India - 84-Year-Old Activist Stan Swamy Dies In Hospital Waiting For Bail

Any idea what is an Naxallite before one condemn the guy? :coffee:
Word Naxal comes from a Naxalbari a place in north West Bengal
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naxalbari
Naxalbari became famous for being the site of a left-wing poor peasants(lower caste) uprising in 1967, which began with the "land to tiller" slogan, an uprising continuing to this day

The Naxalbari uprising was triggered on 25 May 1967 at Bengai Jote village in Naxalbari when the police opened fire on a group of villagers who were demanding their right to the crops at a particular piece of land. The firing killed 9 adults and 2 unknown children.

Naxal is a starving lower caste tribal who wants his ancestral lands returned from upper caste landlords, or wants to stop a upper caste owned mining company like Vedanta from taking over and evicting him without fair compensation.

In most cases upper caste with hold in bureaucracy , mess with government land records and get tribal lands in their name, then they arrive at tribal land waving a paper. Tribal are illiterate simple people living in forests with no access to lawyers or advice. Tribals get evicted from land and start starving to death, Some of the starving tribals try to fight to get back their land. All Upper caste and their media start screaming Naxalite Naxalite, then paramilitary is send to protect national interest(upper caste interest).

This old man Stan swamy throughout his life helped the tribals with lawyers and other advice, educating them to lead a better life and protect their interests. So, the vengeful upper castes chose to make an example out of him by making sure he dies a miserable death in captivity. He is detained under NSA.

Upper caste government BJP and Congress have enacted a vague law called NSA, national security act, using which they can detain anyone without access to a lawyer.

The Naxal/maoist problem IS a national security issue.

Let us tackle this issue first. Why is the Naxalite movement a national security issue and the Hindtuvadi movement not one ?

Various elements of the Hindutvadi movement have been involved in various types of crime : bombings, assassination of progressives, rioteering, murder of a student, upholding anti-human ideas and spreading of disharmony in the country. Why are they not punished ? Are these elements not a national security issue ?

One of the culprits in the 2008 Malegaon bombing case, Lt. Col. Shrikant Purohit has been even taken back into the army. Another co-culprit, Sadhvi Pragya, is now a member of the national parliament. What is happening in the country ?

It may well be the case that investigations into Swamy have led to more information.

An American computer forensics company, Arsenal Consulting, has analyzed the hard disks of some of the accused in the Bhima Koregaon case and found that the computers of the accused had been hacked and some documents planted which supposedly showed interactions with the Naxals.

The government did not kill him, he died of old age and covid in a hospital getting good care.

Among other things he had Parkinson's and had asked the jail authorities for a sipper because he couldn't drink properly. And the sipper was denied. I myself once had Bell's Palsy which had left one side of face paralyzed so I can understand.

Well written, sir, well written. :tup:

@CAPRICORN-88, I will add to Drizzt's post that there are about 200,000 government military / paramilitary personnel ranged against the Naxals who number in thousands. The government personnel include air force, CRPF, regular police and special police commandos from all those states where the Naxals fight, or as the words used by the Establishment and its supporters : "Naxal-infested areas". "Infested" as if it's some disease. Other than government forces there are also militias comprising of anti-Naxal villagers.

starving lower caste tribal :lol: :lol: these criminals run 1500 crore annual extortion business, run kangaroo courts and kill people, sexually exploit tribal girls, are armed with light machine guns (LMGs), not let any development be it roads or communication tower reach poor tribals. Most of the para military jawans who are fighting these naxals are actually poor tribals, sons of farmers not these criminals.
