India failing to crush Maoist revolt, says Singh
NEW DELHI: India is failing in its efforts to crush a Maoist rebellion plaguing vast swathes of the country, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Sunday.
Addressing a conference of senior police and security officials in New Delhi, Singh once again described the ultra-leftist insurgency as the most serious internal security threat India was facing.
It is evident that despite the efforts that have and are being made, the measures taken so far have not yielded desired results, the premier was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India news agency. The inability of intelligence agencies and the police to obtain pinpointed and actionable intelligence and in time has enabled these outfits to carry out some high-profile attacks.
Singh was referring to audacious attacks by the revolutionaries this year including the slaughter in July of 21 elite police commandos in eastern Orissa state. In March 2007, the rebels assassinated a federal MP and a few days later killed 55 policemen in twin attacks in eastern India.
The Maoist insurgency grew out of a peasant uprising in 1967 and rebels often target the overstretched and poorly trained security forces operating in the east of the country. The rebels say they are fighting for the rights of neglected tribal people and landless farmers and that their ultimate goal is to capture Indias cities and overthrow parliament.
The left-wing guerrillas are active in more than half of Indias 29 states and the rebels use a heavily forested region in eastern Chhattisgarh state as their headquarters. afp

There's a very good chance that what the Maoists have done in Nepal may happen in India as well. Though it is not likely that it will happen anytime soon but the ingredients for such a revolution are ever present in India.

Believe me this is not the case in India. The advantage the Maoists have in the states where they operate is laxity of laws.
you got brainwashed? there is no law in India. Please read the following recent news article and tell me how it is possible in a country where citizens have some basic understanding of laws.

Indian media has the highest freedom of expression, perhaps in whole south-asia. Truth is out there in the news. Please dig up and read. Naxalites are definitely a problem, but we are trying to address it.

Please, this is related to Maoism, not human rights. Stick to topic please.
there is another user here in this thread mentioned that those "Maoist" won't cause trouble in India as laws are valued there. I used that article to show him that he is wrong. can you understand the simple logic here?
btw, those "Maoist" do not follow any Maoism, they illegally started all these troubles under the name of the Chairman Mao.

Naxalites/Moaists do cause trouble now and then, but they are dealt under Indian law. In fact, we hate this communism in our country.

Maoist rebels now operate in 22 of Indias 29 states
* Police say insurgents equipped with automatic weapons, mines and explosives
NEW DELHI: Well-armed Maoist rebels are rapidly expanding their insurgency in India, catching the government off-guard with their appeal to the poor and destitute, officials and experts say.
The rebels have 22,000 combatants, and have spread to more than 180 of the countrys 630 districts from just 56 in 2001, according to the government and a new report this week by the Institute for Conflict Management (IFCM), a New Delhi think-tank. The security threats are changing and its bigger than ever before as more and more areas are coming under their command. It is not a happy sight at all, BK Ponwar, head of the Counter Terrorism and Jungle Warfare College in India, told Reuters.
We must address the barrel of the gun of the Maoists, or in two years the issue will get out of hand. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described the Maoist rise as one of the gravest threats to Indias internal security, and the insurgency is shaping up as an issue ahead of a general election due by May. The main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party says the ruling Congress party does not have a strategy to counter the Maoists and that police are poorly armed.
Deadly weapons: Police and intelligence officials say the Maoists are now recruiting hundreds of poor villagers to bolster their ranks, and are equipped with automatic weapons, shoulder rocket launchers, mines and explosives. The rebels say they are fighting for the rights of the farmers and the poor who make up the majority of Indias 1.1 billion population. They regularly attack rail lines and factories, aiming to cripple economic activity over a large area.
Indias police intelligence department says the Maoists are making their presence felt in 22 of the countrys 29 states. Thousands of people have been killed since the uprising began in the late 1960s. In the last week, rebels have launched attacks in areas previously unaffected by fighting. In the western state of Maharashtra, rebels shot dead 15 police, while in Bihars Nawada district they killed 10 police. More than 1,000 cases of Maoist attacks were recorded last year in which more than 200 security personnel and 300 civilians were killed.
The rebels now have the capability to launch simultaneous attacks and they have the firepower. But the Indian government does not seem to have the capacity to neutralise them, Ajai Sahni of the Institute for Conflict Management said. Police efforts are hampered by lack of manpower and weapons as well as poor coordination between states, meaning rebels can escape pursuit by crossing state lines. Last week the government convened an urgent security meeting and agreed to begin coordinated raids to control the movement. reuters

According to them, their separatists and insurgent groups aren't a threat to the state of India because they've always managed to keep them suppressed. They're not realizing that this "Suppressing" only fuels the fire. India should recognize this threat and try to handle it in a "Democratic" way. But one can't expect that because Kashmir (Which is an Internal part of India as they say) never saw any "Democracy" then how can the rest of the regions?
Before they know it, they'll be spiralling down with no turning back.
