business of naxalism

Business of naxalism is prospering very well here in Dantewara (southern most district of Chhattisgarh ). Partners in this business are some bureaucrats, politicians, contractors, and industries including PSU’s . All of them are making huge profits. Only losers are the local people (Tribal). Media is pathetic

When I came to bastar, some 15 years back, it was quiet different here. Naxalites were very rare species, deep in the jungles, who has the guts to fight against our non governing governments and police gundas. Government was not much worried about them, not interested in the deep jungles. Naxalites ruled the jungles, huge amount of money was spent(on paper) in the name of development of bastar (dantewara district was a part of bastar).Practically nothing was done and that money was shared by local politicians,bureaucrats,contractors and naxalites. All the government servants(even the teachers and health service staff) enjoyed the presence of naxalites,as it was in their name, they were not attending duty ,doing all the corruptions where ever possible, taking full salary and allowances and enjoying life at their home town or district head quarters doing some business of their own. Naxalites got a fare share of all the black money. Police was sometimes captured by naxalites, treated well for 3-4 days and given a warm farewell, Police reciprocated by treating them good even in jails. Media only reported bastar dashara celebrations. Everything was going very well……

Then the lone psu NMDC started making profit. Profit and incremental profit went on increasing every year. In turn railways and contractors benefited, through them bureaucrats, local politicians and naxalites benefited.

Now the MNC’s got interested in the mineral rich area, inturn govt also got interested (dealing with mnc…. Everybody knows they are Really nice people). They don’t want naxalites to be a partner, very hard to negotiate and don’t want to give up their loot for the nuisance value of naxalites. Govt came to rescue these poor people (mnc’s) by projecting that naxalism as the biggest internal threat, bigger than corruption.

After all it is our government and we have to believe what our government says

Now some comparison (I think we can compare)

Naxalites	Responsible political party
Frequent bandhs	not much here ( not much of bandh value)
No burning of shops, buses or misbehaving with people	No comments (every body knows)
Police can shoot them	police has to facilitate them

Govt is protecting their citizens and groups whom they knew very well like tata, essar etc so they brought in all the security forces to create safe zones for these groups. All these years govt was not interfering in the name of protecting the adivasi culture.

Adivasis -They were sexually abused again and again but never retaliated. They brought vegetables to the market by walking 40 kms and leave the remaining (which they can’t sell) in the market in the evening and walk away. Do you think, these people know who this medha patkar is? (Media report says adivasis protested strongly against medha patkar when she recently came to jagdalpur) non sense. Does anybody think that these people can fight against govt or naxals?

Not to mention our media’s role. At the most they reach up to jagdalpur(100 kms from Dantewara) and report about naxalite activities when something big happens and says that they are reporting from ground zero.Is it really ground zero? reporting from a major town in 19000 Sq kms. Here journalists are business people or black mailers.

Fund flow pattern

Nmdc/Mnc … peripheral development fund… naxalites

Nmdc/Mnc… contractors …. Naxalites

…..

….

Naxalites are getting more money, more arms and becoming stronger day by day

I suggest a better way to fight naxalites

Just freeze the fund flow from nmdc / mnc or stop their working

Raid all the small and big contractors here

Stop smuggling (wood, precious stones, metals etc)

Flush out all the dalals

Frequently change all the bureaucrats

This will dry up the income of naxalites Okey! then what?then do what we are best at -

make this place A SAFE HEAVEN for mnc’s

Hell with the tribals

Beneficiaries are mnc’s, railways, politicians, media, bureaucrats, naxalites, nmdc and contractors

Definite Losers are the TRIBALS.

Nobody has the guts to speak against the naxalites other than people at Raipur (state capital and 400 kms from Dantewara); here every body appeals to the naxalites even if we know that in principle they are challenging our constitution.
