For all that has been written, civil society must answer for the deaths of innocents by outfits that do not respect democracy at all.
– India’s Home Minister P. Chidambaram blaming civil rights activists after the second violent attack by Maoist Freedom Fighters in Dantewada.
Source: Times of India
Pushed to the wall by decades of deprivation and oppression, India’s subaltern classes are finally showing the cojones to fight back and this bozo Chidambaram is now playing the stupid blame game attacking civil rights activists in the only country where the word encounter has a sui generis meaning not found in any dictionary.
If anyone has blood on their hands, it’s not civil rights activists but dickhead netas like Chidambaram, who by the way is now hinting of using air power to crush the Maoist liberators.
What’s next on your oppression agenda, Chidambaram?
Planning to drop Agent Orange on your countrymen?

It is very sad to see the innocent die and netas doing nothing about it. How much suffering should common man take?

Between the whacko Pakistanis on the west, the Chinese Yellow Monkeys on the north and the civil war raging within, India has no hope.
The maoists should first target this buffoon and many other stupid politicians rather than targeting innocent civilians.
Maybe the writer of this post is stupid, or probably just mis-informed.
But praising militants/rebels for spreading terror to combat failures of the bureaucracy/politicians is asinine to say the least. Unlike other dictatorships, India has a democratic process, which albeit flawed has demonstrated resilience in developing under privileged regions.
The larger problem with the Maoist rebels is the under reported story of how our friendly neighbours (plus missionaries) are funding the insurgency.
Besides there’s nothing wrong in pointing out the activities of so called “human-rights” morons who jump to blame the Government at every turn without contributing anything of value. PC has not shied away from accepting Government’s responsibilities in causing the problem.

1. You write: Maybe the writer of this post is stupid, or probably just mis-informed.
What part of the under-development statistics in the above post is misinformed. That’s not a question demanding an answer, just a rhetorical flourish because they are accurate.
2. You write: But praising militants/rebels for spreading terror to combat failures of the bureaucracy/politicians ….
Militants? Rebels?
We bet that’s how the British described Indian freedom fighters in the pre-Independence era. Thank God, they were made of sterner stuff. Maybe, you ought to look up the word Quisling.

There’s no doubt Pak-China-Bangladesh are abetting the Maoists, as it is in their interest to see a weakened India.
But the bigger problem is the alienation of millions of Indian people in the rural hinterlands from the Indian state because the state besides failing to provide the most basic services has frequently engaged in oppressive activities in the area.
4. You write: India has a democratic process, which albeit flawed has demonstrated resilience in developing under privileged regions
India…has demonstrated resilience in developing under privileged regions?
The sheer nonsense of it. We haven’t stopped laughing at the above drivel. 😆
India…has demonstrated resilience in developing under privileged regions?
If there is consensus on any one point in this festering Naxalite/Maoist issue, it’s that India has failed to develop, what you describe as, the under-privileged regions. And you have the nerve to call us mis-informed.
We strongly advise you against re-reading your comment one more time lest you feel compelled to take a machete to your fingers for typing such rubbish.
While we guess our fondness for Gin has turned contagious, sadly our ability to imbibe and still write meaningful sentences has not proven to be equally contagious.

Of all the so-called Democracies, India is the only country where encounters and other forms of extra-judicial killings are the norm than the exception.
Thank God for the “human-rights” morons (your words) you disparage…otherwise one day they’ll come for you too.

“What part of the under-development statistics in the above post is misinformed.”
Perhaps you should read your article first, you did not provide a single direct statistic in your post.
“how the British described Indian freedom fighters in the pre-Independence era. ”
WTF! Whats next calling SIMI and other jehadist groups as freedom fighters?
Perhaps while I search for the meaning of a Quisling, you should lookup the meaning of a moron.
“..it’s that India has failed to develop, what you describe as, the under-privileged regions. ”
Another totalitarian statement. Perhaps you did not realize that after Independence a majority of the Indian states were bankrupt. You should check some statistics about development of the many states (or perhaps while drinking gin you always look at the empty half).
“Of all the so-called Democracies, India is the only country where encounters and other forms of extra-judicial killings are the norm than the exception.”
What a joke to claim India is the only nation. Perhaps you should read the publishings of Amnesty International for once.
While true human rights activists are needed, a lot of the so-called “human rights” morons in Dantewada and other riff raff are involved for a reason other than charity.

1. The Moron of the Day post was a companion piece to the main Why India Cries Out for a Million Dantewadas post that has a whole host of World Bank social statistics, a lot of it relevant to the rural hinterlands. It was clear, or should have been made clear, that the earlier piece was the main post, which was even highlighted in the related content. To make that clear, we’ve just now hyperlinked Maoist Freedom Fighters (above) to the earlier main story on Dantewada.
2. We consider SIMI and Jehadists to have a clear religious taint and ipso facto whackos operating with the insane goal of turning India into an Islamic nation. They are no more than traitors and ought to be treated as such.
The Maoists, on the other hand, are our own people fighting basically on the plank of decades-long gross injustice to a large chunk of our people by the Indian state.
3. We won’t even deign to refute your feeble attempt at justifying your previous folly about India demonstrating resilience in developing under privileged regions. There would not be this large a violent outbreak covering so wide a swathe of territory and extending over multiple states if even modest development activity had happened in these rural wastelands.
4. True, there are many nominal democracies but those au courant with events do not consider Zimbabwe, Gambia, Rwanda et al as democracies just as no one in the Cold War era did not consider the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) to be a democracy. India has democratic elements (primarily, the frequent elections) and can make a claim to being a democracy.
That said, it’d have served us better if we’d prefixed ‘large‘ to the word democracies.
Your support for the Maoists is as ignorant as their solution for the problem. Start blindly shooting and the State will do development. Yup the same process which works so well in Africa today or in Russia during the days of Lenin and Stalin.
“Significant traction but not enough traction as to succeed in toppling the state.”
Sure you can explain that to the family of the soldiers who were killed by the militants or the common people in bus bombed by the naxals. the Eye for eye solution is simply put an ineffective and barbaric solution. If your significant traction solution is workable then the LTTE should have transformed northern Sri Lanka into a democratic thriving nation.
“Because the Indian state has been hijacked by vested interests to benefit the few to the detriment of the many.”
Aah to be an armchair critic and criticize the Government for all its failings but sitting outside the country criticizing movies and restaurants, yup that’s contribution back to society.
“India still has high income inequality. The top 20% have grabbed over 45% of the income while the bottom 20% get by with just 8%”
Perhaps you should read Pareto’s principle before selectively quoting World Bank statistics.
While you go happily quoting World Bank’s statistics, perhaps you should learn a bit about the organization –> http://www.whisperedmedia.org/reasons.html

Who says shooting and all the other forms of violence by the Maoists is not working.
Well, it’s certainly got everyone’s attention.
You even have the Indian government inviting them for talks.
History is replete with instances of violence (Assam, Cuba, USSR, U.S. (18th century but not Vietnam) et al) yielding significant results.
2. You write: Sure you can explain that to the family of the soldiers who were killed by the militants or the common people in bus bombed by the naxals. the Eye for eye solution is simply put an ineffective and barbaric solution.
So, who wiped the tears of people in the affected regions all these decades.
3. You write: If your significant traction solution is workable then the LTTE should have transformed northern Sri Lanka into a democratic thriving nation.
LTTE’s late leader Prabhakaran was hardly interested in ushering in democratic norms. That’s why after his death, the movement is now in shambles.

Social statistics cited by the World Bank regarding India is one thing and support for WB/IMF policies is another. There’s often little dispute about the former and considerable disagreement about the latter.
5. If Pareto principle is your defense of the status quo, there’s little scope for further argument.
