Then my friend I would have to admit red corridor shrunk in India because we persuaded maoist to adopt Gandhism.
Chidambaram had finalized to deploy Army in red corridor after initial blowback of deploying CAPF and had persuaded Antony for the same. It also had been decided to make New Raipur area as new Army cantonment. Army was reluctant. Rightly so. But in a few years CAPF graduated. And now are doing good. Is not Anti Naxalism a part of Internal security?
Similarly, I may remind you, Greyhound is a state force of Andhra Pradesh ( erstwhile) and they were very successful against naxals.
BSF's performance in 1971 war was lauded even by Sam Bahadur. But, lot of that credit goes to the Emergency Commissioned Officers of IA absorbed in BSF.
And State Police wouldn't collect hafta from maoist but would pay them protection money
No, seriously, situation isn't that bad. They will be successful against maoists.
Unlike Chidambaram who wanted quick results, you have to give them time and take few blows but then they will be able to control.
