India maybe breeding a Naxalite resurgency
CNBC-TV18 spoke to three experts, about the increasing Naxalite problem and possible solutions.

In November they stormed Jahanabad. In early March they hijacked the train in Jharkand, and last week they beseeched Udaygiri in Orrisa. Are we in danger of the Naxalite movement slowly but steadily overwhelming the country. What do we need to do to tackle the threat?


Ajit Kumar Doval: Former Director of the Intelligence Bureau


“The Naxalite strategy of increasing power had to come in five stages. The Naxalite threat is very present in all these areas(170 districts in 15 states). Even in those areas where the violence has not been very high, it would be completely wrong for us to say that they are not present there or they are not consolidating themselves.


“In September 2004 the merger of two major naxal groups in the countries came about, this has been brought under a single umbrella. 92% of the left naxal movement which has happened for the first time in the country. After the merger they named themselves as communist party of India Maoist , echoing the Nepalese. That itself established the links between Nepalese Maoists and Indian Naxalites. There are there power players in Nepal. The Monarchy, the Democratic Party, and the left Naxal movement and the left movement are the strongest today.”


Ajaj Shahani: Executive Director of Institute for Conflict Management


“We have been saying that you cannot have development in areas of high-level conflict. You have go to first contain the conflict only then will the funds or the provision of financing and other services actually reach the people.


“If we make a comparison between Kashmir and Naxalite violence over the past three years, it was less than a third in the Maoists areas in 2004. It went up to half in 2005. If one looks at this year, we have 235 fatalities in the first three months in Maoists areas as compared to 185 in Jammu and Kashmir. In Jammu and Kashmir, out of the 185 killed , 123 were terrorists. In the naxalite area out of 256 killed, 80 were Maoists.”


“I think there has been a complete effort to underplay the situation. One is the whole thing about districts. In the past official reports have confirmed the figure of 149 districts in 2005 November. We had the home ministry reports last year that say 76 districts. So they are trying to underplay that. There is another statistics in the home ministries annual report that says there are 9300 armed guards. The Minister of State for home says 7200 armed guards in the last month. They are manufacturing the numbers.”


“I think we have to go beyond the law. We have to go to constitutional amendments. We have to review the whole structure of Law and Order administration in this country. We are now speaking of trying to co-ordinate counter terrorism responses across fourteen-fifteen states. You will remember the absolutely disastrous experiment when they tried to have a joint task force just to chase one Veerappan. You cannot have co-ordination in this country. There are constitutional obstacles to this.”


Ved Marwah: Former Governor Of Jharkhand


“Not only this problem is bigger, it is much more difficult in the sense that both the North-East and Jammu and Kashmir are border states. The rest of the country can look at the problems in these areas in the media and they are really not bothered it. Daily life is not affected. This is a main line problem. Today there is a situation already there that they can stop rail traffic; road traffic and they can do anything in this mainstream area. For example the train from Delhi to Howrah can be stopped.”


"They have the potential to use lethal weapons like they have been used in the North East and Jammu and Kashmir. Their capacities are growing and the polices’ capacity is declining and that is where the danger comes in. The Naxal movement has decided not to use these lethal weapons in the initial stages of their revolutionary movement. Not because they have got shortage of funds. The classical theory is that you should get the people to use these weapons. It is a change in tactics. As far as funds are concerned, they are getting funds in thousands”


“It is not true that the Government is not aware of the extent of the problem. They are very well aware. The Prime Minister is aware, the Home Minister is aware and everybody else is aware. It is the cause today our rulers are so totally preoccupied with electoral politics that they have absolutely no time for problems like Naxalism and for many other security problems.”


“First of all the government’s strategy must recognize the fact that it is a national problem. It is not a state problem. The Center has been saying it again and again that this is Law and Order of the state, which is simply not true. Number two is that we must have specially trained forces in Gorilla tactics. This sending in so many CRPF battalions serves no purpose at all. They haven’t fire fighters they are protecting themselves. Number three there should have special laws to deal with this problem. Number four, they should have equipments and other resources, which these people know and they should have leadership problem. You should have those officers who really can do their job in these places. “

They are wild WOOD fire, outdated source of energy. no one has to do anything on fire, cause it is already a fire. You know fire can also be used as fuel. so think about it instead of trying to extinguish it. So, we must exploit/use it to build the country, instead of waisting time on figuring out who else is complimentary to it.

.
thank you for that analogy
now please use your metaphor to cook my food

food is to eat, don't have to cook it again. how's it? ha ha.. silly?

This "wild wood fire" is already burning our home. It will gut our food, the pots you use to cook food, destroy our lives and livestock eventually everything. If not extinguished soon the worst is yet to come.

OK, i agree that this fire should be extinguish, but how?

if you try to extinguish it with another fire (in fact, have been trying for so long, but fruitless), it gets even worse fierced form: not only the jungle and villages, but also the cities will be under this wild fire. do you understand why? becasue that wild fire has already got the infinite form:

fire - fire = fire, fire + fire = fire, just use the axiom of mathematics (infinity - infinity = infinity, infinity + infinity = infinity).

Thaha_Panyen,
What would you do when you see your house is already in fire? You will use all your resources and save as many family members as possible and save as much of your property as you can, right? You will do everything in your power to get rid of the fire. Using the same analogy we have to do the same to tackle the insurgency. We all, I mean everyone, each one of us have to do what we can to get rid of this "wild fire".

On the positive side the "wild fire" might seem as if it is consuming the entire world, it can only burn what is standing sooner or later it will die, it will have to.

OK Shiv, but how? come with feasible solution so that no more has to die for nothing.

But, I still stick to the idea that using guns against guns does not give the impasse, but makes the situation even worse and that is what happening now, becasue moaists already have a lot of explosive and guns that could finish everything. To diffuse their explosives and guns, I believe that the best way is to go for the election of constitutional assembly.

If you really want to see peace prevailing in our country, why do you have problem with this?

The only "feasible solution" is going to come from people like you and me. Dont expect anything is going to happen from/by seven party leaders, maobadis or king g. Unless people say enough is enough this problem is not going away. Constiuent assembly is nothing but झगडा गर्ने लाई िनहुको के कमी ?

right, however wrong...

Right for what?
Wrong for what?
or just being diplomatic??

RIGHT for agreeing that you, me and all Nepali should have similar voice and unity for the resolution of conflicts.

WRONG for your suspicous look towards constituent assembly. Unless you try, you don't know how it is going to resolve the problems the country is facing. Because, we tried every possible way out (including emergency, limiting press and human freedoms and rules by so called democratics, by self-decleared magician King) of this stiuation, now most people believe that it's the turn of constituent assembly that we should try.
