This is true but only partly. I always said that the Maoists started with a noble cause. But in recent years they have become the real terrorists.
If they had attacked the politicians and killed them and not harmed the common man, then I would call them true fighters for a cause. Instead they bomb the common man, kill government workers, kidnap, extort money, terrorize villages and murder people in cold blood. They fix bombs and kill civilian buses passing by. They don't let development take place so that they don't run out of complaining about how inefficient the government is. If they really want development, they have to stand aside and let construction workers do the job; but instead they kidnap and kill them so that there is no development and they can continue to brainwash people.
I have been to many of these places for projects that adjoin forests. Government IS to blame YES... but so ARE the Maoists who have now tasted political blood.
They will NEVER have the balls to attack a Chidambaram, Patil, Sonia or Rahul but will continue killing the "aam aadmi" because they can.
They have proven that they are nothing more than bandits and terrorists who have lost their just cause and are now the same as Lashkar e Taiba.
If this escapist government is no willing to accept that doesn't change reality.
Maoists have strayed away from a just cause and now like terrorists must be put down with extreme prejudice and brute force.
Those who support these people even after their crimes against the common innocent man whether in Media (Roy, etc) in public (Soren etc) should be caught and finished off immediately because it is propaganda that spreads through "soft" mediums like these supporters.
And these supporters should first be destroyed. Once they are obliterated, the Maoist propaganda machine will be doomed and so will they be.
If the GOI wanted, Maoists would be history by now, but politicians intentionally don't do anything because they find the use of keeping problems alive.
Just like how it happened with Virappan, Phoolan devi and other such bandits who were earlier used for politics and put down; now Maoists are used and once their use is over, the GOI will simply send in troops, tanks and jets and annihilate them.
