What is Maoist philosophy ? by maninder on 18 Feb 2008

Does anyone has any idea what maoist philosophy is, and why and who is behind it's perpetual propogation. Readers who are uptodate should fill in. Is china behind this, or it is a cocktail mixed with poverty and dirty local politicians.

Maoists problem by Ashok on 18 Feb 2008

The East India was totally neglected in the new economic process. So the unemployement is too high compare to other parts of India. The Naxal issue have been in these areas for more than 30 years but it is in low key. So the angry youths joined this moment and created all sorts of trouble. Government should step in and improve the economy of those 5 states.

Maoists by Shihab Mohammed on 18 Feb 2008

I would like to salute the Orissa government for initiating stringent action to eliminate the threats of extremism by so called maoists. Anybody or any group indulging in public nuisance or threatening our national unity and integrity should be strictly dealt with at any cost. They should be eliminated on the spot, no jails, no trails, or any such time consuming unending futile process. Just terminate all such anti social elements on the spot. Issue shoot at sight orders in the affected areas. Hats off to the bravery of our great security forces. Let us be proud of our country. Let us together build a GREAT INDIA.
