Currently naxalism is the biggest internal threat that
India is facing all over the nation. This far-left radical communist group is
currently the gravest trouble that the whole nation is experiencing. In 2006 Indian
intelligence agency R&AW (Research and Analysis Wing) estimated that 20,000
armed cadre Naxalites were operating in addition to 50,000 regular cadres and
even pronounced it as the biggest internal threat India has ever faced.
The states of Karnataka, Chattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra
Pradesh, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh continue to struggle with
this demon. This problem has led to only marginal development in these states
especially Chattisgarh and Jharkhand. Due to naxalism, many attempts by the
government as well as authorities to ameliorate the condition of tribesmen etc.
have also been foiled by the naxalite groups. Despite of being completely
democratic states, in some areas the fear of naxalites is so much that people
don’t even step out to vote in the election and all this sums up to exasperate
the already bad condition of many states.
According to some sources, the heart rending truth is
that one fifth of the forests are now being controlled by naxalites and they
are currently active in around 160 districts of country’s 604 administrative
districts and the recent attacks in Sukma, more or less, prove the facts.
Around 10-12 Kilometers far from Chintagufa in Sukma District of Chattisgarh,
this notorious group killed 12 CRPF men and also 2 officers. The groups
ruthlessness can be observed from the fact that on April6,2010, more than 1000
naxalites plotted an ambush and killed around 76 CRPF personnel while on May
17, the same year, they blew up a whole bus killing 15 policemen and 20
civilians on Dantewada-Sukma road.
In 2013, this group was behind the attack on rally of Indian
National Congress, killing about 29 people. They even killed Mahendra Karma and
Nand Kumar Patel, who were significant leaders of the nation.
Despite of being having this problem for so many
years, we have not been able to look up for a perfect and optimum solution to
this problem. Notwithstanding so many efforts, we still continue to be at the
same place. Most of our programs and efforts have been futile and nugatory and
therefore no big success has been attained in curbing naxalism. Innocuous people
and army officials continue to be killed by these merciless people but still
the government has not been able to come up with a stiff action plan, it can
adhere to in order to put a halt on such activities. Today the condition in
districts like Sukma, Dantewada condition is pathetic. People don’t even come
out of houses fearing naxalites. Girls in the area are mostly fearful of these
people and therefore never go out of house while on the other hands the boys
are vulnerable to being kidnapped and then recruited in their groups, all this
leading to zero development of the naxalite-hit state. These are only a few
things that I have mentioned, the real story stands really excruciating.
Today, we need to rejuvenate our approach in order to
tackle with this ghastly group. Today we need to make our policies go a
complete redux in order to restrain these people from killing any more
innocents. A change needs to be effected in the overall policy dealing with
this problem otherwise, the benign people of the naxalite-affected areas would
always live in fear and a large part of India’s population would remain
undeveloped.
