It's amazing what India can do with money though, $26 million for the whole COBRA program while Toronto spends half of that on 50-100 police officers for few neighbourhoods with gang problems..
Thing is, on one hand you have 'India' what we want to keep alive our nation, history, etc. on the other you have the reality that India is essentially a feudal kingdom.
The 4 point strat. already used only needs to be tweaked in a few areas:
1. Instead of suspending gov. and invoking pres. rule better to leave gov. in place and send in commandos
2. Instead of flooding area with security force you do sneaky stuff like 40k strong border force.
3. Negotiate: They are your countrymen, an example was during Sikh times if an insurgent had managed to kill 1000 of your men, (bhai sukhdev singh babbar) you should compromise with him, and make him a general!
4. No need to force elections if you never stopped gov.
The scale of technology is shifting vastly into the state's favor, we can only trust our soldiers now.
Where before, it was gun vs gun now it's not. Also, many naxals are not brainwashed look at this:
The Bastar Land Grab: The Expropriation of Farmers in India | Global Research
" In 2005, Salwa Judum starts. It's typical strategic hamleting, moving people out of the villages and into camps. Here, they emptied 644 villages, by the government's admission, 350,000 people. About 50,000 were brought to the camps, and today these camps still have about 10,000 people. Some fled to neighbouring states particularly Andhra Pradesh. Where are the rest? They seem to have gone even deeper into the forest, probably 200,000 people."
"They try to cultivate and live in the forest, but they are being treated as outlaws. This displacement has been a very violent process. There are affidavits, evidence in the "Salwa Judum" cases filed in the Supreme Court (Nandini Sundar's case and Kartam Joga's case). In one block alone, the Konta block, there were 500 deaths, 99 rapes, 2000 houses burned. This was a violent, state-backed vigilante movement, and was also essentially pushed back militarily by the Maoists.
The notion of a few Maoists manipulating people is a bit simplistic. Even in the newspapers, when they describe ambushes, they describe 700, or 1000 attackers at times. Getting 700 people to a rally is difficult for us in the democratic movement. If 700 people are going to war, they must be looking upon it like an adivasi or national liberation struggle. And it is the State that has forced them to choose one side or the other."
Or, more personally: what about this that traitor of humanity who talks about innovative strategies, does he ever talk about how right to life was suspended, and he was given free hand to do whatever it took and he did? Khalistan Zindabad.
Sardar : The Night Of The Fake Nihang | Sikh Archives
"Phoola was a fake Nihang. He was not a Sikh but a member of the virulently Anti-Sikh cult, the Naamdharis. Phoola was recruited by K.P.S. Gill, the Police Chief of the Punjab to sow terror among Sikhs. Gill released hardened murderers and killers from maximum security prisons into the general populace on the condition that they would do the bidding of the police. These dreaded criminals released into civil society with carte blanche to murder were called Cats or Black Cats. Phoola was such a black cat. Phoola had a band of forty four thugs under his command and was supplied with semi-automatic weapons by Gill (prohibited bore guns in the Punjab).
Phoola's speciality was burning people alive. He loved the spectacle of a man burning like a Roman candle and howling with pain."
"If Phoola suspected you of opposing the Indian Government, he would show up in the middle of the night at your home with his pack of Nihangs frothing at the mouth like a wild pack of rabid dogs. There would be a brutal interrogation session where you would be tortured. The mandate given to Phoola by K.P. Gill was very simple, interrogate individuals he suspected of Anti-Indian activities and find out who were their friends and benefactors. Then provide this information to the Punjab Police. This was K.P.S Gill's version of a primitive Facebook operation. Gill loved to run down bloodlines killing. To cover his tracks, Phoola would burn the whole family to death so that there would be no witnesses to the torture. Since he was a sadistic and brutal killer like Gill, he liked to burn his victims alive. K.P. Gill is lauded by the Government of India as The Super Cop of India."
" some 22 years old, a heroin addict; his body physically destroyed by heroin; was lodged in the same jail as Phoola, awaiting the disposition of his case. His name was Navtej Singh. Despite the depredations visited upon him; fate was about to immortalise him. Navtej would become a Sardar; a pillar along The Path. He was provided with a canister of gasoline by an unknown person. Not a gun, not a knife, not poison, not a shard of glass, but a cannister of gasoline. Retribution was to be repaid in kind.
Then the hallowed time arrived. On August 17, 2008 at 11:30 in the forenoon, while Phoola was having lunch in the prison canteen, Navtej Singh and his friend Harchand Singh approached the killer. The heroin addict, Navtej was holding the cannister of gasoline in his hand. As Navtej Singh approached Phoola, he cursed him. The burly Nihang stood up to beat the wasted drug addict. The Lion Harchand Singh, slender and small in frame, moved in front of the Lion Navtej Singh and grappled the Nihang. Sardar Navtej Singh doused the Nihang with gasoline and threw a match on him. The Nihang lit up like a Christmas tree. Phoola became a burning Roman torch"

So, while we can talk about terrorists and indeed many if not most are, how do we as responsible Indians address the core issues? We can kill every single terrorist, but Punjab is still flowing with alcohol and dry of water; and the naxal belt will still be stripped of forest, and have everything dug up. Remember, the wettest places on earth (northeast India) have water shortages because the British cut down all the trees, and this causes floods in Bangladesh.
Remember, to be an Indian before a citizen.
Just my 2 cents.
