Naxalites experiencing widening support ? I would strongly counter that view.. If you look at Andrha Pradesh, they have been routed from there.. these people survive by the barrel of the gun, and by terrorizing innocent people in far-fetched villages.. if they believe that India can be conquered without democratic processes and purely by military means, what can one say ? If one takes the case of Bengal, the support for these infantiles is coming right from the right-wing Mamta Banerjee and such other anarchist forces.. one can get a sense of the opportunism involved in such tactics..
Of course, a dialogue is welcome.. but we seem to be getting staples from single-agenda anti-CPI(M) lobbies like Sanhati.. ----- Original Message ---- From: Bhaskar Sunkara <bhaskar.sunk...@gmail.com> To: rajeshcher...@yahoo.co.in Sent: Tue, 13 October, 2009 7:42:11 PM Subject: Re: [Marxism] Statement against Government of India’s planned military offensive in adivasi-populated regions I'm generally sympathetic to the CPI-M, but it's important that any analysis of the Naxalites focus on why they are experiencing widening support. Marginalization, corruption, landlordism, caste discrimination and the very painful processes of urbanization and proletarianization. Seems to me that you seem unwilling to do this or engage comrades in substantiative discussion on these topics. Connect more, do more and share more with Yahoo! India Mail.
