Increasing Naxal InfluenceThe greatest internal security threat

India, despite being a very vast coun-
try, has been able to maintain its demo-
cratic status since independence in 1947,
whereas its neighbours hither to been un-
able to prove their regard for democratic
values. Not that the democratic states of
India has never been threatened, but it
has succeeded in quelling the disruptive
forces both from outside and inside from
time to time.
Nobody can deny the fact that India
has left no stone unturned to deal, with
external threats like jihad terrorism and
internal threat like Maoism-whether the
Indian state has been succeed in tackling
these two threats up to a satisfactory
level or not is a matter of debate.
Maoism that has acquired a bad name
for itself is in fact another name for Nax-
alism that came into existence as an ide-
ology over four decades ago. Naxalism
owes its name to the place of its origin-
Naxalbari, a village in the northern part
of west Bengal. In Naxalbari, a militant
section of the communist party of India
(Maoist) - CPI (M), led by charu majum
dar and kanu sanyal, attacked the police
on May 25, 1967 to avenge the death of
farmer, killed over a land dispute. The
same year, the Naxalites organized the all
India coordination committee of commu-
nist revolutionaries (AICCCR), and later
on broke away from the CPI (M). The
believers in the ideology formed the
communist party of India (Marxist
Leninist). Initially, they confined their
activities to west Bengal only but gradu-
ally, they expanded their reach and
spread to other parts of India. It is due t
their strong presence in the rural parts of
central and eastern India that vast
swathes of the country are collectively
referred to as the “red corridor”. As if
2009, the Naxalites or Maoists are active
across approximately 220 districts in
twenty states of India.
In recent times Maoist are focusing on
recruiting school dropouts especially
from the tri junction of Orissa, Chhattis-
garh and Andhra Pradesh. Their recruit-
ment mainly focus on tribals from Koyas
in Koraput, Vanda in Malkangiri, Paraja
in Kandh, Bhuyan in Sundergarh, San-
thal in Mayorbhanj.

Panda’s wife heldWife of Top Maoist leader Sabyasachi
Panda, and other two co- workers of
Milli Kishore Jena and Sangram Bhol ,
were physically produced before the
Banpur Court with tight security on Fri-
day. Earlier the hearing was conducted
through Video Conferencing. Police
force were deployed in the way from
Bhubaneswar to Banpur.
About 6 Inspectors, 9Sub-Inspectors and
17 ASIs were deployed headed by DSPs
of Khurdha and Balugan. The Court was
examined thoroughly by the anti bomb
squad .The out side of the court was
crowded to see Milli Panda. Dharnurd-
har Das, father of Milli was present in
the Court.
As the sections mentioned in the Charge
sheet are important and not coming
under Banpur Court , the Magistrate
Rina Choudhury shifted the case to
Khurdha Additional District Judge
Court for hearing.
It is to be mentioned here that on 14th
January this year evening the Police had
seized maoist posters from a Bolero
No- OR 02 BA 5327 and arrested
Kishore Jena and Sangram Bhol. Basing
on the information from them, the Po-
lice had arrested Subhashree Panda alias
Milli from a rented house at Hansapal
that night. Milli were produced before
Banpur Court. The investing Crime
Branch submitted their Charge Sheet on
13th July.
“She is a prize catch. Her arrest is a
severe jolt to the Maoist movement
in Orissa,” a senior police, request-
ing anonymity, told “The ET”.

dreaded Maoist leader, however said

their respective families since long.

cially from the tri junction of Orissa,
Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. Their
recruitment mainly focus on tribals from
Koyas in Koraput, Vanda in Malkangiri,
Paraja in Kandh, Bhuyan in Sundergarh,
Santhal in Mayorbhanj.
According to intelligence officials The
extremists take young boys and girls
from indigent families, give them rudi-
mentary education and enlist them as po-
litical members of CPI – M” After brain
washing the youngsters for years they
gain a sense of empowerment and be-
cause of their extremist activities they
turned into professional revolutionaries.
The indoctrination of children begins
from the age of 14, initially they are
given a mere job and gradually are
trained into a hard core Maoist.
According to police estimates there are
300 to 500 hardcore Maoists in Orissa. A
few days ago, again an armed Maoist
killed a teacher suspecting him to be a
police informer in Gotiguda.
The incident took place in night, when
over 30 Maoists attacked the school and
asked Ghasi Kendruka, (35), to come out
and slit his throat in nearby mango or-
chard. After which they left posters and
letters claiming their responsibility and
manage to escape, said the official.
They are no more restricted to a partic-
ular area. They are spreading their web as
far as possible. recently they called a
week long bandh in tribal districts of
Gadchiroli and Gondia, bordering Chhat-
tisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra
Pradesh- to commemorate the death an-
niversary of Naxalite founder, Charu Ma-
jumder, who died in police custody in
1972. They distributed pamphlets and
leaflets in the area and warned the people
do not defy the bandh call. They have
“appealed” to the locals to ensure that the
bandh is a success.
Another case in Bihar, where, Maoist
killed seven cops in which the improper
reinforcement of CRPF is blamed. This
was the second Maoist strike. In another
attack in south Chhattisgarh, five security
men including three border security force
troopers died at the hands of the rebels.
The Bihar conflict, in which nine police
men were injured, to place 160 kms
southeast of Patna. Four security who
took part in combat are missing. The en-
counter continued for more than 6 hours
in a hilly forested area. “A CRPF unit has
been rushed to the Sheetalkorasi hills to
secure the bodies of the seven police men
killed in the encounter and recover the
missing police men”, said Lalan Prasad;
Munger Divisional Commissioner.
More than the men weapons and the
helicopters - all of which the centre
promised to increase in the fight against
the Naxals- it’s the ideology that matters
the most. Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh who chaired the Chief Ministers’
meets in New Delhi to find ways to
tackle the Naxal, where Bihar CM Nitish
Kumar and his Chhattisgarh counterpart
Raman Singh presented their theories to
tackle the issue. Nitish was adamant,
“Naxals cannot be overpowered with
guns”. Singh was equally unbending,
“Only guns are the answer”.
Nitish underlined that “Naxals are a
part of our society even though they have
been misled into following the path of vi-
olence”. He further claimed that “En-
forcement action alone leads to wider
alienation, making heroes out of the ex-
tremist organization and leads to only
symptomatic treatment, leaving the un-
derlined diseases to reappear in a more
virulent form”. Singh, however, have op-
posite claim. Recently, Mamata Banerjee
made a visit to Lalgarh where she got
stuck on her own comment after she
made a statement in Lalgarh claiming
Azad’s death as “murder”.
“Whatever I have said in Lalgarh I
have said as a Trinamool congress chief.
But I am proud that I have visited Lal-
garh”. Incidentally, after this, the top
Maoist leader Kishenji, alias Koteswar
Rao, hold news agency that he would
prefer a three month ceasefire by both
sides and talk for peace on this Mamata
said, “if they(Maoists) responded to the
president’s and PM’s appeal its good for
country. Let the problem be solved
through the democratic process”. She
also hinted at her willingness to mediate
with the Maoist. “All problems should be
settled through negotiation”, she said.

The Red Corridor: Naxal affected areas all over in India.The demand of the situation is a multi
pronged approach. If the violent inces-
sant of the Naxalites are to be con-
demned, every critic of the government
ought not to be labeled as a Maoist.
There is absolutely no sense of being a
pro or anti Maoist. The situation calls for
a very objective approach. All the aspects
of the Maoist phenomenon should be ex-
amined and understood well. All possible
measures should be taken to put an end
to this social aberration. The Naxalite
should be convinced to join the main-
stream and the authorities should explore
the possibilities of accommodating the
Naxalites a radical party in the medical
process. The Naxalites should follow the
path of the left parties which opted for
the democratic method and came to
power in Kerala and West Bengal. They
should give up day dreaming about
India’s transformation into an Indian
Marxist State.
