It may surprise many, but the are of highest concern is not Kashmir, but the rising tide of communalism, Anti-Christian, Anti-Dalit, and Anti-Muslim. The Naxalite insurrection led by Dalits and Maoists that comprises more than 40% of the landmass of the country.Three major groups – Maoist Communist Centre, People’s War Group and CPI (ML) – have merged to form a united outfit called CPI (Maoist). It affirmed: The revolution will be carried out and completed through armed agrarian revolutionary war; that is, protracted people’s war with the armed seizure of power remaining as its central and principal task, encircling the cities from the countryside and thereby finally capturing them.” 

Kashmir was concerned as the biggest threat to the country’s unity but in recent years, many in New Delhi thought that they had swollowed Srinagar. Kashmir is in fever pitch. This year’s insrurrection caught them by sruprise. the Divide between Jammu and Kashmir now is irrerable and even the puppet Farooq Abdullah who sold his soul to Delhi for a few Dollars and a title, says “Kashmir will go on a platter to Pakistan.” Paper Tigers: Indian tenuous “hold” on Kashmir is slipping fast

The third are of security conern for New Delhi is open rebellion in the Northeast. These insurections do not make it to the daily headlines on CNN, but the fact is the New Delhi has very little control of Assam and the seven sisters that lie East of Bangadesh. Even Chinese occupied territory mislabeled “Aranchal Pradesh” has a huge body of rebels that want nothing to do with Delhi.

Communalism is a big threat to the so called “secular” country. Brahmans in Jammu in 2008 led a boycott of Kashmir forcing the Kashmiris to strive to trade directly with Pakistan. Church burning in Orissa are problem exacerbated by the sepratists who strive for freedom from Delhi. The Gujarits Hinduvata massacred 3000 Muslims and hundreds of thousands are scared to goback to their homes.

The land of Gandhi, the secular state is falling apart. 

For the insurrection in Kashmir, New Delhi blames Pakistan. For the insurrction in the seven sisters, New Delhi blames Bangladesh. For the Naxalite insurrection, Delhi blames China. Bad priorities and an inflated ego keeps Dlehi in perpetual war (and border disputes) with all her neighbors, China, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Maldives, and Pakistan. India is spending $3 Billion on an Aircraft carrier, and $126 Billion on purchase of fighter aricraft–while low tech weopens used by the Naxalites are keeping the Indian army at bay. Stones and slogans keep 800,000 Indian soldiers occupied in Kashmir. So much for the “largest democracy” in the world. Behold a “demcoracy” where more than 60% of the country is in the hands of the rebels.

40% of the Indian land mass is not in the hands of the Central governement, but in the hands of Naxalites.

India intelligence: “‘the aim of RAW is to keep internal disturbances flaring up and the ISI preoccupied so that Pakistan can lend no worthwhile resistance to Indian designs in the region.”

 BBC on August 30 quoted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as saying that “the Maoist insurgency is the single biggest threat to India’s security.” Chief of Indian Army Gen Joginder sharing the concern of the Prime Minister had said, “Indian Army is keeping a close watch on Maoist rebels operating in the country’s eastern, central and southern states,” in the wake of rising attacks and violence that posed a serious security threat.

INDIA’S SECURITY CONCERNS
The Indian Home Ministry published a report on August 29 raising security concern of the region. The report identified ISI (Inter Services Intelligence) of Pakistan as the biggest security threat to India. India’s frustrated NSA blusters… “Destroy the ISI”

However, communal problem remains endemic in India. Apart from Kashmir where Muslims are subjected to persecution, communal violence frequently flares up in different states when the minority communities are butchered shaking the very roots of secular India. Orissa is the latest example where scores of Christians have been killed since communal violence erupted on August 23. Tens of thousands fled homes and 45,000 Christian schools closed across India.

Christian homes are being torched as well after being pillaged; villages are coming under siege and schools are attacked. For many people nearby forests are the only place of safety but they lack food and shelter. Hindu groups torched a good number of Churches inciting street protests from Christian community.
The Reuters reported last week that Hindu mobs destroyed more than a dozen churches and attacked Christians in eastern Orissa state after the murder of a Hindu leader in Kandhamal district, a tribal area where Christian missionaries have been active for years.

A Catholic daily published from New Delhi reported on September 1, “Tens of thousands of Christians persecuted by Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal fled homes for fear of lives. Some 45,000 Christian schools and most of the Churches were closed. A priest from Bhuvenswar dashed to New Delhi and pleaded in vain with the President and the Prime Minister to stop the carnage. “For 8 days killing of Christians and torching their homes continued …We will have no option but to raise Suraksha Vahini (militia force) for our security,” the priest told the newsmen. He declined to give his name saying he is under threat of life by VHP cadres.
The Indian Home Ministry report, believed to be based on intelligence gathered by its agencies, should raise serious security concern for not India alone but all the countries of the region. “Terror groups backed by Pakistan’s ISI spy agency could use chemical, biological, nuclear or radiological weapons against India, initiating a form of ‘super terrorism’, the report said.

It said ISI has been expanding its networks in India from Jammu and Kashmir to down south. “Active terror modules are mushrooming in Bihar, Assam and West Bengal where the sleeper cells have been assigned with specific targets.”The report cautions that ISI moles may also use aircraft, buses or other means which are commonly available to cause heavy casualties. “Various insurgent groups active in Bangladesh are under the shadow control of ISI … South India too is an important part of the overall ISI game-plan since it is being targeted to recruit unemployed youths,” added the report.
Mr Jagmohan, a former governor of Jammu & Kashmir and former union minister gave a resume of the rapid growth of Maoist raising security threat to India. He wrote under the heading ‘Maoist movement has entered a stronger phase’ (February 2, 2008),

While the Maoists have carried out spectacular attacks and did disrupt polls to some extent, they were not fully successful in effecting a boycott. Voter turnout in the constituencies worst hit by Maoist violence was a respectable 50%.

Maoist influence runs through a stretch of territory referred to as the “Red Corridor”. This extends from the Telangana region in Andhra Pradesh through Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand up to Bihar. Areas in western Orissa and eastern Uttar Pradesh are also under Maoist influence. And they have some presence in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka as well.

The area where the Maoists operate has grown dramatically in recent years. In the early 1990s the number of districts affected by varying degrees of Maoist violence stood at just 15 in four states. This rose to 55 districts in nine states by the end of 2003 and to 156 districts in 13 states in 2004. Maoists are believed to be operating now in around 200 districts (of a total of 602 districts in the country) in 17 states.

Government officials point out that these statistics and the name Red Corridor have conjured up images of Maoists being in control of a large swathe of land and posing a threat to the Indian state…

…The Maoists have also been blowing up power lines and service towers. In May 2007, they blew up three 132 KVA high-tension towers in the Bastar region, plunging six districts into darkness for a week and disrupting normal power distribution for a fortnight. “Functioning of hospitals, communication systems and rail traffic, besides iron ore mines was badly affected,” Ramana points out. In June of last year, two 220 KVA towers were blasted depriving 15,000 villages of electricity.

Maoists have displayed their military capability through their high-profile attacks on railways and other infrastructure. They have been able to inflict losses running into millions of dollars on the state they are seeking to overthrow. Maoists rule India’s ‘Red Corridor’
By Sudha Ramachandran April 2009.

Three major groups – Maoist Communist Centre, People’s War Group and CPI (ML) – have merged to form a united outfit called CPI (Maoist). It affirmed: The revolution will be carried out and completed through armed agrarian revolutionary war; that is, protracted people’s war with the armed seizure of power remaining as its central and principal task, encircling the cities from the countryside and thereby finally capturing them.”  Red Nepal: Clear and present danger to India

CPI (Maoist) declared, “It supports the struggle of the sub-nationalities for self-determination, including the right to secession.”The concern of security threat has redoubled in India following the Maoist election victory in next door neighbour Nepal. Former Foreign Minister Mr Jaswant Singh on June 2 cautioned: Indian Maoists of the red-corridor are known to have close contacts with Nepalese Maoist. A collusion of the Maoist of the two countries would pose greater security threat to India.” Which is more perilous: Communalism or Maoism? Shamsuddin Ahmed: Which poses the greatest security threat to India? Maoism, Pakistan’s secret agency ISI or communalism?
The Indian Institute of Conflict Management reports that Maoists have gain grounds in 192 districts of 16 States. They are well organized and more active in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Chattisgarh states.
At least 12 police officers were killed early this week in mine blasts planted by the Maoists rebels in a remote area of Jharkhand.

Meanwhile, communal strife has posed no less a threat to the security of India. Protracted independence struggle in Kashmir has led to the persecution of Muslims. Communal violence, frequent across the country, has shaken the very basis of secular India. The 2002 pogrom of Gujarat is still fresh in many Indian minds. More than 2000 Muslims were killed, women raped, homes and shops plundered inviting condemnation from across the world.
Vishwa Hindu Parishad and its militant wing Bajrang Dal preaching Hinduata have posed threat to life and property of the minorities. The latest example is Orissa where scores of Christians have been killed since August 23.     http://www.weeklyholiday.net/front.html#01
