13th February ,2010  location German bakery in Pune ,Maharashtra  a terrorist bomb blast , 17 killed (later 3 more casualties  at hospital) .26th -29th November ,2008  various locations  in Mumbai ,a coordinated attacks by terrorists at least 200 dead .These are some of the recent terrorist attack in India. When we look at the naxalite attack , In 2008 &2009  approximate  1950 killed in various naxalite incident . More than 6000+ people have died in last decade .The most recent one being the massacre of armed police force in Dantewada , Chhattisgarh killing 76 jawans. So ,should  it be termed as the  inside terrorism posing a  greater security threat before the nation than the foreign sponsored cross border terrorism . At least data confirms.

          The Naxalite led massacres , kidnappings , extortion threats , etc has increased  significantly in recent years .Frequent strikes being called by them has caused huge economic loss & has resulted  in the negative development  in the red belt.In last few months  they almost stunned everyone by hijacking the trains including one of the safest “Rajdhani Express”  .Their aim according to statement issued by government   include , to uproot the Indian democracy by 2050. With these motto they seems  to be highly ambitious and destructive  .This naxalite  movement which was  originated in West Bengal in 1960s and  later spreading in Andhra Pradesh , Chhattisgarh , Jharkhand , Bihar & Odissa  .These areas are  generally  the one which  are economically mostbackward & least developed for the long time .The literacy rate in these areas are one the lowest in the country & accordingly a significant reason for the red terror .The Naxalite are also said to have the links with  ISI which is said to be the suppliers of arms to revolt against the democracy, making the situation more concerning . The home ministry under Mr.  P.Chidambaram is being considered as the one of best in its own . Thanks to our capable home minister .But still we aren’t safe enough than ever .waking up from the naxalite incidents the home ministry  department  launched  “the operation Green hunt” in the red  belt to  curb naxalites  after the failed  attempt of negotiations  between the naxals and the government .But instead of harming them our 76 jawans died being attacked by the maoist more than 1000 in number  in Dantewada , Chhattishgarh . A big question to “operation  green hunt”  arising the questions of the preparation  and planning for this operation .Are the armed police force trained enough to fight guerrilla war with naxalites.  Is our intelligence agency  is capable  enough to prevent all these. If not then why we are risking all those life of jawans which are made to fight the maoist who rules the roost of jungles . And also wouldn’t the innocent peoples affected by this operation under the influence of Maoists wil engage themselves in the battle against the administration ?.Also if it is needed to curb  them by force , Shouldn’t we prepare in a better way enhancing our police personals with the better fighting equipments .

              Again ,reviewing the initial stage  failures  of “operation green hunt” , a question arises ,is gun battle adequate to stop naxals? . The red belt had been deprived of the development , seems as the main reason of their  upliftment  against the government  and  administration. Previously when naxalite movement  was at its peak in  Andhra Pradesh , the development  in Andhra Pradesh resulted the lowering of the naxals movement in the state & shifting of base  to the Chhattisgarh &Odissa . So why  don’t there should be series of development  programmes in these affected areas . Our parliament remains  busy in passing the  this and that reservation bills ,why not government should come up with the special development bill for the naxal affected areas , presenting a light of hope for the people in the red belt . They don’t have good road network, poverty & malnutrition still persists in the region,  the children lacks the school, not enough employment opportunity  (instead of region being the wealthiest in terms of ore and minerals), the administrative negligence , etc. Which all are responsible for this. The road network  will help the armed personals to check the Maoists .The education schemes will reduce the difference between them and the urbane.also it will prevent them being influenced by naxalite  anti-nation  thinking .  The  government should stress  on programmes making  them back in the main stream society . War has never been a solution to the problem so lets fight it intelligently and hope for the new prosperous dawn to start from .
