The following comment is on the Article written in the link above.The truth is that the whole Police and Armed Forces action plan under execution by Sri P. Chidambaram / Govt of India is to force Adivasis to surrender their land in the name of development for industrialists. On the surface , the opposition by Adivasi groups and organisations is made visible to gullible people as a Naxal menace. This is incorrect. Also that Naxals violence is limited to whoever comes or acts as their enemy like the Police forces, Police informers, corrupt officers and non working contractors and officers and other groups acting ang taking extortion money on their (Naxal's) behalf. Sometime they seem to act , like in Rajdhani hold up case, to expose the fallacy of existence of the Governance for the poor, dalits and adivasis. They are the beneficiaries of the corruption existing in the Govt. system because only 10-15% reaches the site of work. No body has got to go far away in search of corruption. Look at the Jharkhand Ministers and Officers facing CBI enquiries. The Nation State converted into Corporate State has only two things to do. Allow corruption to reach higher and higher levels and block all courts of justices in hearing bail petitions for the corrupt. Violance by the State is much more unjustified as it is enormous in comparision to the violence by the Naxals. Their violence is from a weaker position(Majboor) than that of the Govt. (Majboot). If the Corporate interest is not supreme before the present Govt. the well meaning people could have got the Govt and Naxal representatives the Table for talk. But the Corporate State does not seem to desire such an end because negotiations do not permit them to take all the cakes and eat it too. The Govt at this stage must own responsibility for such an inequality as to convert ordinary poor mass of people to Naxals.
