For me it was all about a revolution and irony is that , I read about it in the most unlikely place...in Forbes India Oct-9,09 issue....the story of peace keeper, Gulshan Bamra.
Gulshan Bamra, an IAS Officer who was the district collector of Balghat (Naxalite Red Zone)..a place which was synonymous for underdeveopment...poverty..caste and what not... all powerful forms of breeding grounds for a revolution for the Maoists....
Naxalites may not be a market force who looks towards the oppurtunity to exploit the backwardness..Rather I feel they are born out of the negligence of state and its administration towards improvement in the basic amenities of human population for whom "INDIA" is a foreign state , from which they have to claim independence and dignity...
But..Gulshan Bamra showed the state the necessity of tackling root cause of the problem rather than going for a fruit cause analysis ( where u attack the symptom and not the problem...) of branding Naxalites as terrorists..and starting military operations against them..
Pls dont misunderstand...i am not advocating for a violent class struggle to which the Maoists are into..they should be refrained from enacting that..
I would like to look the problem as a child psychologist...Children needs attention...When they are not getting it through one way..they will try another...Look at Non-violent Narmada Bachao Aandolan (NBA)..Nobody thinks that the struggle got the attention it should have got..Because after GANDHI, non-violence is only a luxury terminology for us who likes to dispose it inside the glass windows any GANDHI Museum...
When voices are not heard non-violently,they will be left with little options but to raise red flags and KALASHNIKOVs' along with it....
Coming Back to Gulshan, he did what is needed.. under NREGA he developed rural infrastructure ..gave Balghatians jobs...theryby helped them to recalim their lives
In the end,i feel Gulshan Bamra had shown India the way..The way its state administrators has to follow to make the underprevilaged Indian foreigners claim independence over poverty..caste..etc..etc and make them "INDIANS..."
Or otherwise you and me will be seeing Red patches in then Greenly forests in exlusives of News channels.....
