Cures of Naxalism: If the “Shining India” stops its loot of “Desolate Bharat” and leave them to build their own lives according to their own priorities, they have still the ingenuity and resilience to succeed.
To start with if we could prevail upon our government through spreading awareness about the huge plunder of countryside that is going on, it would help immensely. Stories about the brutal force used by the state to suppress the people who have begun to be assertive about not losing their meager possessions without a fight do not see coverage in mainstream media except may be as inconsequential footnotes.
If the “Shining India” stops its loot of “Desolate Bharat” and leave them to build their own lives according to their own priorities, they have still the ingenuity and resilience to succeed. See the story below about mass weddings organized through local efforts at fraction of a cost during this time of distress in Vidarbha, Maharashtra, when such functions are known to drive families into a debt trap and ultimately loss of their ancestral lands. These are the heartening stories that give up hope.
Having said that, I agree that we can & do need to do more than just dissemination of information about this state of affairs. But this do is an urgent task.
Action begins with thought. Action can be thoughtful, thoughtless and pure action devoid of thought. action after proper understanding of the subject behoves people with above average IQ. So let us divide our action into two parts.... one pertaining to understanding and second post understanding.
One has to have tentative, well grounded grasp of the issues involved and a vision of what is desirable. I am satisfied that by now we have 5-6 people interested in doing something. The numbers will go up and sometimes down. That should not be a deterrant.
