We once had a leader who knew exactly how to deal with this nonsense and someone who didn't give a damn about what the world thought and did what was needed to be done. Not everything she did was right far from it but there were problems she did handle well.
When the then-Assam government refused to part with funds to help a Mizo District Council bracing for mautam's effects, Ranganathan writes
here, it set off a chain of events that included the formation of the Mizo National Front (MNF).
By March 2, the MNA had overrun the Aizawl treasury and armoury and was at the headquarters of the Assam Rifles. It had also captured several smaller towns south of Aizawl. The military tried to ferry troops and weapons by helicopter, but was driven away by MNA snipers.
So, at 11:30 am on March 5, the air force attacked Aizawl with heavy machine gun fire. On March 6, the attack intensified, and incendiary bombs were dropped.
At the that time, there was one road coming south from Silchar in Assam, that traveled all the way down to where the state’s limits ended. To the east and west of this road were vast tracts of forests, hills and ravines, dotted with hundreds of villages. The military plan was to gather villagers from all over, and cluster them along the side of this road. These new, so-called Protected and Progressive Villages (PPVs),
In every case, villagers refused to move. When they were coerced to march, they would refuse to burn down their properties. Then, the military officer and his men would torch the whole place down. They would march in a column guarded by the military, to their designated PPV.
Life here was tough: each resident was numbered and tagged, going and coming was strictly regulated and rations were meagre.
The scale of the Mizoram regrouping was awesome. Out of 764 villages, 516 were evacuated and squeezed into 110 PPVs. In the Aizawl area, about 95% of the rural population was herded into PPVs.
We need not follow the same thing we could make a few changes likes spreading the villagers throughout India and giving them jobs using drones instead of planes controlling chokepoints etc.
The reality is that there is simply no political will to do anything bas votes dedo and something will be done on some imaginary x year. The govt has changed but the people the bureaucracy the important positions all are held by the same people. The urban naxals the reporters the
sympathizers still operate talk without any repercussions the police is still the same and the people who lead them too.
