Maoism in India |
|
Dear Friends,
I am happy to inform you that my book on Maoism was globally launched by my publisher Routledge (London) on 20th November. Following is a synopsis of the book.
Maoism in India Reincarnation of Ultra-Left Wing Extremism in the Twenty-First Century
By Bidyut Chakrabarty, Rajat Kumar Kujur
The rise of Maoism as one of the organized political movement in India is the outcome of a historical situation. Both colonialism and the failure of the Indian state to implement land reforms more stringently in the aftermath of independence resulted in terrible sufferings of the marginalized, land- dependent, sections of society.
Through historical analysis, this book assesses the ideological articulation of the contemporary ultra-left movement in India, including Maoism which is expanding gradually in India. The author provides answers to the following issues: Is Maoism reflective of the growing disenchantment of the people in the affected areas with the state? Is it a comment on `the distorted development planning' pursued by the Indian state? Is this an outcome of the processes of `deepening of democracy' in India? Using Orissa as a case study, the book raises questions on India's development strategy. The author argues that Maoism provides critical inputs for an alternative paradigm for development, relevant for `transitional societies' and that it is a still a powerful ideology for the poorer parts of the world although its ideological appeal has declined internationally.

Naxalism would only way go if we start asking the question, ''what little bit I can do to contribute here.'' As long as common man keep passing blame on police, govt. it wont go. Naxalism is a very deep rooted cancer, directly related to growth of rural areas.
Only way growth is possible if people living in city start visiting rural areas alteast once a year. Take police help if you need. go during day time only. Talk to locals in loving, respectful way, share their pain. Try to train them on how jobs are created and maintained in city. By movement of products and services.
By serving human needs. Its simple they dont need MBA to do it. Once it get in their head that only themselve can do something about it. Govt can't. Then they would start growing. Then Naxal can't brainwash them. Naxalism would disappear on its own. Biggest strengnth of naxals are misguided villaers.
And only educated class of india can fix that. Otherwise with gun and police it wont go, since they know better how to use gun.
