The Issue of Naxalism in present day India.

The issue of Naxalism in India, pertaining to the present day, makes a person come to certain unfortunate conclusions. Today, fighting an armed uprising against the administration of India is impossible. The Naxal uprising which started in the nineteen sixties, had a leadership which was disillusioned with the status quo of the Indian State. It was more impossible then, than it is today, to fight such a battle. The Naxal uprising then, surfaced under very romantic notions of Josef Stalin, and Karl Marx. I knew a gentleman who looked upto Josef Stalin, but he had since given up Naxalism. He was, and I suppose is, a great intellectual mind who lives in Kolkata, perhaps. What strikes me today, is that he had the same notions about Josef Stalin, as I may have about Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, today. When I mentioned that Stalin is supposed to have committed certain crimes, very henious crimes, he refused to accept. It strikes me now, today, that another person may have as strong views about Naxalism, as I may have about Democracy. After all, Stalin was as much a man as am I, and so was my science teacher. Opium is not the religion of the masses, nor is religion the opium of the masses. Perhaps, thought, and feeling, when given full flight, become a law unto themselves. This gentleman thought himself more capable than the man next to himself. He did not believe in religion. But his capacity for thought, made him a great champion for the Naxal cause. I believe, he had given up the cause, because the people did not believe, with one intent in Naxalism, in West Bengal.
Today, the Naxal movement in India, is very different. This movement is very recent in it's entity. I believe, that no ideology drives the present Naxal menace, but the members of the Naxal groups are tribals, who have been displaced by the emerging India, who no one bothers to care for, whose livelihood has been made non existent. The tribals are a great number in India, and the states where the Naxal issue has surfaced, have a large tribal population. Without the habitat, which they have, they loose the sense of their identity. This causes, perhaps hopelessness in their ranks, and then when they have no other option, then they are made to join what is termed as a Naxal movement. The leaders of the movement are perhaps, very few in number. I too feel for the tribals, and their plight. But is it right for a large number of Indian citizens to be made cannon fodder for Indian security forces, whose work it is to defend India, and her citizens? How is it, that the elite Naxal leadership, sees themselves as human beings, and the tribals as human beings, but not the other people of India, as such, too? Is the ordinary Indian citizen bereft of heart, or mind, that he does not want to see the plight of these tribals? Tribals cannot displace the Indian administration from New Delhi. If possible, the minds of the Indian citizenry, must be made more compassionate towards their immediate, and not so immediate environment. I see a disconnect between the Naxal leadership, and the Naxal cadre. The cadre is not the leadership, and the leadership is not the cadre. It would be good for the Indian Government to work for the tribals, as much as work is done for Rural and Urban India. The Statehood of India and all what it stands for, is dependent on the good works the citizen of India does in this regard.
