Maoist Rebels Kill 5 Soldiers in Eastern India


The Associated Press Aug 27, 2013, 8:50 AM


Maoist rebels ambushed a paramilitary patrol in eastern India on Tuesday, killing at least five people and wounding two others, the home minister said.

The soldiers were traveling through Koraput district in Odisha state when the rebels set off a bomb, blowing up their vehicle, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said. He said reinforcements were sent to the remote area and were searching for the rebels.

The two wounded soldiers were being treated at a nearby hospital.

The rebels have been fighting in many Indian states for more than 40 years. They claim inspiration from Chinese revolutionary leader Mao Zedong.

They demand land and jobs for poor tribal communities that they say are ignored by the government.

The rebels, also known as Naxalites, have ambushed police, destroyed government offices and abducted government officials. They have blown up train tracks, attacked prisons to free their comrades and stolen weapons from police and paramilitary warehouses.

Indians would have been jumping mad had someone else done this, but Maoist kill 5 Indian soldiers and little care is given. No protests in India, no media outrage there. It's not that they care about their dead soldiers but they care more about who kills them.


Best thing that could happen to an Indian soldier is to be killed by a Pakistani soldier. That happens and those dead Indian soldiers will get media attention, Indian protests, politicians acknowledgment--speech, people will even know their names, and they are remembered all because it was Pakistani soldiers who killed them.

Because most Indians hate Pakistani army and not Maoists..Most Indian rarely distinguish between Pakistan Army and terrorists. On the other hand, the jury is still out on maoists

Full power won't even work against Maoist, its time Indian army agrees to peace talks with the Maoist. The insurgency started in 1967, and still rages on with attacks becoming more vicious most notably one against the Congress motorcade which killed nearly 20 personnel and would many others.

You should be ashamed of yourself for saying all that, no matter how and where an Indian in uniform looses his life .... their sacrifice is duly acknowledged by every Indian. But if you want to score some brownie points then please don't let me stop you.

76 members of their security forces were disarmed and slaughtered by the same people a couple years back (all in one day) and there was hardly a peep

Unless there's alleged Pakistan/Kashmir or ISI involvement they won't mutter a peep

Yep Andhra Pradesh wiped out Maoists from the state totally, the maoists reside in small states like jharkhand,chattisgarh,orissa border etc.They can't take on the combined might of AP police.

If you look up the statistics online, the number of deaths in India due to Maoist related violence have been progressively going down.
