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 .
