The Maoist devils in India recently (on May 17, 2010) attacked a private bus and killed 32 civilians (including Special Police Officers) in Dantewada of Chatisgarh State in India. The attack came after the brutal massacre of 76 CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) jawans in the same state by the Maoists on April 6, 2010. Between these periods they killed more than 15 people (including common villagers and jawans) in various parts of the country. The brutalities of inhuman Maoist butchers are ongoing without an end…
Before the blatant attack on the civilians, they had ablaze a local political leader in Jharkand; beheaded six villagers in the same state, a few days ago they brutally raped a 16-year-old girl in Latehar district of Jharkand. Do you know what the reason for the rape is? That girl, who was also a member of Maoist outfit, had tried to flee away from the Maoist camp because of physical and mental pressure. This is the true nature of Indian Maoists. One would be shocked when he heed the death tally by the Maoists in the past few years. According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, India, in the last year (2009) only, they had taken the lives of 1134 people. The death toll for the last 15 years now climbs to around 7000.
Recently the United Nations has expressed serious concern over the recruitment and the use of minors by armed Maoist terrorists in India. UN also said there were plausible reports that Maoists were forcibly recruited children for terrorist activities from schools. Prior to this, another report of UNESCO revealed that Maoists had destroyed more than 300 schools in the tribal regions. But in India many so-called human rights activists and organizations are supporting the Mao terrorists and thereby justify their brutal violence. After every attack, these so-called rights activists appeared in television discussions and validated the killings. Their argument is that the Mao terrorists are fighting for the protection of tribal, they are revolutionaries. But the Maoists are implementing their so-called revolution by blowing up the railway tracks, ruining the roads, demolishing the government institutions, sabotaging the schools….The human rights activists, like Booker Prize winner Arundati Roy, who supporting the Mao terrorists have to explain, what kind of revolution is this?
Another interesting fact is about the funding source of Indian Maoists. The Corporate companies, illegal opium trade, Islamic terrorist organizations like Lashkar e Taiba etc are the major source of money for Indian Maoists.
The Indian Government had brought out the satellite images and shared other inputs pinpointing areas where opium crop was grown on large tracts running into thousands of hectares. The opium cultivation by the Mao terrorists is in full swing in their strongholds like West Bengal, Jharkand, Bihar, and Orissa.
Last year, Narla Ravi Sharma, a top Maoist leader, in a police interrogation, revealed that the Maoists receive regular funds from big corporate houses.
Communist China and Lashkar are the arms suppliers of Mao terrorists. On one side Lashkar is trying to destabilize India by Islamic terrorist operations like Mumbai terror attack, Pune blast etc and on the other side they execute their operations with the help of Maoists. The Indian Maoists and the Pakistani terrorists are the two sides of a same coin.
After the last brazen attack in Dantewada, Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram offered to hold talks with Maoists. But they refused. G K Pillai, Home Secretary, said the killing of 32 civilians showed wanton disregard for life by the Naxals. He also said the mode of killing of unarmed civilians has been the hallmark of Maoist violence over the years. Two days ago, Manmohan Singh, Indian Prime Minister, once again described Maoists as the greatest internal threat of the country.
From all these facts, we can describe the Indian Maoists as a group of uncivilized, inhuman, barbaric killers.
The ultimate aim of the Mao terrorists is not the welfare of the tribal, or the resistance to state violence. Their final goal is to overthrow the democratically elected Indian State and establish a Communist autocratic state like China. So the discussion or debate on their violence is irrelevant. It is the time for severe action. India should declare a full fledged war on Mao terrorists.
