Solution towards Naxalism.



The war against the naxalism is going on the gunpoint. The naxal attacks are meant to weaken the resolve of a country and challenge its capacity to remain a peaceful and Democratic Nation. India is facing diverse challenges in the management of its internal security. According to the documents seized by police , Maoists are planning to overthrow  the Indian state by 2050 by the armed liberation struggle. Maoists use to homework before launching any operation. They usually do survey in well trained army style to make their attack successful. After every attack they do a post mortem and analysis. Our home minister P. Chindambaram has declared the operation green hunt against the naxalites .The operation is going on since two weeks, but the troops could not get any big success by this operation. However on 23.03.2010 the naxalites led protest against this operation and they succeed to give message of their presence in different states. Before this operation congress government had done such type of operation when naxalism was in its childhood stage. In 1971 after the birth of naxalism in naxalbari of west Bengal,P.M Indira Gandhi had sent a troop of 40 thousand of Army and police to destroy naxalists in forest of west Bengal.  But after two months when the troops come out, the naxalite cader was established in five states. This was the failure of Govt. towards this direction. But govt. had not considered this as the failure of govt. there was no any report published by the government about this operation. This operation was headed by Gen. Manek Shaw. Now our home minister P.Chidambaram is looking for solution on the gun point with “Operation green hunt”. Without looking solution on the basis of talk he is using this type of step. Actually from 40 years the governments are exercising this practice. But in fact naxalism has expanded his legs to large area of country. Out of 626 districts of India near about 40% of the total districts declared as the naxal affected districts. In early 2009, Raman singh, chief minister of chattishgarh started a peace movement in naxal effected area of chattishgarh . The movement is named of “salaawa judum”, means campaign for peace. The concept of this campaign states that the tribals who are joining the salaawa judum camp, supposed to be supporter of govt., while the tribals who are not agree to leave their homes and join the camp are supposed as naxalites. . Accrding to constitution of India, article 19-E states that all citizens shall have right to reside and settle in  any part of the territory of India. This is not fair; the government is demolishing the fundamental rights of those tribals. This is as like as the divide and rule policy, by which the tribals are being separated in two distinct societies.
                                                                           Why near about half of the total districts of India become Red Corridor.? What are the reason behind it.?  The birth of naxalism took place from a district of Bengal and now it has covered 92 thousand square kilometer land of country. Then obviously there are solid facts behind it. As you go through the report based on the report of the people’s tribunal on Nandigram “Nandigram, what really  happened ” released in august 2007, the basic reason was the decision of  Bengal Govt. to set up a chemical hub at Nandigram. This controversy started when the Govt. had decided that the Salim group of Indonesia would set up a chemical hub at Nandigram as part of proposed Petroleum, chemicals and petrochemicals Investment region.(PCIPR) . Another example from Andhra Pradesh, in 2004 on the appeal of Chief Minister Y.S Rajshekhar Reddy, naxalite were come to talk with government but conversation stops with when the naxalite want to talk on two issues. Naxalites   produced the census of 30 acre land near the Hyderabad, earlier this land was proposed to be distributed in poor people by the government, that has been possessed by the industrial family and powerful leaders. Second was the encounter of 150 naxalites during the seize fire.  As you see in Jharkhand , there is possession of coal and mines  mafia throughout the state. And Our home minister says that whenever the naxalites do not take off their arms, there is no any possibility of talk with the government. If they will raise the question in counterpart that the government should free of corruption, then they will talk with the government. Then what will be the answer of government?
                                          There is a question, why naxalism is inspired by the Marxism. Can Marxism gives solution towards this problem? There is an example of China, on one hand Mao gave a new structure and look to China across the world. He constructed China as a powerful opposition of communist Soviet Russia. He made China as superpower but on the other hand he took some decisions, which became harmful for his country. According to recent facts coming from China, at the days of “Great Leap Forward”, 50 million people were died. In Cultural Revolution of China near about 50 to 60 million people were died. In fact Marxism or communalism can not be the friend of naxalism. But by slight change in the theory of Marxism gives solution. In India there is strong example of solution towards this problem i.e. the socialism. It is made up of mixing the Marxism and Gandhism actually it is combination of left and right corridor under legacy of Dr. Rammanohar Lohia. Till alive, he was himself the strong opposition of unlawful govt. policies and acts. The birth of naxalism took place after his death, when there was lack of strong opposition in the country. The vision of Lohia about socialism in Indian context is very clear. For example in 1974 Jayprakash Narayan calls off the dacoits of chambal to surrender. On his call the dacoits of chambal capitulate themselves and joined the mainstream of the society. The case of Phulan devi is strongest example of change. The system should talk with them with justifying the constitutional rights of the common people.
                                                Naxalism is a problem which can be solved only on the basis of mutual talk between the government and the naxalites. In fact naxalism is a voice against injustice. Naxalism and Terrorism are children of violence, but they are not brothers, in fact they are step-brothers. Terrorism challenges the constitution and tends to form a new state within that state, where as naxalism challenges the law and order, which are the reason of injustice of people’s right of the state. It is the movement by victims, discarded people to save their basic citizen rights. Have you ever thought that why certain states like west Bengal , M.P, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand and north east states are victim of this phenomena. This arises due to irregular development of states. After 60 years of getting independence the powers are not decentralized to grass root level.  Despite the enactment and implementation of Panchayati raj act 1994, the PRI remain unempowered. In fact the government is the mother of this spoiled child. In 1996, the govt.  made a law for implementation of Panchayati Raj Institutions in scheduled areas, but it is not implemented intentionally till now. The decentralization of political power and some powerful reform in current system is the only solution towards the naxalism.
