It is indeed shocking that Adv. Radharao Gracias refers to the violent
Maoists as saviors to the underclass. As a student in IIT Kharagpur I
witnessed the violence that Maoists are capable of and to refer to
Maoists as saviors is nothing but naive. While a student at Chowgulle
College I remember an Economics teacher aptly remark that Marxism and
Communism thrive where there are empty stomachs and emptier heads. The
problem with Naxal infested areas is that there is lot of poverty caused
by wrong headed ideology followed by people in those areas.
Interestingly these poverty generating ideas were inspired by H. J Lasky
from Oxford University, England and imported to India by well to do
Bengalis and Keralites who were wealthy enough to afford a British
Education. The reason Naxal violence has mushroomed in the last few
years is that the central Government has not taken a firm stand against
Naxalite violence. Consider the recent example when Tata Motors wanted
to set up a plant in W Bengal. Due to the violence of the W Bengal
populace the Nano plant had to be shifted to Gujarat thus ensuring
greater prosperity in Gujarat and greater poverty in W Bengal.
