dear sir,whether you call it Gunda force' or by some other name you prefer, these spaecil police officers are the creation of any war like situation where collateral damage is a reality. It happened in Punjab when the arrogance of khalisthan militancy was at it pinnacle. In Chattisgarh the situation is extremely grim. My Tamil friends may not be able to perceive what is actually going on in deep interiors of southern chhattisgarh in general and Dantewada and Bijapur areas in particular. In any parlance, they can be compared with any part of the disturbed area anywhere in the world where human casualties have become routine affairs. I do not want to get more into maoist ideology and its applicability in the present situation. Any Indian citizen morally obliged to understand what naxalism is and why it is prevalent in India. But if you have any idea about the method of unleashing violence by the maoists will make you feel repugnant. you will not find any difference between hardcore terrorism and naxalism. fine. Apex court is not comfortable with Salwa Judum as it feels that those innocent tribals are made cannon fodder' by the state apparatus. Let us suppose it is disbanded what next? disarm them and ask them to go their villages. I bet you not a single SPO will be left alive by the maoits. This will force the state to recruit them into their regular police force after waiving the standard eligibility criterion to 5 th standard or even less. Because, Chhattisgarh government can not afford to lose these boys for two reasons. one- they are assets as they they forests paths of jungle and can guide central and state forces during naxal operations. second they can not allow them to be murdered after disbanding them. Recently, 76 CRPF personnel were killed by the maoists. ( Tamil friends may ask who these CRPF people are. During election they might have seen some hindi speaking jawans. If some body knows a bit about central forces particularly CRPF they will even hesitate to give their daughters to them in marriage ). Those jawans did not share any enmity with naxals; they were also treated like cannon fodder. No human right organisation ever never shared their enlightened sympathy for the lose of those jawans. Highly decorated iconoclast madam Arundhathi kept political silence. She must have been very happy I think.See do not infer conclusions by sitting in chennai office that people are murdered. You have every right to criticize the government for their inability to contain what they must have done long ago. But it no way mandates the naxals to kill central forces who do not know about the terrain they operate. I am selective of central forces as their casualty is increasing beyond any known standard in counter insurgency operations in the world. The present can not bear the burden of past. If everything is wrong with the state like mortgaging mining ares to MNCs, dwindling natural resources etc should be brought to intellectual platform for discussion with popular intervention. Your mocking tone does not seem to address the actual issue but encourages maoists and other people alike to continue their violent agenda. Whether it is maoists or police forces, violence against each other is not accepted in a democracy. you please write a letter to naxals too to disarm their weapons. It will be a great service.
