India Facing Growing Maoists Insurgency, Targets Rights Groups

[RiazHaq]

the Maoists are there and provide a serious threat....there is not doubt about it....they have had valid reasons...but ways have been stupid to say the least...
their days are counted...and their influence is gradually shrinking.

MY famous last words?

This statement belongs in the category of "Famous Last Words".

"You provide very good arguments, no doubt, India is also about to collapse in a few months time too?"

An Indian friend of mine who browses this forum but doesn't have an account wanted me to say that.

Desi, it works both ways, have you lately seen all the little Indian heads popping up everywhere like weed. Most of them seem to be well on their way in joining RSS and running around in knickers.

I saw the baluchistan thread a while ago, its deleted now. So shall we flood this thread which baluchistan, pashtoonistan or sindhistan ?

You want to discuss Indian internal issues and term India as harsh on minorities whereas there is only one nation in region which was dismembered due to mistreatment on minorities.

This is called hypocrisy.

we know that india is no paradise without any offense, i mean there are lot of movements, insurgencies, a vast number of terrorists organizations operating and destabilizing india etc. but this dosen't bother me bcz i don't care about these matters. it's indian problems....and i preffer to fix our problems. It will be usefull for indians to lookafter their problems rather to criticize always Pakistan on diffrent issues bcz if you think rationally indians have far away bigger problems then our's but some forces dosen't focus on them bcz they are too busy with Pakistan.

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.

Very enlightening. Go through this wiki link and tell me if situation, leave afghanistan, is even comparable to pakistan

hey cool down and think before posting such comments bcz if we really start talking about minorties rights, discriminations and opression for sure their would be a long list for indian crimes....maybe you should read or focus also on your internal issues rather to criticise always Pakistani isuues. i just don't want to go offtopic but did u already forget about the last (and not the least) facts? Cristians burned alive in their houses, churchs, on roads and nobody cares about it....i just watched it on italian news few months ago. so it's better for everyone here to not go offtopic.

The Maoist story in India is hot one right now, with lots of news and statements from all sides, including home minister and his critics.

The story is not going to go away just because you wish it would. That's not how the world operates.

As Ravi Rikhye says, "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 be solved in three years when India has not been able to defeat straightforward secessionist insurgencies in its northeast for 40 years."


So deal with it and stop protesting.

Ohh we are dealing with it..i said it in details with links that how their main leaders are caught or shot down...and i also give links of how they are desperate for talks and ending of operation green hunt..still you like to run in circles..If i post links here and discuss here you will start another thread about the samething agains..i am quite bored of retyping things again and again..

I can also give you plethora of Human rights violations in your country and yes even about christians. Is there any minority from Pakistan in this forum ? We have many "oppressed" Christians, Sardar ji's and Muslims from India. Yet no one complaints ???

You know the truth and so do we. Agni missile is developed by Dr Terry thomas whose nuclear warhead is developed by Abdul kalam and firing order will be given by Manmohan singh.

Take your crocodile tears to your gullible audience who might beleive you.

I am amazed at your ignorance of the reality of minorities in India, particularly Indian Muslims. It seems you buy Indian government propaganda hook, line, and sinker.

According to a report, produced by a committee led by a former Indian chief justice, Rajender Sachar, Muslims were now worse off than the Dalit caste, or those called untouchables. Some 52% of Muslim men were unemployed, compared with 47% of Dalit men. Among Muslim women, 91% were unemployed, compared with 77% of Dalit women. Almost half of Muslims over the age of 46 couldn’t read or write. While making up 11% of the population, Muslims accounted for 40% of India’s prison population. Meanwhile, they held less than 5% of government jobs.

The story is hot and you want to use it to popularise your blog. isn't it?

OK so what else do you think GOI is doing.. Aren't all the efforts foccused on solving this mess? and people here are not protesting that Maoists are threat or not.. they are actually telling you that the numbers you are throwing up in terms of % is not correct on ground.

for generations indians have struggled against the oppressive new delhi regime.

120 million dead since independence to the brutal butchers of delhi

gandhi would be rolling in his grave if he knew.

We are not as Saintly a country as China.. lets see what happened in Tibet, XinXian, Tinamen square.. You are Saint and super rich and super power.. Happy??

There is no greater human right than the right to food, shelter and clothing. And the Chinese, even the Pakistanis, have done a better job of respecting this basic human right than India.

Speaking in 2008, Indian planning commission member Syeda Hamid acknowledged India's failure in meeting its people's nutritional needs when she said, "I should not compare. But countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are better." She was speaking at a conference organized last year by the Confederation of Indian Industry and the Ministry of Development of Northeastern Region.

So the fault lies with Govt or as you are implying, Hindus? Just get the percentage how many Muslims send their children to school. Then get the percentage how many send to Grad/ Under-Grad programs.

And by your logic, Pakistan is also dominated by Punjabis. Here is quick statistics on Baluchis

Balochistan has 48 per cent of total territory of Pakistan and mere 5 per cent of population. It is endowed with rich mineral wealth (natural gas, coal and minerals).

25 per cent of the population has access to electricity (national average, 75 per cent). The male literary rate is 18.3 per cent and the female literacy rate seven percent. Compared to the 340 vocational institutes and commercial and law colleges in Punjab, Balochistan has only nine such institutes in urban areas, with poor infrastructure. It has the highest infant and maternal mortality ratio in South Asia.


Balochistan is today marked by a high rate of poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, and infant and maternal mortality. A government report revealed in October 2009 that Balochistan is the most backward province in terms of HDI in Pakistan. It is almost 21 per cent below the national average while Sindh is below the national average by 10 per cent.

Balochistan Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: Meeting the Challenges

If Muslims can do this to fellow Muslims, then how do you have the audacity to question Hindus? And i am not even going into Hindus, christians and sikhs of Pakistan.

I can get similar stats for Mujahir and Pakhtoon. We are living in peace here, your track record shows 30000 muslims killed in WoT or your wrong policies.

Spew your propaganda somewhere else.
