was just listening to ramchandra guha on ndtv and he suggested 1/10th area is under maoist rebellion so quite possible "Govt regains control over 10,000 sq km areas dominated by Naxals" is a spot on report.

i am not able to understand this whole thing. it is said our 33% of the districts are maoist infested and largely in states like chhattisgarh, jharkhand, orissa, bihar and WB. india's total area is 3,287,263 sq km, so the one third translates to 1,095,754 sq kms, lets say the area covered by the...

Question is not about should but one of will, better put as "Will the Indian government use armed forces against the naxals/maoists?" and the answer is a NO! There is a huge political cost attached because the maoist infested area represents a huge one third of Indian districts which gives a...

15 SPOs have been taken out, very sad and condolences, and now what excuse is the government going to come up with this time?

Paaji, COIN ops have been handled by both the state police and by the army. Punjab, Tripura, Andhra saw the state police do it and with grand success with completely wiping out the menace in these states. Army has done an excellent job in J&K, and have been fairly successful with the NE ops...

You got any idea of what is happening? The poor in these naxal infested area vote for the democracy, guess what in the previous state elections a huge 76% of these poor from these naxal infested area voted in state elections when in other parts which had no naxal movement the average was around...

Paaji, there are points to which i do not agree on. 1 you do not want a near one third of the country under armed forces special act, possibly the territory covered will be more when NE, and J&K are added upto the naxal infested areas. 2 Armed forces do not look keen and the primary reason is...

Couldn’t have put it better, seriously! At the end of the day it all boils down to the political will on part of the political parties. One day these parties make use of the naxals to push their poll prospects and the other day when the same comes to bite them they try and fight them. BJP...

lol well said, its about time he walked the talk he does. all the talk of who is a naxal and who is not is all bull crap, if the andhra police can distinguish and can pull it off with such huge success and all with in span of just 3 years, when at one point in time it seemed andhra would be...

The real question coming out is, do our politicians have the requisite political resolve or are we still listening to rhetoric? This as I have said is a watershed moment and also a point where if the actual resolve to finish off the menace is not taken now then it will be left a little too late...

that is the easiest thing to say, so as to take off all the responsibility from the shoulders of the politicians. so very cleverly they have shifted the focus back on the crpf personnel so that no one puts odd questions to these politicians. just how much more pathetic can these politicians get...

this is so true, it so very well reminds one of the jaffna heli assault, and when the news report came that the rescue chopper was under fire it indeed seemed as if it was repeat of that tragedy.

There is no doubt in what PC is saying is correct, back in days when WB first confronted these naxals there was an excellent ground intelligence, well stocked police stations, and a well coordinated on ground operation which helped take on, marginalize and liquidate the naxals to quite a great...

It is such a shame, in our country the way media behaves. They are bloody more interested in highlighting a carp on sania-shoaib which is all about intrusion into peoples personal lives but when it comes to pressing issues they keep turning a blind eye. At least help build a public opinion...

Well there is something dramatically wrong some where and people incharge on the whole are completely clueless as to what is happening on ground. It is stunning, 100s of these naxals get together, and each time there are absolutely no intelligence inputs and all these attacks come as a surprise...

76 security men killed by Naxals in Chhattisgarh. A patrol party of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) was on its way back from a three-day operation when it found itself totally ambushed. From a hilltop in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district, about 300 Naxals opened fire at the CRPF...

There has always been a nexus between the politicians and the outlawed outfits, be it in j&k, the naxal effected belt, north east, the Mumbai under world or in the past in Punjab, and with ltte and veerappan. But what is shocking is the ease with which naxals have been able to use the media...

absolutely agree with you flint, this one threat is the biggest ever threat to the sovereignty of the nation and still the national mainstream media does not give a hoot to the issue. imagine how this nuisance has grown quietly through the years, a movement limited to just four states something...
