For those who keep on harping about development as answer to Naxalites problem please answer the following questions
1 when schools and hospitals are built in the tribal areas why do naxals bomb them?
2 for infrastructure development land is required. You are not willing to give up forest land and then say that no development is taking place
3 if civilian contractors and workers fear for their life in working in Naxalites area then how will development take place?
4 all development requires money. This money can come through use of immense mineral wealth available in that region. If you don't allow mining and other activities how will development take place?
5 when mines and factories are setup it will lead to job creation and trickle down effect and ultimately everyone will benefit. Sure the owners will get huge profits but if there is no reward why will someone take the risk?
6 Tribals are not been allowed to take part in democratic processes. There were reports during recent elections that tribals had requested EC not to put indelible ink on the fingers as they feared the Maoists will kill those who voted. How will you get the govt you want if you don't vote?
1. Coz schools and colleges dont serve the purpose what it shud. Tribals need food 1st and then education. Their fight is not against illiteracy but against politicals gimicks to eat up their land just coz it has billions of worth of minerals. Dont you think if I own a land and it has something valuable I ought to get a justified percentage of it? Just imagine if Some country wud have exploited arabs for the zillions of Oil reserves they have. Just imagine non arbas tried to rule Dubai? What wud be ur stance? Why do u think these new Land reforms were such a brutal requirement before they were passed in parliament? It all depends on how u define development. Only building schools wont hinter our politicians to eat maximum chunk of someone else's property just coz hes a minister. Hope u got the point.
2. Coz the land required for Development is not acquired in constitutional manner but by manipulating Constitution by Politicians coz they are in Constitutional Power.
3. Civilian and Contractors come later. 1st clean the dirt before that. Once done, Contractors will be helped and supported by the locals for betterment of their people and Country. But again you know how noncorrupt our Contractors are. He He.
4. If you are naive then lemme enlighten you, Maximum chunk of investment goes to a. Corporation b. Politicians c. Contractors d. IF ANYTHING REMAINS, for the people whome its supposed to go. Consider yourself in 4th place where you ought to get maximum chunk of development and investment. Now first go and put things in order then oppose the naxalites.
5. I agree regarding job creation but that has to be done in justified manner without corruption. We have corruption everywhere in India but understand that in those areas corruption puts a lot of on stake for these tribals. And ultimately we will see exactly what happaned to native Americans. This example is enough to understand that greedy Capitalist and corrupt and greedy politicans will nowhere benefit these tribals but in a way benefit people like you and me who dont deserve any benefits before the tribals getting them. Do understand the side effects of Capitalism if kept unchecked and supported with corruption.
6. Coz tribals are the biggest collateral in the fight of Red vs Blue. They want better life if not the life they deserve but that noway makes Naxalite ideology wrond and our corrupt officers right. Its a fight of justice vs injustice and is irrespective of how tribals lead their life.
Now I dont support anyside in this case coz today Naxalites are also getting adamant and arrogant just like our Govt. 2 wrongs dont make right. Hence, both have to come together with positivity.
I dont find our Govt serious enough to give up their source of najayaz income.
. until that is done, dont oppose Naxalite movement.
also do remember that in general every revolutionary movement in THIS WORLD started as a non violent movement. You shud go into basics to udnerstand why it turned out to be violent.
Every nonviolent movement need audience and screen space. Do u think they have the voice in their own country? No. Coz the rulers of THEIR OWN COUNTRY are adamant on cleansing them. What do u do in such scenario?
