It just beats me: why are maoists fighting leftists? Are they not on the same left side? Maoists are christian terror groups. And christians have a long history of inter-conflict between denominations. Is the maoist leftist fight a fight between two christian denominations? Nice speculation, but you never know.

I have never been to the north-east. But, if what I have gathered from news reports is correct, the cause of all problems is the influx of Bangladeshis into the north-east. People who have been living there for centuries, have been outnumbered, and their land alienated. CPM has been encouraging influx of Bangladeshis, to create a vote bank. Ultimately thie Frankenstein Monster is going to swallow them.

Help resolve Lalgarh crisis
Social unrest is known to manifest itself as problems of law and order. But the reverse can also be true: sometimes, politically inspired violence seeks the cover of socio-economic grievances. Maoist outlaws who went on the rampage in the Lalgarh area of West Midnapore district of West Bengal, carrying out murderous attacks on workers of the ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist) and destroying their houses and party offices, were looking to settle political scores in t he guise of protesting ‘police atrocities.’

A shocking failure of security
.. there is an urgent need to go beyond law and order concerns and place the State's endemic caste and class violence in a larger socio-economic context. The uprising in the naxal belt of Bihar is a product of the social unrest engendered by decades of upper caste dominance. Stories of bonded labour suffering hardship at the hands of the land-owning upper castes are legion. The advent of the naxalites led to the birth of the warlike Ranvir Sena, a caste army raised by the Bhumihars to decimate the Maoists' support base. Needless to say, the Sena's primary targets were the poor and landless Dalits, who, in turn, looked to the naxals for protection and support. That the Maoists were able to mobilise thousands of their cadre for the jailbreak operation speaks to the extent of their support. It is vital that security is restored in Jehanabad at the earliest. It is equally important that administrators begin to address the long-neglected problems of the people.
