Police claim finding MP: Indian Maoists kidnap legislator, kill three troops
Saturday, Dhul-Qi’dah 26, 1430

PATNA: Indian Maoists briefly kidnapped a state legislator and were suspected of triggering a blast that killed three troopers in separate incidents, police in eastern India said on Friday.

Ram Chandra Singh, a lawmaker in Jharkhand state from the regional opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal party, and an aide were snatched late on Thursday in a district that is a hotbed of the insurgency.

“A police team has found Ram Chandra Singh and his assistant,” Jharkhand police chief VD Ram told AFP by phone, without giving further details.

“A combing operation is on in the area where Singh was kidnapped,” he added.

The kidnapping came ahead of polls in Jharkhand later this month to elect a provincial government.

Meanwhile, three paramilitary troopers including two officers, were killed on Friday when their van drove over a landmine planted on a road in the neighbouring eastern state of Orissa, local police superintendent Satyabrata Bhoi said.

The attack took place 610 kilometres south of the state capital Bhubaneswar.

“The van was followed by more vehicles carrying security personnel to crucial destinations. The blast was unfortunate and could be due to a lack of proper intelligence,” Bhoi told AFP by phone.

The convoy was transporting troops ahead of the start of a concerted assault on the Maoist rebels’ jungle bases in the so-called “red corridor” that stretches across more than half a dozen states in eastern India, a police source said.

The security operation, planned by the federal government, is tipped to start this month.

The Maoist movement started as a peasant uprising in 1967 but has now spread to 20 of India’s 29 states. Its cadre strength has been variously estimated at between 10,000 and 20,000.

The main rebel groups operate out of jungle bases in the so-called “red corridor” that stretches across more than half a dozen states in eastern India. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has termed Maoist insurgency “the biggest internal threat” facing the country. afp

Re: Hindustan descending into civil war: New York

PakDragon - you’re posting stuff about China? what happened, you gave up your national identity and embraced sweet uncle mao?

No worries, I’ll show you the Pakistani good stuff; if you’re in a hurry skip to 1:04.

Or I could show you your surrender to terrorists recently - here is a BBC link:
BBC NEWS | South Asia | Pakistan crisis ‘hits army morale’

"The Pakistani Taleban, ostensibly belonging to the group led by Baitullah Mahsud, persuaded the troops to surrender without firing a single shot. The group comprised more than a dozen mid-ranking officers, including a colonel.

The militants then split the soldiers into groups and took them into the high mountains as hostages - much as the Afghan Taleban did six weeks earlier near Ghazni to a group of 23 South Koreans who were subsequently freed."

Or I could give you some Kargil video / reading material etc. let me know

Rebels blow up train in India
Wednesday, Dhul-Hijjah 1, 1430

GUWAHATI: Suspected separatists blew up a fuel-laden train in India’s restive northeast, causing a giant inferno that took 12 hours to control, police said Tuesday.

A police spokesperson said the train of 48 wagons travelling from the Numaligarh Refinery caught fire late Monday in the state of Assam about 270 kilometres from state capital Guwahati. “It was initially thought the fire broke out after the train jumped rails. But now we believe it was due to a powerful explosion on the rail track as we managed to recover wires and other materials used in triggering blasts from the site,” a senior Assam police official said, requesting not to be named. The official said the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) was the main suspect in the explosion which occurred near Changpool in Golaghat district. afp

Indian attack on Maoists troubles European aid body
Saturday, Dhul-Hijjah 4, 1430

NEW DELHI: India’s plans to launch a major offensive against Maoist rebels in the country’s heartlands could jeopardise much-needed humanitarian operations in the impoverished area, the European Commission has warned.

Government officials have signalled that an assault against insurgents is imminent in the central state of Chhattisgarh — the epicentre of violence between Maoist fighters, security forces and pro-government militias since 2005. The Maoist violence — estimated to have caused 600 to 700 deaths annually and the displacement 100,000 civilians — has spread to 182 of India’s 602 districts and has been declared as the country’s single biggest internal security threat.

But the European Commission humanitarian aid department (ECHO), which has been funding relief assistance for thousands of villagers caught up in the violence since 2007, said it was concerned that its work would be at risk if fighting intensified. “It can become too dangerous because of on-going fighting for our partners to access and reach out to the villages,” Maria Joao Ralha, ECHO’s desk officer for India, told Reuters by phone from Brussels. “It can also limit access as parties involved in the conflict may become too nervous and may not want humanitarians working there so villagers would not be able to receive the healthcare that our partners are providing them,” she said late on Thursday. Over the last two years, the ECHO has provided 1.5 million euros ($2.2 million) to foreign aid agencies to carry out primary healthcare activities in the under-developed, mineral rich state. reuters

Two killed as Maoists derail train in Jharkhand
Saturday, Dhul-Hijjah 4, 1430

RANCHI/LAHORE: Suspected Maoist rebels derailed a passenger train in eastern India, killing two people and injuring more than 40, police said on Friday.

Two bodies had been found in an overturned carriage in the state of Jharkhand, and 48 people were injured, state police chief VD Ram told AFP from the state capital Ranchi. “Maoists attacked and blew up the tracks between stations late Thursday night,” said Ram, adding that dozens more could still be trapped in coaches.

The train was travelling from the eastern state of Chhattisgarh to Jharkhand when eight of its 10 coaches derailed in the southeast of the state after guerrillas detonated bombs in front of the engine, said Ram.

The attack, as well as another bombing at a mine in southern Jharkhand on Friday, came ahead of polls in the state later this month. Terming the train attack a “cowardly act”, Union Home Secretary GK Pillai said Maoists were terrorists and he had no sympathy for them. “There is no difference between terrorists and Maoists. They are making railway stations, trains, mobile towers and schools soft targets. They also held up a train in West Bengal. I have no sympathy for them,” The Indian Express quoted Pillai as saying said after a meeting with senior Orissa government officials in Bhubaneswar. afp/daily times monitor

2 bomb blasts leave 7 dead, 52 wounded in IndiaMonday, Dhul-Hijjah 6, 1430

GAUHATI: Suspected militants set off two bombs outside a police station in India’s restive northeast on Sunday, killing seven people and wounding more than 50, police said.

Five people died instantly after two blasts went off within minutes of each other outside the station in Nalbari town near the Assam state capital, Gauhati, a local police official said. Two people died later in a hospital, he said. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said what officials had earlier reported was a third bomb in a market a few miles away, turned out to be a firecracker. At least 52 people were wounded in the two blasts, said Bhaskar Mahanta, Assam’s inspector general of police.

India’s northeast is beset by scores of conflicts. More than 10,000 people have died in separatist violence over the past decade. The region is home to dozens of separatist groups that accuse the government of exploiting the area’s natural resources while doing little for the indigenous people.

ULFA: The bombers had parked two bicycles fitted with carriers packed with explosives outside the Nalbari police station, which is located in a congested part of the town, Mahanta said. These went off, killing passers-by and wounding the others. Police said the separatist United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) was behind the blasts, but a senior rebel leader telephoned local newspaper offices and television stations to deny its involvement. The blasts came soon after New Delhi announced the government will provide safe passage to top rebel leaders willing to talk and find a lasting solution to the decades old insurgency in the state. agencies

Speaking of Indian call centers, where employees are forced to change their names to "Jim" and "Fred" from down the street, while taking American accent training (LOL), only proves how much they are hated by their clients. I don't blame them. Their service sucks.

72

These people in call centers work to get paid. Unlike your country men who put a gun to their own head and threaten self destruction and chaos if they are not paid billions by the west.

A new year gift from History!
73

"Work" to get paid..... That is debatable. If "Jim" and "Fred" were actually doing their job, they wouldn't be hated so much by the very people who pay them. The only reason their clients deal with them is because they are cheap. Then again, you get what you pay for. Pay a low price for low standards. Economic power, my #$#$.

1) Stop trying to be someone you're not. cough cough American cough cough*. I know it's what you strive for, but you won't ever be accepted as such.
2) Cut out the American accent training, and stop changing your names. Americans may be stupid, but not that stupid.
3) Stop hiring people who talk a million miles per hour. It's hard enough to understand Indians when they talk English in normal speed.

India...what a joke.

74

What is debatable ???? The only reason they are still able to operate is becuase they are able to provide the service in a cost effective manner. Otherswise they would have shut down a long time back ..... this is a private enterprise and not some aid packaged scheme. There are cheaper places in the world who can provide this service .... even Pakistan IT compaies are trying to sell themselves as a chaper option than India .... what happened to that .... we don't see BPO's lining up in Pakistan.
