Enemies of the Republic

Assume that Kasab and other terrorists attacked only the Chhatrapati Shivaji Train station and, say, Dharavi slums. The reaction of the elites would have been one of commiseration. But they attacked the core of Indian business that shook the Page Three crowd. The entire media and State sprung into action. The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci) had even prepared a document on the terrorism threat from Pakistan. The Naxals are creating mayhem and killing innocents too. But as this happens in the backwaters of East of Kanpur (EoK), we only have slovenly debates and discussions about dealing with them. One set of useful idiots — in the words of Lenin — supporting the Maoists are arguing about means and ends in the air-conditioned TV studios of Delhi. Make no mistake and have no illusions. The aim of Maoists is to "uproot the current republic run by comprador bourgeoisie and establish the dictatorship of the proletariat". Their means are savage and the goal is brutal dictatorship. The 'jholawalas' will not have multiple TV stations to debate when Maoists come to power. There will be just one station propagating the party line.
