Naxals, India's biggest internal security threat

Now a day’s one of the most talk about issue in side or outside the government is NAXALITE. You can watch hell lot of people call them self’s intellectuals discussing naxalites on news channels. Yaa these are the same news channel which were showing the Mumbai blast live and knowing and unknowing helping the terrorist. So I really doubt the intension of these news channels. Anyway I don’t want to discuss about the role of news channel here.

So from where does nexalite come? Very few people know that naxalite is not a dictionary word. The term Naxalites comes from Naxalbari, a small village in West Bengal, where an extremist section of Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) led by Charu Majumdar and Kanu Sanyal led a violent uprising in 1967, trying to develop a "revolutionary opposition" in opposition to the CPI(M) leadership. The insurrection started on May 25, 1967 in Naxalbari village when a farmer was attacked over a land dispute. Maoists in the guise of farmers retaliated by attacking the local landlords and escalated the violence.

Today the center of naxalite movement is Lalghar in west Bengal, where few month back Naxalites group threw out the local police and attacked members of the ruling communist government.

Few days back Naxal attacked a police camp where 24 jawans of the Eastern Frontier Rifles (EFR) were killed.

Naxalism, what once began as a legitimate movement for justice has now become criminalised and is spiralling out of control and perpetuating a cycle of violence.

There is some intellectual sympathy for naxalite, who think war against nexalite is not justified. Somebody being an intellectual does not insulate somebody from actions which follow from their activities which have criminal implications. I also feel that the government should talk to then but not at there terms. They should lay off arms before any kind of talk.

Naxalism is the greatest threat to India's unity and it should be dealt with strong arms.

There is no alternative. They only terrorise people and to counter terror they have to be wiped out. That is the only way these kinds of insurgent movements have been wiped out in every other country in the world. There is no other way to deal with such terror. The Naxals didn't believe in democracy and in fact believe in boycotting the state. "The people who don't play by the rules of democracy cannot be treated by the rules of only democracy.

I believed all should condemn the violence and the killings being carried out by the Naxals and it is high time that Central and state government coordination in this matter and strike at naxals.
