How to overcome naxalism

Hi,
I am new to this forum.when i saw ur post on naxalism,i was baffled.almost all of them are think naxalism as the end not the means to acheive that end.and all of them are forgetting one basic fact.there is not a single instance in history where marxism or its militant varient naxalism ever succeded anywhere in th world.and in india too from jharkhand to andhra its going to fail.but the sad part is in the mean time many innocent youths and people and many brave police officers will needlessly die because of the ignorant policies of both the naxalites and the govt.

i beleive that Naxalite violence is misdirected and politically counterproductive because the Maoist groups in India have failed to understand the popular base of democratically elected government and this is the reason why they are organising solitary struggles. The politics of violence in India cannot bring basic changes in society because Indians are committed to the politics of the ballot,whoever imperfect it may be.

arguments favouring revolutionary violence as an instrument of change in authoritarian or absolutist systems of governance are simply, mechanically and uncritically assumed to apply to a democratic polity. The fact is, democracy does offer institutions and instrumentalities of social transformation and, however inefficient these may be in a particular situation, they are ordinarily more effective than the option of directionless and largely randomised violence.

Revolutionaries tend to be impatient with democracy and its institutions, believing that they can, at a stroke, dismantle all the evils of the system - and that this alone is an adequate corrective. This is a perspective that has much in common with the tanto peggio, tanto meglio principle of Italian Fascism that amounted to little more than a visceral rejection of everything that the status quo represented. But when, after over five decades of 'revolutionary' violence, it still has to be conceded that "Telengana fares negatively on all development parameters," . it is time to re-examine, if nothing else, the efficiency and cost-benefit ratio of this method of supposed societal transformation.

A final 'justification' of extreme Left violence also demands attention here. "The violence that we indulge in," declares ramakrishna , the present head of the naxalites, "is only as a counter to the mindless violence perpetrated day in and day out by the state's mercenary forces." The claim merits serious evaluation. It is certainly the case that the agencies of the state do adopt extra-legal methods in the conflict in various theatres of extremism in the country, and the Naxalite affected areas are no exception. While the magnitude and frequency of such actions can hardly be authoritatively documented or confirmed, it is the case that ramakrishnas statement was made in the context of allegations of one such incident, in which three prominent leaders of the PWG were allegedly executed in a 'fake encounter', and of the rash of retaliatory killings by the Naxalites that followed. The question, very clearly, cannot be settled by counting casualties on either side of the conflict, or by seeking to identify the point at which the conflict was initiated, or indeed, as supporters of the government often do, by justifying extra-legal methods in terms of the collapse of all the institutions of civil governance - including the criminal justice system - in a situation of widespread terrorism. The fact, however, that the Naxalites consciously choose the path of violence against the state may, in some measure, impose a moral responsibility on them

Rulers are following fascistic ways to eleminate naxalite movement. Dream of these rulers will not come true.
