Thats like someone from Vatican travelling to Pakistan to find a church
What I saw there was shocking to say the least, the huge areas where there is no sign of the indian state, the Naxalites walk around like they own the place. Was most shocked by the Maoists tactics - they would go to a village in strength, set up their solar powered laptops and then the Political officer would give a very effective indoctrination presentation.
They had specific talks targeted at women and children, they even had a video - with Mickey Mouse in it, explaining their ideology - it was very effective, the few villagers I spoke to through a translator seemed mesmerized.

i'd be interested to see some pictures if you have any....i'd like to get an idea of the local geography
The trip was part of an "institutional" study, let me see what I can do, the powers that be prefer that these things remain on the down-low - if you know, what I mean.
