General Forum: Current 'Affairs' | | Is Naxalism is socio-economic issue? | |
| I dont post much here, but this thread attracted my attention. Naxalism is a much broader issue than merely a socio-economic issue. Whatever be the reason for its genesis, it's primary objective was to fight against injustice, and the tool has always been violence. It might have started with some idealism, but today it is desperation. It started as a war against land lords, when the economy was primarily agro based. But when the injustice began showing in industrial jobs, government jobs, medical profession, naxalites became guardian angels everywhere fighting the cause...
I am not a protagonist of Naxalism. Neither am I an antagonist. Killing of innocent people in any form is not acceptable...but they do get persecuted and killed. If not by the naxalites, by the despots and demagogues. Can we really fight injustice in the main stream ? You know how much money was laundered by politicians like Jayalalitha...could the justice system do any thing? People in India are still kept under the poverty line, and uneducated...How long does it take to revamp a slum like Dharavi? How much money?? It is not expensive...but we dont want to do...they continue to be the targets of power mongers...
Nothing can be fought in the main stream anywhere in the world. What happened in Iraq was injustice covered by only a zillion lies...who is doing what? who is getting punished?
As long as the system doesnt change, our leaders remain unaltruistic, people like laloo prasad are there...Naxalism will never die...in one form or the other...if it is a socio-economic problem....so will it stay as such...
We should not find solution to Naxalism...but the many ailments that plague us...then we may finally eradicate naxalism...

Umm. If they are sincere towards their objective, why not they contest elections and putforth their view point, by winning them.
If their ideology is based on social and economic disparities, why they don't realise that they themselves have become a social nuisance!! By killing 10s and 100s of Govt. Employees, are they achieving their so called social agenda?

Kiranji,
They believe that the power of a class(say agriculturalists) flows from the bullet. They oppose every existence of democracy, parliamentary form of government etc. They believe that these are the representatives of the feudal set-up and do not care about the land distribution equally. What happened in West Bengal, after naxalbari movement, was, the land reforms were implemented strictly. That's the reason, still the communists are in power there. CPI(I)and CPI accepted the parliamentary form of democracy. But not CPI(ML).
But violence has no place in democracy. If one has to change the existing socio-economic set-up, it must be by peaceful means. It is sure, the naxalites will fail, but the loss of innocent life will be very very higher. They are the desepate people who are fighting for the ideals(leave about the perverted naxalites). What happened in Bihar is this situaiton. It was the Landlord who introduced guns into the movement, not naxalites...if one read thoroughly about the movement, one may notice it. I personally met and interviewed a senior surrendered naxalite at Guntur, when I was working as Sub-Editor. He surrendered long back, may be twenty five years ago, out of disgust as the movement turn-up took up violence.

If any Govt starts reforming it has no future with in no time it will topple.
Is the Govt really realizing the proper revenue from those lands?

If land reforms are not implemented properly, if the justice is not distribute, who knows, it could become a national issue. In fact, at present, it is a national issue.
Because in Kerala, T.N, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka(to some extent), Madhya Pradesh, Bihar....there are naxalites.

The discussion well it can be more descent rather than confusing self & others; The understanding and thier beliefs are not the leading threads.
