Naxalism


Naxalism or Maoism, a bane in Indian democratic history. From 70s this started and for the last four dacades it is going on from one state to another.
India, a domocratic country, is supposed to be ruled by the majority. (it is a sad story that never in the independent Indian history, even once India was ruled by the majority vote, ie. more than 50% of popular votes poled.) But the Maoists wants to rule the country without participating in the democratic process and take over the power with the help of Gun. In a country with a population of more than 1.1o Billion people, including the sympathisers of Maoists will not be more than 10 Million people. It is less than 1% of the population.

But, the saddest part of Indian polity is that even with about 3% of popular vote (TMC 3.20% and DMK1.83%) dictate terms to the ruling coalition. And the major party has to take the whims and fancies of these party chiefs ( All the parties are one man parties other that BJP and to a certain extent Congress). A Karunanidhi, A Mamta Banerjee, A Lallu Prasad Yadav, A Mulayam, A Mayawathi. Take away these personality and the parties they represent is a void. And for a few votes these unscrupulous politicians support or symathise with these anti social elements like the Maoisits.
When Police or securtiy agencies kill a Maoist, our so called Human Right Activists appear on the scene and shout from the rooftop. But when innocent people are killed in scores, these HRAs abscond from the scene.
Today in India, all the rights are with the criminals and antisocial elements. Comman man has no right whatsoever. His life has no meaning. No value other that at the time of elections.
I would like to do what Isreal or Srilanka did with the terrorism or anti social elements. Eliminate them from the scene. May be in doing so a few innocents may suffer. But it is a price worth paying, instead of suffering for ever.
