Another
ambush, another round of condemnations, another reprisal will not see the end
of the Naxal menace in our country, the tribal areas of which have become the
hotbeds of secessionist activity. If the country has to see a lasting solution
to these kinds of insurgent attacks, then it has to carry out combing
operations not just in the Naxal infested tribal areas but also in the
varsities known to be the breeding centres for these anti-national ideologies
and activities. Maoists have long before captured many of the vantage positions
in varsities like JNU and media where they continue their hoodwinking and
influencing neutral minds without any check. These positions not only give them
access to many young and fresh minds to be brainwashed, but also provide them
their sustenance from the very state which they want to liquidate. It is these breeding centres which incite
innocent youngsters into fight against the Indian state. It is these breeding
centres which with their contrived tales about our Ithihasas and Puranas,
denigrate Hinduism, as they view it as their prime enemy. They foist tales to
make Goddess Durga as a scheming, fair-skinned, upper-caste woman who seduced
a dark-skinned Dalit Mahishasura into defeat in a concocted festival that was
named Mahishasur Shahadat Divas (Mahishasur Martyrdom Day). The unregistered
union DSU does not only call for an armed rebellion against the Indian State.
It also incites Dalit students for a civil war as much as it provokes the
people of regions affected by Maoist terror. A poster it pasted prominently on the walls of
some JNU hostels in 2015 reads: “Build a militant resistance against the
mounting atrocities on Dalits.”
Maoist sympathizers and recruiters have time and again
participated in programs conducted inside the JNU campus to instigate the
student community to fight against the state. The administration of the
varsities have turned a blind eye to all these kinds of unlawful and
anti-national activities goes to prove our suspicion that this foreign funded
menace has taken deep roots in our society. Many people think that the Maoist
attacks are an uprising of the poor tribal against the rich political class who
exploit them. But it is far from the truth. The poor tribal are forced to take
up arms against the state by the Maoists. Maoists are against any development
happening in the Tribal areas, as they want to stall the progress of our
country. So they goad the villagers that their livelihood is being usurped by
the development projects, but in reality it actually helps them in their
livelihood. They want the tribal people to remain in their present miserable
plight, so that they can continue their anti-national agenda by exploiting
them. When the Maoists ask a villager to join their forces the villager has no
other choice. Millions of tribal who doesn’t want to side with these
anti-nationals have got displaced because of that in the last decade. Not many
are fighting out of their own volition. If they refuse they will either be
displaced or disposed. Fearing this many of the villagers join these Maoist
insurgents. It is led by those who got infected by the Maoist plague in
varsities like JNU. So choking the fountain head of this degenerate ideology is
of utmost importance. All student bodies which identify themselves with the
Maoist ideology should be banned and all the funding from foreign bodies to
these varsities should be scrutinized and banned if needed. Those who eulogize
people like Yakub Memon should be dealt with a stern hand. Along with the
combing operations in the Naxal infested areas, these actions are also to be
initiated to stop this menace from further bleeding our Nation.
