Our jawans fight with substandard equipment and die in thousands every year. Their families are left destitute and the same political heads do nothing to help rehabilitate them. They only start shouting when their kin are killed. It was very sad to hear of the entire party being dragged and killed...cant imagine the mental and physical agony they must have faced then! And as you rightly pointed out, scores of villagers in the surrounding areas are now vulnerable to tortures, rapes and deaths in the name of investigation. But that has been the sad state of affairs in India all along. <br />Investigating this issue is required but then so is finding the root cause - Why are maoists made? What changes ordinary, humble villagers to take up arms? <br />Answer is lack of basics in life - food, water, medical help and means to earn a living. Most of these have been marginalised all their lives, have never had a bellyful of meal, have seen their near and dear ones suffer and die of ordinary ailments because of lack of medical help. Over time this adds to their frustration, desperation and anger...anger towards government, police and also people who 'have'. This feeling is also increased thousand fold with the advent of TV which portrays a very fashionable, luxurious, well fed (overfed?) urban population of India. <br />Lack of political will has failed all the government schemes these past 65 yrs and will continue to do so unless the mindset of the politburo changes. Unleasing the army on the Maoists and crushing them is easy and shortterm. <br />But the concept of Maoists is like 'Hydra' - the greek mythological monster who grew two new heads when one was cut till the immortal head was cut with the golden sword. <br />Their cadres will be filled within no time unless the 'immortal head is cut with a golden sword' here the 'immortal head' is the deep sense of dissatisfaction prevalent amongst the locals and the 'golden sword' is sincerety and strong political will to bring about a positive change and development in the lives of these people.Aditinoreply@blogger.com
