Bharat's Maoist insurgency

Posted on 22 July 2009. Tags: Bharat, Maoists, Naxalites

Naxal Maoists control about 40% of the Bharati landmass, where the government has neither the control nor governance. The other side of “shining India” is visiable to all Bharatis and those who live in the affected areas. The Naxalite insurgency has been mentioned by Premier Manmohan Singh as one of the most dangerous insurgencies in Bharat.

In a sea of affluence spreading from Luxemburg to Sydney (with a few aberrations), India is the island of penury that is a millstone for South Asia. Unlike China India has been unable to pull herself from the bootstraps and provide decent living, food and shelter to her citizens. Marketing alone cannot gloss over the poverty striken population of India. Bollywood may be able to hide the Indian slums by filming in Kuala Lumpur but Bollywood cannot hide the dilapidated infrastructure of India cities. By all counts, India is a failed state. India as a world power? Part 1

INTERNAL “INDIAN” CAVATIES: The Naxalites have a force of approximately 15,000 cadres spread across 160 districts in the states of Orissa, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Karnatakaand West Bengal. They operate primarily in the lawless, dense forested areas of India’s interior, with some estimates saying Naxalites control approximately 10.03 million hectares (about 25 million acres) of forests nationwide. They also have an active campaign to recruit students and other youths to help spread their left-wing extremism into India’s towns and cities. Thus far, however, the Naxalites have not demonstrated the ability to operate in urban areas.

The Voltaires of India are quiet, too scared to question the carnage. The mighty Indian media controlled by corporatism has become more obsequious than Pravda or Izvestia. Icons of the press freedom like Tehilka cannot survive amid the tough commercial environment. Bigotry sells

India is like a millstone on South Asia. It has kept all of South Asia in poverty. Now it is beset with humongous problems–the harvest of sowing seeds of destruction in her neighbors. When the tide rises all boats float up. When the tide sinks all boats go down. India is a dead weight on South Asia. In the process all of South Asia is doomed to another century of penury and poverty.

Balkanizing Cracks in “India”: Naxalite insurrection shows severe cavities in India. Why is the press silent about the rebellion in 100 districts of India?–this constitutes about 40% of the country. The swathe of land from Nepal all the way down to Andhara Pradesh is in rebel control. The seven sisters in the Norheast are almost totally out of control of the center which does not seriously challenge the writ of the local leaders.

as is Assaam and Bihar. 250 million Dalits do not feel “Indian”. The 150 million Muslims have been so mistreated that they are in abject generational penury. It will take more than 3 centuries to pull the poverty stricken out of destitute living. The media focuses on “Incredible India”, a figment of the imagination of the West.

India’s Security concerns India a Failed state?

India is behaving a like a pumped up balloon Michelin mascot; pumped by the Americans who need crutches to needle China; pumped up by the British who cannot fight the good war in Afghanistan and expect India to clean up the mess that they have made.

NEW DELHI: Maoist rebels in India are rapidly expanding their insurgency and could move from remote rural areas to cities, a top security official said on Tuesday. The rebels are estimated to have 22,000 fighters, and have spread to more than 180 of the country’s 630 districts from just 56 in 2001, government and independent data says.

‘They have a very comprehensive plan to spread their tentacles into other parts of the country, including urban areas,’ M.L. Kumawat, special secretary (Internal Security) told Reuters in an interview. ‘We now need highly specialised forces to deal with the sophisticated weapons they have. Our police forces will be capable; I cannot say they are capable to deal with them now.’

Equipped with automatic weapons, shoulder rocket launchers, mines and explosives, the Maoists want to cripple economic activity. Last year they carried out at least 1,000 attacks, but most of these were in remote jungles and villages. The Maoists, who say they are fighting for the rights of the poor and landless, control some of India’s mineral-rich areas and operate in large swathes of the eastern, central and southern countryside.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described the Maoist rebellion as one of the gravest security threats to India. The Maoists have killed police and politicians, and targeted government buildings and railway tracks in an insurgency that has killed thousands since the 1960s.

But some recent attacks have been carried out closer to cities, and one such attack in Nayagarh, just 87 km (54 miles) from the state capital of mineral-rich Orissa, showed that they were moving closer. Similar attacks have taken place in towns in West Bengal state.

Kumawat said interrogation of Maoist leaders, recently arrested from cities like Bangalore and the state of Haryana, revealed their urban plans. ‘Right now they may not be violent in these areas, but their presence cannot be ruled out … the Naxal [Maoists] problem is not confined to one or two states anymore.’

They are also in touch with other militant groups operating in Kashmir and the northeast, Kumawat said. ‘They are supporting other extremist groups in Jammu and Kashmir, and have linkages with northeastern militant groups.’ Kumawat, who is also the chief of the Border Security Force (BSF), India’s main frontier guarding agency, said 1.7 billion dollars would be spent over the next five years to increase deployments along Pakistan and Bangladesh borders and modernise the force. ‘After all there are training camps of many militant groups across the border and we have to strengthen our force.’ — Reuters

The British Indian Empire included the regions of present-day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, and, in addition, at various times, Aden (from 1839 to 1937), Lower Burma (from 1852) and Upper Burma (from 1886) until 1937, British Somaliland (briefly from 1884 to 1898), and the Straits Settlements (briefly from 1819 to 1867). The British Indian Empire had some ties with British possessions in the Middle East; the Indian rupee served as the currency in many parts of that region. What is now Iraq was, immediately after World War I, administered by the India Office of the British government. The British Indian Empire is said to have begun in May 1858 when the British exiled Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar II to Rangoon in then independent Konbaung Burma after executing most of his family, thus formally liquidating the Mughal Empire. At the same time, the British abolished the British East India Company and replaced it with direct rule under the British Crown. In proclaiming the new direct-rule policy to “the Princes, Chiefs, and Peoples of India”..

The Viceroy of India announced in 1858 that the government would honour former treaties with princely states and renounced the “Doctrine of Lapse”, whereby the East India Company had annexed territories of rulers who died without male heirs. About 40 percent of Indian territory and 20-25 percent of the population remained under the control of 562 princes

In August 1858 the British Parliament abolished the English East India Company and transferred the company’s responsibilities to the British crown. This launched a period of direct rule in India, ending the fiction of company rule as an agent of the Mughal emperor (who was tried for treason and exiled to Burma). In November 1858, in her proclamation to the “Princes, Chiefs, and Peoples of India,” Queen Victoria pledged to preserve the rule of Indian princes in return for loyalty to the crown. More than 560 such enclaves, taking in one-fourth of India’s area and one-fifth of its people, were preserved until Indian independence in 1947.

India started out as more than 500 states.

More than 40% Of Bharat, that is about 100 districts in “India” face the Maoist Naxalite insurrection that has gone much beyond the seven sisters.

This is the Pakistan that was demanded.

These are imperial British maps of the Subcontinent during different time periods. Notice that “India was very different, based on the era or time. French “India” included Vietnam, Cambodia and Loas. Dutch “India” included Indonesia, Danish “India” was different than British “India.”

The British Indian Empire, informally, the British Raj (r?j, lit. “rule” in Hindi) or simply British India, internationally and contemporaneously, India, was the term used synonymously for the region, the rule, and the period, from 1858 to 1947, of the British British Empire on the Indian subcontinent. The region included areas of British India directly administered by the United Kingdom (contemporaneously, “British India”) as well as the princely states ruled by individual rulers under the paramountcy of the British Crown. The princely states, which had all entered into treaty arrangements with the British Crown, were allowed a degree of local autonomy in exchange for protection and representation in international affairs by Great Britain.
