the rest of the population serving those few with their labour.

---------------------
Look at the successes of the budget: the professional middle class is happy with the cuts in taxes collected from it. The business community, including foreign investors, is happy, because of further privatisation of public assets by which the Finance Minister proposes to raise Rs. 25,000 crore, because of the looming privatisation of many operations of the Indian Railways, whose kitty is nowhere near what it should be for even partial implementation of the projects announced by the Railway Minister, because the FDI path would be further smoothed and because licences would be issued for fresh private banks. Never mind if they fail as the Global Trust Bank did, the government will pick up the bill directly or indirectly, in accordance with its earlier record and the recent practice in the United States and Britain where banks failed but bankers remained prosperous. The Indian stock market responded positively, thus sending a message of welcome to the budget and generating profits for the bulls.

The Finance Ministers of the neoliberal Central government had earlier instituted the Fiscal Responsibility and Responsibility Management Act. This became their excuse to drastically cut down public investment and expenditure on the social sector. As soon as the global financial crisis hit India and the interests of the Indian rich demanded fiscal stimulus, the government overthrew fiscal orthodoxy and budget deficits soared. North Block policymakers can claim that the stimulus worked and the growth rates did not crash. The problem is with the content of that growth.

-----------------------------

The Union Cabinet recently approved an agreement with the U.S. on ‘Agricultural co-operation and food security.' Under an India-U.S. Agricultural Knowledge Initiative, multinational agribusiness firms such as Cargill and Monsanto can become members of the policymaking body. This is ironical since most of U.S. agribusinesses are conducted under the umbrella of huge government subsidies, while the current budget has cut the measly subsidies poor farmers enjoy in India. Indian agriculture has grown slowly in recent years, and food grain production has lagged behind population growth.

Ordinary Indians are badly malnourished and calorie intake has fallen over time. An Expert Group appointed by the Planning Commission has proposed 1800 calories per day as the norm of consumption by an adult for fixing the poverty line. This norm is applicable only for light or sedentary work. How is a construction worker with heavy head loads or an agricultural worker driving buffaloes in a flooded paddy land going to do his work and lead a healthy life or survive long? Even this norm yields an estimate of poverty of about 42 per cent in 2004-05, much higher than the estimates quoted officially. If the Food Security Bill is passed by Parliament, it will presumably be implemented by accepting the older estimate or the new estimate of the Expert Group. Either way, a vast number of people who are malnourished will remain in that state.

these people still singing the same song,so the story from our side is that pakistan have totally lost controll of balochistan,swat,fata and nwfp,so mr riaz how much % is that in terms of ur pakistani area

 

[RiazHaq]

Here's Ravi Rikhye, editor of Orbat, criticizing Indian home minister's boast about defeating Maoists in three years:

We told you speaking first thinking later is not just a Pakistani trait but is a subcontinental trait. Now the Indian Home Minister has announced that the Maoists, who are active in one-third of India's districts (counties) will be defeated in three years. What's so sad about this amazingly stupid statement is that the Minister is actually quite a brainy fellow and an effective administrator. The Maoist problem has plagued India for 40 years, and a lot of it tied up with social injustice. Its absurd to think its going to solved in three years when India has not been able to defeat straightforward secessionist insurgencies in its northeast for 40 years.

Riaz has gone mad...25% of Indian territory... Maoists are active in West Bengal does not mean they have control over whole state. They have their strong hold in Jungles in differnt states. But out of Jungle they will be dead ducks. Yet they are not armed like Talibans but regularly looting weapons and rifles from police forces which is a headache for the Administration. As prsently deployed State police forces and CRPFs are not trained for Jungle war fare it will be hard for them to take on the Maoists (If anyone does not have idea about indian jungles please consult who knows about it).

And tell me where did you get George Fernandase was produced by them. Please enlighten us with a valid source.

No, No, No
Not only Riaz who have gone mad according to you.
Every Pakistani who will post such that kind of facts about India will be mad. Because it hurt you. Isn`t?
