Can Maoist terrorists...
is more Gandhian than any Gandhian. even in sah Mage. Before burning a police vehicle, ii's stripped down, the parts cannibalised." Of course, people who know the pressure exerted by Maoist terrorists on social activists doing humanitarian work in remote tribal areas, would ridicule this description even if it comes from an acclaimed author.
For, when one takes a look at things objectively, one realises that the State is always democratic while the Maoist or ganisation is "undemocratics. Maoist leaders are exploiting the cadres, resorting to financial corruption, and adopting "autocratic, undemocratic sectarian approach". This has been pointed out by ;t Maoist leader himself Sabyasaehi Panda - in his letter to CPI (Maoist) Central Committee. Panda has cited several specific instances widi names of Maoist leaders and exploited cadres, in his letter.
After knowing this, one would not commit the foolish act of equaling the Maoist outlaws with Mahatma Gandhi. What Mahatma Gandhi stood for was peace, non-violence, and satyagraha (democratic protest). And, what the Maoists stand for is unbridled hunger for seizure of power with the gun. The designs of Maoists have been clearly laid out by Mao in his famous quote, "The seizure of power by armed force, the settlement of the issue by war. is the central task and highest form of revolution." In fact, the 'Strategy and Tacticss document of CPI (Maoist) also minces no words when it states, "The Central task of the Indian revolution also is the seizure of political power. To accomplish this Central task, the Indian people will have to be organized in the people's army and will have to wipe out the armed forces of the counter-revolutionary Indian state through war and will have to establish, in its place, their own state - the People's Democratic State and will have to establish their own political authority. The very act of establishment of the state machinery of the people by destroying, through war. the present autocratic state machinery die army, the police, and the bureaucracy of the reactionary ruling classes is the Central task of the People's Democratic Revolution of India."
Do these statements give any hint, whatsoever, of the Maoists believing in democratic manner of protests? Or, do these statements reflect the Gandhian values of peace, non-violence, and satyagraha'.' The plain answer is *NO". But. the intellectuals and scholars do not want to think objectively about the entire issue. They just want to coin new terms to contuse the semiimellectuals, and create for them the mindless herd of raJlyists. Unfortunately, the semi-intellectuals also forget the ground realities and borrow the view-points of pro-Maoist thinkers/supporters. It is from such mindless support that the pro-Maoist thinkers/supporters dare to commit the unpardonable sin of calling the values embodied by 'Father of the Nation' Mahatma Gandhi as 'pious humbugs. It is lime for the so-called intellectuals to prove themselves to be useful to the society at large and work for progress of die nation based on core value of patriotism. It is also time to ask pro-Maoist intellectuals whether die plea of 'human rights' is to be applied only in case of anti-nationals? It is also the time to ask Maoist sympaditsers Can anyone killing the people (cops or civilians) he equated with Gandhi?
