The biggest danger to the state of India

The Naxalite terrorist problem within India is something which I have alluded to last year. As I mentioned in that essay, the challenge of such a terrorist campaign is that it hits the basic state framework from underneath, which makes it hugely difficult to address. Given a federal structure of the state, it is even more difficult to erradicate it. The Indian Government is using the Malaya method to address this terrorist campaign but not whole-heartedly. Corruption and bad politics is making the situation worse and the police are consequently getting hammered regularly. An year has passed since my essay and the situation hasnt changed much. Therein lies the answer to the author's question, because the Government and Politicians themselves are the problem.

Here's a research article on that issue.

All this to be taken with a grain of piquant salt!!!

AB - Far away from the glare of the achievements in the fields of information technology, a long festering Maoist insurgency is growing in the heart of India. The Maoists have found a strong base among the tribal people of India. By examining the history of Communist movements in India within a behavioral perspective, this article asks the question why in the past similar movements were relatively easy for the authorities to suppress, while the current Maoist insurgency is proving to be much harder to manage?

“The Naxalites occupy an ambiguous niche in history. Exemplary idealist to some, he indicates to others an expression of immature disaffection that has nothing constructive to offer. In either case, he embodies the reinstatement of man as a moral agent if only because Naxalites so radically challenge the premises of established morality.”
