Naxalism or Maoism, Is it justified??

I was made to think on this topic after the massacre which occurred few days back in Dantewada district. 76 CRPF jawans were brutally murdered by Maoists.

I was watching this Debate( What should be done to counter naxalism) on a News channel being discussed by eminent personalities which included many Political leaders as well.

Well before thinking of a solution to counter Naxalism,I think it would be advisable to know why in the first place these people have taken the extreme step of Violence against the government.

Some of the major concerns of them are that

• Government is not doing anything for the poor tribals(Adivasis)
• Under the pretext of Development they are making poor people homeless.
• Corruption rules the government.

Many more issues which if considered carefully are actually Genuine issues.

But is Violence Justified? Is this the only way left??

Some interesting points raised by the issue where that, these people have two choices.

Either take arms and fight for justice or just wither away because of hunger,poorness etc

They have been trying to take issues to government but nothing is done.

Government's reply to this is

" You should join politics,Stand in elections and take part in the development process"

But is it that simple to form a party and be able to win in elections? Something similiar happened in Nepal but this is INDIA, it will not be easy.

If that route is used then it will be very difficult.

But According to me that is the only way to bring justice. Yes it is difficult but then if really these Radicals believe in their morals then they should come forward and fight.

Picking up Guns is a easy job,Killing someone is easy but to fight openly is hard. Yes i agree it might be impossible but then how can you justify killing 75 Lives!

What have the families of the deceased done??

War does not solve a issue it only complicates it.

Something has to be done by Government. They cannot sit idle. This is a very complex issue and should be handled in a sensible way. Opposition parties should forget petty politics and join hands to solve this issue.
