Naxals Blow up civillian bus in Dantewada. 50 Killed

[RobbieS]

well lets suppose even if you guys do go for military, these guys are spread out within the population arent they ? ( not too much knowledge, so i might be wrong here )

If they are, and someone posted the stats here i think they are in most of the states..like they have presence..how would you go after them with military then ? wont there be too much civilian casualties ?

Creder, they do have substantial local support in the districts that they are present in. This makes conducting operation even tougher as the danger from the hostile terrain is multiplied due to lack of local intelligence. That is why sometimes there are civilian casualties and human rights vilations as security forces aren't sure who is a Naxal and who's innocent. The trick is to win over the local population and use local intelligence through the local cops.

And as far as I know militarily, Naxals area of operation is the jungles that are spread across Maharshtra, AP, MP, Chattisgarh and Jharkhand, right in the center of India. Other states do have Maoist activity but largely non-violent.

yes , you are correct..they are spread among the locals and thus its very difficult to identify them.Probably that might be one of the reasons why the GoI is not going for a full army operation to flush them out.
What we need here is a very good intelligenc network and the special anti naxal force, which is capabl of eliminating thm...we have seen that happen in Andhra Pradesh..when a good network of intelligence and the greyhounds (special force built for naxals) together almost completely eliminated the naxals...th operation wasa huge sucess...we need something of that sort here.

See, I was that day saying that money should be well spent on intelligence and revamping RAW, biggest threat to India is internal.

if they have strong local support then there is no way to win this kind of war militarily unless kill all locals. but is it possible to kill all? it's like wild fire burning out wild grass during winter but then there will be always new grass in spring again.
economy development is the only solution. money wins.

Even though these guys arent taliban there is one similarity

if you guys remember when TTP came out initially they had local support and people in Pakistan were mainly tolerant of them, that is why the military operations against them in the beginning couldnt be that much of a success..What really turned the tide was that the talibs let the power get to their head and started blowing stuff up, the public opinion changed and the was the decisive factor in Pakistan's War on Terror and success of our operations.

I think the maoists more or less are floating in the same boat, as of right now they got local support..i think someone mentioned that there is a member her who supports them, there might be more point being that they have appeal..Only way India is going to be able to deal with them is by allying with the locals who support them.

Why is that going to be so hard ? Money is no issue..it is your politicians who are giving preference to personal interests over this national concern. And that i think is where you guys will have to start from, an operation by intelligence or special forces otherwise will just serve to fuel the conflict..Because chances are there will be lots of civilian casualties even in these secret or silent operations and that will in turn give the maoists even more support among the masses. The state will be seen as an oppressor and the politicians who are hesitant now will openly declare they're loyalty to the people just to save their seats.

The only solution to this problem is fixing your politics and more importantly politicians.

I will agree here completely. Engaging Army will make it look like a civil war. This has to be a Intelligence based operations, and some covert operations also to take out the leaders.

 

[T-Faz]

These guys have been around from the 60's haven't they, I am sure they must have atleast been infiltrated by security agencies or any weak spots found through engaging them.

Best to negotiate and make the area prosperous, there will be no more militancy.
