Yet again. A few days back, Naxals warned tribal villagers to stop all farming activities in the Bastar region. When Santosh Poriyami dared to ask them to lay off, they beat him up in front of the villagers.
More social justice was delivered. Two farmers were killed. This, I’m sure, is going to free the poor from state oppression and bring about a paradise in which everybody would be equal.
The Indian Express reports:
Maoists killed two farmers in insurgency-affected Bijapur district late Sunday night. Police sources said Maoist cadres attacked Chintagufa village in the district late last night and took the two farmers hostage.
“The farmers were picked up and taken to a nearby forest for defying the Naxalites’ diktat against cultivation,” said a senior police officer. Two farmers, Kalmu Dulla, 50, and Marwi Mura, 40, were first beaten up by Naxalites and later hacked to death. “The bodies of the two farmers were recovered on Monday from a nearby forest,” the senior police officer said.

I actually used to think that naxals fought for a cause but were going about it in a wrong direction. Now that cause has ceased to exist! They are no more the guerilla warriors/robinhoods as some made them out to be…The way I see no one seems to have a purpose or agenda. Just pusuing the bottomlines: Power & Money

Gr8 work……keep it going…….
In the era of globalisation where international borders are becoming mere check posts the age old ideology of Maoist movement is irrelevant.
If you see the change in trend of their recruitment shows the situation they are in……..In late sixties doctors engineers and scholars were brain washed and made a part of the armed revolution but today…….small children,women……..centuries of foreign rule three wars after independence left the nation hungry, youth were frustrated as there was no equality of opportunity and this desperation lead to naxalism as an alternative to democracy.
Independent India grew wiser with age and today there is a scenario where there is more than equal opportunity given needy at this stage the movement has no merit nor has it any purpose………understood
What i fail to understand is who is supplying them with bullet proof jackets ak-47’s…………….today naxalities are no better than the terrorists they are depriving people of education and other basic amenities like transport,tele communications,electricity by there scheduled attacks on railway stations radio stations,schools……..If its not dealt without mercy today then dont be surprised if there is an air strike by naxals sometime soon…….
