Naxalism n All That !!!

So what according to you has made the Headlines in the last month or so in your Morning Newspapers or Evening News Flicks... Is it IPL Drama or The Lalit Modi Tweet... Is it UPA One Year in Office or the Horrific Air Tragedy in Mangalore... Chances are neither any of that not Even Vishy Anand's Historic Feat would have captured your attention so much as much as the Dantewada Massacre and the Latest Killing of 150 odd people in the Train Accident allegedly purported by Maoist.


By no means I do support horrific killing and the Naxal Violence but it is critical to note why does this happens and what is the root cause... Farmers forcefully getting deprived of their arable land for stupid Industrialisation Process, Local Police and Security Forces acting as goons and raping villagers and tribals, No Job opportunities for Locals and Economic Disparity are some of the common reasons. You can add to that Local Level Political Links with Maoists but what exactly is the root cause of Naxalism and why are they doing this off so suddenly.


Naxal Violence in India is about 40 year old and its main concern is exploitation of poor by rich in the country. The governments have done nothing to lessen exploitations in these 40 years but to solve the problem, have labeled these people as terrorists to satisfy themselves as performers. These armed personnel working against the state are called 'terrorists' by the state while they call themselves as 'revolutionaries'. They are revolutionaries or terrorists matters little in the light of what is the net result and what is the cause thereof.


Exploitation of one human-being by another is inhuman, particularly when the exploited is weak and helpless. Before independence, Indian masses were exploited by the British rulers to serve their ends and the Indian psyche was tuned to that exploitation. Later, under diametrically opposite leaderships of Gandhi and Bose, freedom struggle came to be successful winning India her precious freedom. People expected end of their exploitation by rulers of the country.


The Problem started when none of the two survived to take the mantle of free India. Nehru took over reins of power and shared it with pro-British princely families of the British period, thus nullifying gains of freedom to the country. In the so-called democratic elections, votes of the poor masses are purchased, and in return they are being deprived of even basic health-care, education, justice, and other facilities of humane living. Their hard-earned livelihood money is siphoned back to accounts of ruling politicians through a highly corrupt bureaucracy to keep them poor and illiterate for ever. But still there is a change in spectrum of exploiters.


In British India, British government exploited India as a whole for wealth through landlords appointed by the government. In turn, the landlords exploited the poor masses to serve their interests along with those of the British government. Thus, the number of exploiters of the masses was hardly 1 percent of the total population who lead lavish lifestyles. In free India, ruling politicians share their power of exploitation of the masses with government employees. Thus, politicians and administrators make a formidable team of exploiters of the masses. This population of exploiters make about 15 percent of the total population of the country. This is the root cause of discontentment of masses. As a result, 85 percent of country's wealth has reached in hands of 15 percent population of India. Classic Pareto for sure but I am not too sure whether this is good or not. Since this population of exploiters has evolved from the masses itself, average lifestyle of the people is improved, giving an impression that India is making economic progress after freedom.


India has been a slave country for about 2,000 years making Indian psyche submissive to oppressions. This has been preventing a bloody mass-revolution of French Revolution type, while condition of masses in India today is much worse than that in France at the time of bloody revolution. But all are not of that submissive nature and a few dare to raise their voices and arms against the exploitation. This is genesis of Naxalite movement of India.


The Famous Chalta Hain Attitude and Submissive Nature is the root cause of the most of the ills plaguing Indian Society. Individuals should rise above "Their Own Good" and should start looking for "Common Good". Individuals Should voice their opinions on matters of national interest more than the Friday Blockbuster or the Last Night Cricket Match and make themselves heard at every possible forum. And more importantly, perhaps critically important that not only you vote next time but also make people near you vote in elections.


Trust Me it helps !!! It Surely Does !!!

... Anand Hi Anand !!!

Far away from the IPL Razzmatazz and T20 WC in West Indies... Away from Chelsea's Double Triumph in Premier League and FA Cup n Jose's Clinical Finish in Champions League there was an Indian doing all he could to raise the Tricolor as high as it could...

Viswanathan Anand showed tremendous character in winning his fourth world chess crown in a decade. The 40-year-old Indian genius won the most intense battle of his career against Bulgarian challenger Veselin Topalov in Sofia, significantly scoring his edge-of-the-seat victory with black pieces in the 12th and final game of the championship match. This sealed Anand's place in chess history — as the greatest non-Russian champion, after the legendary Bobby Fischer, ever to play the game. For one whose three previous world titles came in different formats, Tuesday's triumph only reinforced the belief that his universal style of play remains the most effective against opponents of different temperament and approach. In a glittering international career spanning more than two decades, Anand has evolved from a bright, talented boy to a battle-scarred veteran who can quickly adapt himself to any challenge and challengers. If his maiden world title in 2000 took the monkey off his back after he destroyed Spain's Alexei Shirov in one of the shortest title-clashes, the triumph in a classy eight-man field in 2007 underlined his determination to end a seven-year wait and regain the title.

The purists, mostly from the erstwhile Soviet Union, believed that the true sign of a world chess champion was his ability to win a title match, comprising a stipulated number of games. In 2008, Anand won their admiration by beating a previously unbeaten Russian, Vladimir Kramnik, with a game to spare.

Anand's latest triumph should rate a notch higher considering the challenges he had to overcome on and off the board before and during the match. Stranded at the Frankfurt airport following the cancellation of flights after volcanic ash descended over Europe, he travelled 40 hours by road to reach Sofia. After the schedule of games was pushed back merely by a day, he was off to the worst possible start, losing the opener rather listlessly. The setback steeled his resolve; he hit back in the second game and took the lead after a majestic victory in the fourth. Thereafter, both players had their chances in turn but it was Topalov who managed to capitalise on the champion's late error in the eighth game to draw level. Anand could have taken the lead again but missed a winning continuation in the drawn-out ninth game. After two more closely fought draws, the challenger pressed a little too hard with white pieces in the final game and the champion was quick to make him pay. As is his wont, Anand valued the “relief” of keeping the title more than the €1.2 million that came with it. A true world champion who has made it completely on his own, he is the pride of India.

Thanks to Anand ... Chess today is India fastest growing sport and is easily catching the attention of kids. But more importantly has ridiculed the argument that Sports ( Cricket aside) cannot prosper without government support and corporate sponsorship. It is worth noting that if you the talent and the hunger and the zeal to succeed nobody simply nobody can get you down...

Vishwanathan Anand just made that possible for all of us in his very own way !!!
