Why doesn't "world's largest democracy" (blaaah!) give people who want to get rid of Bharat a democratic choice to become independent?
I mean, Canada had a referendum in Quebec, and Indonesia gave independence to East Timor.
Looks like "largest" democracy has a very small heart.

The rebels are pressing for the creation of a communist state comprising tribal areas in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Bihar and Chhattisgarh.

But the school opened by Brigadier B.K. Ponwar last August is a sign the country is finally waking up to the threat posed by an insurgency which has spread to 15 of the 29 states, and claimed almost 1,000 lives last year. “It is by far the most serious problem India is facing today,” said Ajai Sahni of the Institute for Conflict Management, a New Delhi think tank.
