Indians should learn to read the news... This has been tried in Pakistan..
But apparently, despite your claims to the contrary, the Maoists still seem to be around...

Around 100 armed Naxals attacked the police outpost and a nearby rest house at Padia, about 70 km from here, nearly razed the two buildings to the ground using machinery they had forcibly taken from a road construction site, the sources said.
According to the sources, at around 1 am the rebels woke up the bulldozer operator at the construction site and forced him at gunpoint to use the machine to bring down the buildings.
They also set ablaze the battery room of a BSNL tower and beat up the watchman and another person when they protested, the sources said.
Malkangiri SP Satyabrata Bhoi has confirmed the incident.
After destroying the building, the ultras put up posters in the area asking people to boycott the ensuing polls.

Polls near, Maoists back in action
Bhubaneswar: With elections to the State assembly as well the Lok Sabha less than a month away, the Maoists are becoming active in Orissa. Over the past 24 hours, the Left wing extremists have murdered a former BJP leader in Malkangiri and blown up three forest range offices in the Simlipal tiger reserve of Mayurbhanj district.
On Saturday night, the Maoists stopped Nanda Kumar Kartami, a former chairman of Malkangiri Zilla Parishad, as he was riding a motorbike to his village in Padia block of Malkangiri. Kartami, who recently resigned from the BJP, was shot dead by the Maoists at Sikapali village, about 15 km away from the district headquarters. Sources said Kartami had been asked to meet the rebels at a secluded place.
His body could only be identified this morning, said Malkangiri SP Satyabrat Bhoi. Kartami received bullet injuries on his forehead; two bullets were also found lying near the body. The Maoists also set Kartami’s motorcycle on fire. Maoists had recently put up posters at several locations in Malkangiri urging people not to participate in the elections.
In the second Naxal attack, Maoists blew up three forest range offices and set ablaze two vehicles in Similipal Tiger reserve on Saturday. Mayurbhanj SP P S Ranpise said more than 25 armed Maoists, including five women, swooped down on the range offices at Barahakamuda, Chahala and Dhuduruchampa in different core areas of the forest reserve in a synchronised attack at around 1 am. Using powerful explosives, the Maoists razed to ground the range offices, Field Director of Simlipal Tiger Reserve A Nagaraj Reddy said.
Police said the Maoists first asked the 20-odd tourists at Chahala, an old hunting lodge which has been converted into a tourist accommodation unit, to vacate their rooms. The rebels then planted explosives inside the range office and blew it up. The rebels looted VHF sets and rifles of the forest officials.
Police officials said none of the tourist or forest officials have been harmed. However, the Maoists looted jewellery, mobile phones and cash from the tourists. Two Government vehicles were also set afire.
“The Maoists were speaking in Oriya and seemed to be locals. They seemed to have come using a jungle track through Jhadpokhria,” said Ranpise, adding that incessant rain inside the tiger reserve was making it difficult for the police to reach the spot. This is the first attack by Maoists on a tourist spot like Similipal.

Maoists blow up cellphone towers in Orissa

MALKANGIRI (Orissa): Maoist ultras blew up two signal towers of a mobile phone in Orissa’s Malkangiri district, police said on Saturday.
The towers were destroyed by the ultras using explosives at Kangrukunda and MPV-22 under Kalimela police station, about 30 km from here yesterday.
Large quantities of cables kept near the structure were also set ablaze by the Maoists, they said adding that the ultras are against spread of telephone in the region as it facilitates sharing information with the police.
The Maoists feel that telephones, including mobile ones, enable police informers to pass on information about the movement and activities of the ultras, sources said.
Malkangiri Superintendent of Police Satyabrata Bhoi said though the police were yet to receive any formal complaint about the incident, it was aware of the attack and necessary steps were being taken.

Maoists’ steal Rs 99 L from SBI vehicle - Bhubaneswar - Cities - The Times of India
Maoists’ steal Rs 99 L from SBI vehicle
5 Apr 2009, 0610 hrs IST, TNN
KORAPUT: Suspected Maoists on Saturday looted Rs 99 lakh from a vehicle transporting cash from State Bank of India’s (SBI) Malkangiri branch to the Chitrakonda, about 60 km away. The vehicle, which was accompanied by two armed guards and a bank official, had covered around 40 km when its path was obstructed by large boulders.
Suddenly a group of 20 armed Maoists, including eight women, surrounded the vehicle and assaulted the guards. The extremists punctured the vehicle’s wheels before snatching the guards’ weapons and the iron box containing the cash. The incident came to light in the evening when the bank official lodged a complaint with Chitrakonda police.
“Though the official claimed that the vehicle was attacked by Maoists, but we are looking into other angles also. As the incident took place during the day and on the main road, the possibility of foul play can’t be ruled out. Investigation is on and the bank officials are being interrogated,” sub-divisional police officer (Malkangiri) Anup Kumar Sahu said. The latest incident followed the Maoists attacking a mobile tower in MV 22 village on Thursday night. The latest action has thrown a challenge to the security personnel, prior to the election, engaged in anti-Naxalite operation in Maoist-hit Malkangiri.
Maoists blow up school in Lohardaga - Ranchi - Cities - The Times of India
6 Apr 2009, 0407 hrs IST, Uttam Mukherjee, TNN
LOHARDAGA: About 40 members of the CPI(Maoist) blew up the Project High at Makka village in the district in the wee hours of Sunday under the leadership of their sub-zonal commander Sanjay Yadav.
^^ The reason why Maoism is not yet eliminated from India is because, they have a very strong political backing in the form of Communist Party of India.....mind you, CPI is a ruling party in two states(i.e. West Bengal and Kerala), although they "officially" declare no support for Maoism, it's understood that CPI and Marxist cadres provide administartive support to Maoism.
Even, for negotiation with Nepal Maoists, Pranab Mukharji asked CPI head Yechuri and Karat duo to visit Nepal.
For a layman who has not been in India, I would say he can understand Indian Maoism by comparing them with Pakistan's sunni Wahhabis.
Same like those wahhabi nutjobs who think that they are more arabized than arabs themselves and hence more pious and ideological superior, Indian Maosist too are stuck in failed ideology of Communism and Maoism and think that they are more communist than original Chinese themselves.
Only solution is, when people of west bengal and kerala slowly see this and never vote CPI again, which has a vice like grip on these states as well most of the India's left leaning media and universities.
Eventually, when more progressive political parties like BJP and Congress are voted in power in West Bengal, we will see Maosim will die it's natural death like fake Sikh separatism in Punjab.
Maoists kill four guards of power plant firm
Ranchi (IANS): Maoist rebels have killed four security guards of a proposed power plant of the Abhijeet group in Jharkhand’s Latehar district, police said on Monday.
Around 20-25 guerrillas of the outlawed Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) raided the proposed power plant situated in Chakla village in Latehar, some 140 km from Ranchi, at around 11.30 p.m. on Sunday and opened fire on the security guards posted there, a police official said.
Three guards died on the spot and one died on the way to hospital. One injured guard has been referred to the Rajendra Institute of Medical Science here for treatment.
According to informed sources, Maoist rebels had demanded a levy of Rs.2 million from the company. The Abhijeet group had apparently refused to pay the amount and guerrillas had even beaten up security guards of the firm a month ago.
“We had sought security from the police informing them about the levy demand. The temporary police picket situated near the proposed site was also withdrawn after the Lok Sabha elections were announced. The withdrawal of the police picket encouraged Maoist rebels to attack the company,” an official of Abhijeet group told IANS.
Police have launched operations to nab the rebels involved in the incident.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) condemned the attack and demanded the removal of Governor Syed Sibte Razi. "During President’s Rule, such incidents are taking place in the state one after another. The central government should recall the governor to ensure free and fair election in the state,"said state BJP president Raghubar Das.
Maoists blast dynamite in Bihar school
Aurangabad (PTI): Suspected Maoists blasted dynamite on early Monday in a state-run school at Ketaki village in Bihar’s Aurangabad district.
The police said more than 150 Maoist guerrilas raided the school and triggered dynamite blasts to blow up the school building.
But the school building was not damaged as the explosion was not powerful, sources said.
They took away a generator of the school before police reached the spot, sources said.
The ongoing school attacks by Maoists have been an attempt to foil administration’s bid to house Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and other para-military forces in schools for deployment in Maoist-hit areas during Lok Sabha polls, police said.
Maoists have blasted two school buildings in Jamui and Gaya districts in Bihar recently.

Maoists continue attacks ahead of LS polls in Bihar - India - The Times of India
GAYA/AURANGABAD: In what appears to be an attempt to demoralize security forces in the run up to the parliamentary polls, Maoists carried out two attacks on government and private installations in Bihar’s Gaya and Aurangabad districts in the past 24 hours.
In Gaya, the Maoist blew up a schiool building-cum-cluster centre at Baluar village under the Banke Bazar police station, about 4 km from the venue of CM Nitish Kumar’s election meeting scheduled to take place in the neighbouring Raniganj village, on Wednesday. The blast took place only a few hours before CM Nitish Kumar’s scheduled visit in the afternoon.
This is for the second time within the last 72 hours that the extremists have caused explosion in the area where CM Nitish Kumar’s election meet was scheduled. Earlier, the Maoists blew up a school building and cluster centre in the Barachatti police station area in a similar fashion.
According to reports reaching the district headquarters, the Maoists numbering about 100 ransacked the two-storey government school building, took away the school computer along with all the accessories and blew up the building and the adjoining resource centre using can bombs in the operation.
