why does western press ignore all this?

Because these insurgencies start in India and end in India and don't affect outsiders . Unlike some insurgencies in other parts of the world which have worldwide consequences.

Two civilians killed in Jharkhand:

The Telegraph reports that an elderly tribal man and his son, who went missing from home last week and may have been abducted by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, were found dead in the Maoist-affected forests of Kuchai in Seraikela-Kharsawan District, 80 kilometres from Jamshedpur, on October 23. Sudarshan Samad (60) and Laxman Samad (20) were residents of Richadih village, located about 4 kilometres from where their bodies were recovered. Their throats were slit with some sharp weapon, the Police said, not ruling out Maoist hand in the killings. Seraikela-Kharsawan Superintendent of Police (SP), Abhishek said the father-son duo was last seen by family members on October 18. Kuchai is infamous as a preferred corridor of the CPI-Maoist cadres. Maoist cadres moving between Tamar and Saranda in West Singhbhum use Kuchai as a safe passage. So do those who migrate to the West Singhbhum forest from the Maoist-affected Purulia District in neighbouring West Bengal.

Further, three days after a Dhruv helicopter carrying Border Security Force (BSF) personnel crashed near Ranchi killing all three on board, the CPI-Maoist have claimed to have shot it down, reports India Today. In an SMS sent to the media, undersigned by the head of its South Chhotanagpur zonal committee head, Kundan Pahan, the Maoists have claimed responsibility for the incident. The message read: "Helicopter ko Maowadi Jan Mukti Chapamaar Sena ke veer jawanon ne maar giraya - Kundan Pahan [The helicopter was shot down by the brave soldiers of the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army”. The PLGA is the armed wing of the CPI- Maoist-and Pahan has been heading it for the last five years.

Further, giving a fresh impetus to the ongoing peace process, the Government will hold talks with the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) on October 25 with an aim of finding a lasting solution to Assam's three-decade-old insurgency problem, Times of India reports. Top ULFA leaders will discuss with Government representatives various aspects of the group's 'charter of demands' which sought amendment in the Constitution for finding "meaningful" ways to protect the rights and identity of the indigenous people of Assam.

Also, The Sentinel reports that Peoples’ Council for Peace and Development (PCPD) has been formed in Sivasagar with the objectives of providing guidance and direction to ULFA to the possible extent, in convening talks with the Government of India by taking into account the real aspirations of the people, the views and approach, as well as, to make the people aware of the conditions and to make them conscious to form opinions and verdicts in this context.

The forum, which has nearly 6,000 members, condemned the government’s move that facilitated the release of ULFA leaders from jail and said a similar move to release Daimary, if made, would be unacceptable.

India Booms reports that Security personnel recovered a landmine hidden in a container in Jhargram area in West Midnapore District on October 22. The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) had given a call for shutdown in West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia Districts of the State to defy Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's seven-day deadline to Maoists to lay down arms and join peace talks. The normal life was crippled during the strike, as shops remained closed and vehicles were off road. Banerjee had set a seven-day deadline to the ultras to give up violence and join peace talks on October 15.

Meanwhile, two Maoists allegedly involved in putting up posters against Western Region Development Minister Susanta Hansda, were arrested from their homes at Grithokham village in the District on October 23, reports PTI.

This thread isn't about what country my parents chose, or where I reside or what I am. This is specific to the Maoist threat faced by India in many of its states; & I am only reporting the news.

The bold part - corrected .

and yeah you are not only reporting from the maoist insurgency you are reporting about all and any violent incidents that take place in any part of india .

Just to correct the facts . For eg , you said a local congress leader was killed in Orissa when in reality he was killed in Assam and there are no maoists in Assam .As i suspected you don't even bother to even read the articles you post . That shows your desperation .
