No they use quite sophisticated weapons and IED's too. They have advantage of surprise in jungle warfare not to mention our paramilitaries are poorly trained and armed. I remember 2-3 yrs ago 75 CRPF men were lost their lives in Bastar in an ambush.
Progress is a mirage. The govt. does'nt care for them but only for the profits to be generated by mining their land. Unfortunately, people's war is going from strength to strength.
You probably don't know how our CRPF and state police treat these people. If it were ever to happen to you personally, even you would be up in arms against them.
Grabbing their land and livelihood without compensating them is called exploitation. And thank you for the lesson in my family history or how I should spell my name.
Unless and until the state stops expoiting them and grabbing their land, the movement will only get stronger. Regarding #19, I don't do Idol worship (pun unintended)
