Deaths from Naxal attacks might have decreased, but they have expanded their presence, & areas of operation within India.

I don't think we have anything to worry about as long as the number of incidents are decreasing.

Besindes, decreasing incidents also mean that more and more people are getting arrested which obviously implies that the problem is on its way down, not up.

While decreasing incidents is good, more and more Maoists getting arrested from different parts of India (where there was no Maoist presence before) is a dangerous sign, as it shows (the shifting from their traditional strongholds to) their increasing influence of Maoists in different parts of India, including the South & North East:

The Hindu : States / Kerala : Maoists find tri-junction a safe haven

The ruling classes tremble: Maoists expand influence in Northeast India « Revolution in South Asia

More and more Maoists getting arrested can also show that their recruiting power & their 'ideology' is strong.

Premise: Maoist violence incidences are on the decline

Conslusion 1: Maoists are spreading their reach.

Conclusion 2: The security agencies have started getting their act together and are now able to flush out maoists from different places across the country.

As far as ideology is concerned. We do not arrest people for having inclination towards any ideology. We arrest them on the basis of hard physical crimes committed against the state.

As long as the incidents are decling and more and more maoists are ending up in the jails, I couldn't care less about their 'ideology'.

P.S. The maoists have no ideology. They are not a run-of-the-mill terrorist group. They are a mafia gang out to make money. A big mafia gang.

The people who blow up in fata have ideologies.

Maoists are more like the gangs of political parties in Karachi. In Karachi, your political parties murder for political power. Maoists murder for money.

Maoists destroying school buildings in Jharkhand

Ranchi, May 31 (ANI): Maoists are preventing the children from getting educated by destroying the school buildings across Jharkhand.
Over the last few years, the Maoists have targetted the government and locals. Locals have complained about Maoist killings and abductions.
By destroying schools, the Maoists are forcing young teenagers to join militant outfits, rather that thinking of getting jobs and earning a good living.
"We have seven rooms in our school, but three rooms were destroyed by the Maoists. Now, we are just left with four rooms in which students from the first to the tenth standards are studying. Earlier, we used to sit on the floor and study, but now, we have been provided with tables and chairs by the CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force)," said Vinod Kumar Singh, a student.
Maoists are destroying school buildings to ensure the easy availability of illiterate children for recruitment into their cadres.
However, the paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) distributes free bags and books to the students.
School teachers say it is extremely difficult to teach students in two rooms.
"Police used to stay in these rooms. So, the Maoists have blasted the rooms using landmines. Now, we are just left with three rooms, out of which one is used as the office. Two rooms are used as classrooms, which are jampacked with students from standard 1st to 10th and it is not comfortable to teach the students," said Santosh, a teacher.
The federal government had proposed the setting up of a new counter-militancy body to fight against these anti-national elements.
Also known as Naxals, the rebels have fought for decades in areas of central and eastern India, including many resource-rich regions. They are backed by China and funded by Pakistan, the Maoists in India are trying to create economic, social and political instability.
The government calls them India's main internal security threat and an obstacle to higher growth and more jobs. Although levels of violence have fallen in recent years, hundreds of people die annually in the conflict.
The Maoists believe that they are fighting for the rights of landless people. (ANI)

Cop killed, 3 injured in Meghalaya

Shillong: A police constable was killed and three others were injured ina an attack by a mixed group of militants near Gasuapara in South Garo Hills border on Tuesday night, police informed on Wednesday.

A police official said that four police constables who were patrolling on foot were fired upon from a hillock by a mixed group of militants at around 11:40 pm on Tuesday.

While constable Pearson Sangma was killed in the firing, three other cops identified as Gopal Rai, Jopline Kharkongor and Dilip Marak sustained injuries.

Constable Kharkongor, who sustained minor injury was discharged after initial treatment, while the two others are undergoing treatment at GNRC, Guwahati. There was no report of any injury on the militants’ side.

Police are yet to ascertain which militant group was involved in the attack.

There is presence of both GNLA and ULFA in the bordering areas of Gasuapara where the incident took place.

Police have denied rumours that the constables were attacked in a case of mistaken identity by another group of armed constables on duty.

Questions are also being raised on how the four policemen, who are engaged in anti-insurgency operations, went patrolling on foot at night, that too, in a remote area of the district without the assistance of either members of SWAT of Meghalaya police and CoBRA unit of the CRPF.
