with the bhopal fuss, we have forgotten all about the 150 people killed in the jnanesvari train and the hundreds killed in dantewada.
'Maoists and Activists: The Double Deception'
Dr. Vijaya Rajiva (Haindava Keralam, 25/05/2010)
The people of Bharat have been deliberately kept under a cloud
of deception by the Maoists and the activists. While the former
has a set of goals in this enterprise it is not clear why the activists
who tacitly support them by their silence on two aspects of Maoism
in India, have been providing what appears to be a cover for Maoism.
The two aspects are the Maoist goal of capturing state power at
all cost and their pretence of benefitting the masses of India.
Till recently, the activists have wittingly or unwittingly joined in this
deception. The cumulative effect of Maoists violence over the
years, which came to a head not only in the recent killings in Dantewada
but also the public killings of civilians in the bus explosion, has roused the
Indian public to a point where the activists have quietly retreated from
what has hitherto been their verbal/philosophical cover for Maoist
crimes against the people, whether tribals or the general civilian
population of India.
f
It was only the other day (March 21,2010)that one of those "fashionably
progressive" activists, as journalist Swapan Das Gupta described one of
them, hailed the Maoists as Gandhians with guns! The depravity of such
a characterisation could only come from someone who new neither her
Gandhi nor her Naxals. . .
What does this double talk mean in real terms ?. . . . To understand the
double deception and get past the smokescreen of justification for the
Maoist presence in the Dastar forests one must ask the question: since
1980 and therefore the last three decades, what have the Maoists done
for the Tribals, in whose name they have undertaken the violence against
the Indian state ?
