Question: Is the Indian governent betting on the wrong horse? Should the Indian government not pay more attention the its almost unsolveable internal problems rather then pointing fingers at its neigbours??
Maoist rebels kill 24 police in eastern India
CALCUTTA, India – A stunning attack by Maoist rebels that killed at least 24 police officers in a remote camp in eastern India was an outrageous challenge to the state and exposed the insurgents’ brutal thirst for power, a top Indian official said Tuesday.
The brazen assault Monday — the deadliest rebel attack on police in West Bengal state — came amid a new government crackdown on the Maoists, who are active in 20 of India’s 28 states.
More than 100 guerrillas attacked the security outpost, detonating land mines, setting the facility ablaze, killing two dozen police and stealing weapons, said district magistrate N.S. Nigam.
“Every attack of this kind exposes the true nature and character of the (Maoists),” Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said in a statement. “Their goal is to seize power. Their weapon is violence. No organization or group in a democratic republic has the right to take to violence to overpower the established legal authority.”
The attack took place in Shilda village, about 105 miles (170 kilometers) southwest of state capital, Calcutta.
A total of 51 police officers were in the camp at the time and many remained missing, the Press Trust of India news agency said.
“Never before the police here have suffered so many losses in one attack,” Surajit Kar Purkayastha, a police inspector-general, told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Nigam said the camp was close to a bustling market, and the rebels struck when a large number of people were shopping in the area.
Kishenji, a top Maoist leader in the area, claimed responsibility for the attack in a call to a local television station. He said it was in retaliation for a recent security crackdown against the rebels.
Police reinforcements scoured the area Tuesday for the assailants who fled after the assault, Nigam said.
Inspired by Chinese revolutionary leader Mao Zedong, the rebels have fought for more than four decades demanding land and jobs for farmers and the poor.
In the past few months the Indian government has cracked down on the outlawed rebels, saying it was ready to discuss all their demands but only if they gave up violence.
About 2,000 people — including police, militants and civilians — have been killed in violence over the past few years. The rebels are also known as Naxals or Naxalites, after Naxalbari, the village in West Bengal state where their movement was born in 1967.

Since September 21, 2004 the Maoist party is making like hell for Indian government
so far there is no sign that the problem will be solved mate. So don't be so presumptious.
Maoists will be history the moment govt stops treating them as a vote bank and deploys army to curb the violence. There can be no negotiations with thugs and murderers.

Maoism is as a result of massive neglect of the poor masses by the currupt governance.
One one hand, Govt. is giving free land and subsidies to all the MNC of the world and on the other hand hundreds of farmers are commiting suicides coz they cannot pay loans worth of $300 to $500. Corporate greed and the utter ruthless curruption of the indian babus has resulted in massive resentment among 70% of India. This social unrest feeds maoism. They do not trust any policy of the govt.
On top of that India media, does not cover the stories of 70% India, they are busy with bollywood bull**** and cricket. The reason is very simple, coporate houses that exploit the resources of India, that run the very same media.
Indian media should learn something from the pakistani media. Indian news channels arey worried about the TRPs and rankings and award. They turn blind eye towards the 70% of India. Pakistani media is way ahead in those lines.
At the same time, maoist are no saints either, they have lost their way. Attacks on state police will not result in anything. They will be wiped out soon, if they continue the same.
Lowest dinominator of the society does not even see the money that is allocated for them on papers. I wish Indian media focusses more on the 70% india, rather than rakhi sawant.

why you keep your mouth shut for that?
that's not true. Even if it is to be so speculated, Pakistanis are not qualified to so speculate, given their country's history of delibrate and government sanctioned genocide.

Pak Fauj and Bharati Sena both have blood on their hands.
There is no point in pointing fingers at someone elses army, when Pak fauj has killed more muslims than Bharati Sena. There is no army in the world that does not have innocent blood on their hands be it Chinese, Russian or US. So please stop comparing.
it is not my concern to enlighten anyone....history is the proof....south india was never in favor of remaining in the indian state....today south indians are more patriotic...
lal denga of mizoram...is a real hero who fought against india and ultimately declared his patriotism in favor of india and was cremated with full state honor....
sikh problem....love numero uno of pak govt in 80s....now the pak state has totally forgotte of its faliures in indian punjab....this problem resolved in three months after it disturbed peace for 17 years...sikhs are as usual the most patriotic community....
kashmir issue will be resolved....off course religion is problem in that sector....
and the maoists....it will take only 3 months....we have to see when there will be a start......
i am not writting for people who are a dead stock against democratic values....
