  1. If US think-tanks and Universities can come up such profound findings as "Men like women's company", is this one any wonder? Kudos to the much maligned village constable...

  2. True, but when we as a country or a society is not able to find even a road map to a plausible solution to the issues of Naxalism, Maoism and other such movements, it is not a bad idea to let hundred different ideas to come in. Some may be childish; some not practical, but it is only with collective wisdom problems can be defined and solved. That includes all stakeholders, including the 'Village Constable'

  3. Naxalism and Maoism not a problem, it is just the response to the deeper problem of exploitation and inequity. The increasing gap between the splurge and the poverty. The looting of resources to allow intemperate consumeristic pleasures. Who will solve that? Research can anyway only tell you what you already suspect but this statement of US body is not a researched judgement, it is their view of a people that they do not want to understand. Do we?

  4. While Mr. Hardy has got the crux of the problem that the ultimate cause is critical the response once it has surfaced may not be sorted out if some headway is made to sort poverty. It acquires its own momentum and like the good old pendulam swings on. The problem has to be dealt with and soon or the good sorry the average or should I say the 15% will be swept away lock,stock and in the sight of the double barrelled.
    As far as the Americans tanks are concerned if they cannot can the cannable in a report the 15% does not care.

    There she weaves by night and day
    A magic web with colours gay.
    She has heard a whisper say,
    A curse is on her if she stay
    To look down to Camelot.
    She knows not what the curse may be,
    And so she weaveth steadily,
    And little other care hath she,
    The Lady of Shalott

    She left the web, she left the loom,
    She made three paces through the room,
    She saw the water-lily bloom,
    She saw the helmet and the plume,
    She look'd down to Camelot.
    Out flew the web and floated wide;
    The mirror crack'd from side to side;
    "The curse is come upon me," cried
    The Lady of Shalott.


    The economic loom of consumerism? The curse of the dispossessed? Kennedy,Nehru,Rajiv,Rahul,,,the Camelot?
    Mirror of the society?

  7. Well! Naxalism and Maoism are not the problems exploitation and inequity are.So right but then there is the violence. Violence of exploitation results in the violence of the revolution. Perhaps yes but. Why but? The magic of ideologies!Solutions satisfying action in face of exploitation. No freezing there,no surrender,instead action. No empty words, no soft centre,no fudging,no shame no guilt,no inaction. Bravery,anger,liberation, end of chains. Yes,yes,yes. Answers clean from the end of the barrel of the gun. The cleansing fire shall liberate, the true faith,no death only redemption,paradise of a just classless society shall emerge.From the ashes shall arise the new birds of peace columbas(pigeons) representing the new 'holy spitite'.Why do I feel tired? Is this output of a spent bull? No music here,no bird trilling,only smell.
