here are my 2 cents:
First of all it would be better if we can understand that the naxalite problem is rather a political problem than a military one. It is a well known reality that naxalites have a strong public backing in the tribal and backward regions. Starting an offensive in the region will only further alienating the tribals and forcing them to take up arms. It is in our own interest that we acknowledge the political and social backwardness faced by peoplein these regions and arrive at a settlement which is acceptable to the locals. That is what democracy is all about. I am not defending what they did. Militancy must stop. All i am sayin is that i see a very slim chance forpeace if a military action is taken.
