Well , Seems that red star shinning in india as well.
It would seem to me that the maoist fight with muscle and brain, for score a 80+ mission kill with only 1 lose so far, speaks volumes of tactic acumen and battle competence for our "indian comrade". On the other hand, I don t believe the state propaganda there would be 1000 more of them in that theater, for as far as I know gathering that magnitude of force under the nose of india army as well as suplying them with sufficient foraging at the period would proved to be too difficult for an irregular force counted less than 10K. Hence, the reasonable estimate would be 200-400 of them luring the CRPF into their pocket, at the same time dispatch other task force to ambush the government reinforcement,which would be an perfect demonstration of Mao's art of war. Still anyway, this is only my hype since no detailed report has been produced.
Secretly, I would wish to know if the Maoist in india practice any Mao's mobile war tatic or People's war theory.
Despite of feeling regret for the lost lifes of CRPF, still I am a great fun of Mao and his art of war. Love to see one day his theoy can be exhibited and put into arena with other strong forces. I do not bear any ill will towards india and its stability, but I would be also intrigued if our comrades in india could present a competive form of development and ideology, which would be a great social experiment as well. Yet, I failed to perceive their perspective policy until so far.
Those questions has ringing in my head:
Would they push forward landreform?
Would they adopt an national imperialist policy concerning foreign relation
would they up hold secular policy by eliminating caste and suppressing religion
would they build up stalin style heavy industry
would they strengthen public education and health care sys(like the cube did) ?
In truth, those maoist would not pose any threat to india's social structure and political entity, for neither does it bears the progressive traits of CCP nor would it be offered the desirable oppotuninty like WW2. At least in my point of view, they are more Robinhood than real communists, judging by their decentralized leadership, passive economical policy and incompetent administration .
Nonetheless, for ideology sake, long life the world communist revolution!
