The White Ants

We “expend” so much; they “expand”, teasing and challenging the “mature government”.

It’s no longer than 40 years when “the revolutionary opposition” against the system took the form of “Naxalism”, they are a greatest threat to internal security of India. It’s not because they don’t follow the corrupt government or don’t fear the security makers, but because of them the common man is petrified and is feeling insecure even in a democratic, free country; also the money we spent after them and the property destroyed in the confusion can be used in a far better way.

The Naxals have a strong presence in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, West Bengal known as “The Red Corridor” and also in many states. We “expend” so much; they “expand”, teasing and challenging the “mature government”. The recent reports reveal that the number of deaths because of Naxals is far greater than that because of terrorism. That is Naxalism is a greater threat than terrorism. The recent incidents also show their strategy and power on a par with our experienced security system. Though there may not be many Lalgarhs, but there are many “de facto” Largarhs, where they make the rules to be followed.

They may be born because of undevelopment, and corrupt system. The booking of a doon school alumnus, foreign educated recently is the clear indication of the differences. We may wonder when the government has the full control on the boundaries and the industries; how they can get weapons which are newer than what our security personnel have. Their presence in areas which require even the basic infrastructure teaches the government that without development work their presence cannot be destroyed.

In the battle between the Naxals and the government, the innocent people who even don’t mind to get their rights fulfilled lose their life, relatives and ambitions. Even the lack of proper war strategy and the latest weapons provided to our security makers, brings death and leave their families in shock and despair. The government should act responsibly with perfect system with improving its performance in the areas of making the people of those areas feel a sense of belonging to the nation and responsibility.
