Growing Indian Maoist Menace, Train Hostage Drama: Who is Responsible? | Trends Updates
If the area shown by the following map is all "swamps" then I must say India has a LOT of swamps...
Trains held hostage... Banks shut down due to Maoist threats... The map above shows their area of influence bordering Hyderabad and Bangalore... I don't know how you conclude the above.
Thank you for the honorific title and respect.
Ok. Then why is the movement growing?
Maoists growing stronger, waging war of the mind: CRPF chief (Interview)
The TTP has been dismantled by Pakistan Army action over just a few months. In contrast, the Maoist threat and area of influence continues to grow... but yes, I agree that the Maoists are not receiving sophisticated weapons and foreign financial assistance like the TTP is/was.
However, here is what your Home Sec. says:
He called the rebels "highly motivated" and said they "operate like a well-trained army."
AFP: Maoists aim to topple India by 2050: minister
Really? These are your Home Sec's views:
"We have a long, bloody war ahead,"
"It's quite likely violence will go up in 2010 or 2011,"
Security operations "have not hit even five percent of their hardcore militants,"
“They (Maoists) are working under a plan. They have capacity to bring many sections of the Indian economy to its knees."
TechLahore,
This is an Indian problem and India will deal with this. It is none of your business and thanks for showing your concern.
If the Indian Military wanted, it could have eliminated these Maoists within a week but fact remains that these Maoists are Indian civilians and unlike some other countries, especially those in our neighborhood, India will not go around massacring its own civilians.
And about the "overthrowing govt by 2050" remark
I think it is just a Government of India strategy to build a national consensus against the Maosits. Seems to be working.
