Development of the poor and violent ends of democracy

The heart of India is burning with the sounds of violent clash of forces representing India's democratic government and tribes (co termed naxals) as opposed to present form of governance is becoming louder. The lack of 'development' efforts and exploitation by the government machinery including the forest and police department have resulted in a series of distrust and violent activities directed at the protesting villagers of central India.

The violent end of democracy is promoted by government agencies towards the anti-governmental forces inclined to rootout the protesters, their families and villages has been going on since last three decades. The present operation 'Green' Hunt, is directed towards the 'Red' ideologies in central India including forested areas of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhyapradesh, Chattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Jharkand, Bihar and Souther Uttar Pradesh. The people had been alineated not only from their resources but also left to fend for themselves is an outcome of the modern path of development adopted in independent India. The planners, administrators and intellectuals had delibrately avoided their plight in order to safeguard their position for seeking the state support for their pursuits.

The placement of people against the people by democratically elected government led to plunder and loot in region associated with violent clashes and killings. The government backed armed forces is presently engaged to flush out the people residing in 60,000 Sq. km of area and having more than 10,000 villages indirectly administered by the extreme left ideologies. This taking over of governence has continued since 1960s and now suddenly GoI through open armed conflict has waged a war against their own citizens.

Its fear and failure of government which has further aggrevied the situation in region. There result -instead of getting harsh promises of development, the people are happy take charge of situation themselves. Whether we can say, this is an violent end of democracy in central India? Perish or agree, for the people and in central India more violence would be reported in coming days. What would come next is spread of more facts and information about the peoples movement and struggle in rest of India, which would claim further life of government agenda in central India.
