'Naxalism' The movement which started from a small village of Naxalbari in Darjeeling in West Bengal in mid 60's has now spread its roots widely(nearly half of India). Naxalis call their movement as a social revolution. Government on the other hand place them besides terrorists. Is it a revolution or is it a terrorism? No, it is reaction. A reaction movement started by suppressed peoples but now has taken a form of terrorism. From thousands of years majority of Indians were constantly suppressed by the so called upper caste peoples. The reaction to that suppression has taken the form of naxalism. But it is the worst form of reaction. It does not have ideologies. And the movement without ideology is already dead. It seems that the whole focus of naxalis have shifted towards violence only. Naxalism has become a kind of social disease now. Our state of Chattisgarh is suffering from this disease. And the BJP led govt. in the state has the most absurd kind of remedy in their bag. 'SALWA JUDUM'. This so called salwa judum took lives of many poor and innocent tribals in the name of war against naxalism. Former chief minister of the state Mr. Ajit Jogi was a visionary man. He tried to solve the problem from its roots by initiating many social and economic reform programmes in naxal affected districts. Unfortunately he is not in office anymore. And those who are in office now a days are in the state of complete dilemma regarding naxal problem.
