What when it is one of us ?

Well i am not a marketing student, but have studied some of it for two sems :)
And what i had learned was that the title should be catchy, and that's why i wrote the title as "What when it is one of us ?"

Well recently i have been reading a lot about the naxal activities throughout India, whether it be Bihar, Dantewada, Andhra Pradesh.
Politicians and bureaucrats have been involved in the debate whether military power should be used against the Naxalites.

Most of you won't be interested by now in this blog, but i would insist that please read on , because it is written by one of you.

Well i know that most of the young bloods like you and me would strongly support the use of military power against the naxals, because we are the young aggressive generation of this country. We get inspired from what US did to Iraq, what Sri Lanka did with LTTE.

But for a moment try to step into the shoes of those men who will have to go to fight against those naxals into a completely unknown territory where naxals have the proficiency in fighting the Gueriila war.

To some of you i would like to remind that something similar was tried by US in vietnam, and they faced perhaps the only defeat in their history of wars.

Imagine that your father or may be your brother is being posted in that area, to fight against the naxals. You sitting at home and watching the new all the, to be updated what happening there.
Your brother calls you up and says today was a lucky day, we made a narrow escape from the landmine blast. Would you still tell him, that bro we are proud of you, please fight for the country, and make us proud.

Or you will tell him to get himself transferred as soon as possible so that you can do away with the fear of loosing him.

I dont know how you would be feeling about me, but i am telling you that this is the exact feeling that the families of hundreds of militarymen who hold their guns, to fight for the nation.
Imagine an Indian killing an Indian.

I am not absolutely against the use of military power against the naxals, but will that be a permanent solution. Can anybody guarantee that there would be no more naxals taking birth on Indian Soil, Let me remind you that nobody borns as a naxalite, it is the situation that forces him to be the one.

So if we need to change something, we must change the way the are living, what they suffer everyday.

If you are one of those who likes some action, i would support you too, if you really wanna kill someone, kill those who are misleading people and making them naxals, because naxals have actually forgot that what was the motive with which the naxalites forces were made.

Sometimes i feel that Ganhi had rightly said, the Non-Violence is the biggest weapon to win the hearts, which in turn leads to winning the wars.

But being a guy from this modern india, i would say dont believe in this blindly, because if you stay quiet, people may take you for granted.

I would end this blog with many questions in you mind, you may be confused, because it's high time that we make an opinion of ours.

  1. Dude nice post... but i feel what u are saying is right to an extent...
    It is the situation which makes a person naxalite or in fact a terrorist. The root problem are leaders who are misleading the people there but i feel that these naxalities shud not let be loose, they have to be curbed. For that the government is thinking about a two sword of military use together with a development of that area.
    See poverty is the main cause so if there is development in that area the problem is automatically addressed but for that too happen we might have to take harsh steps ..... after all for the proper growth of children sometimes beating from the parents is must....

  2. Aseem, I totally agree wid u on the point that military rule can never be a solution 2 end naxalite..Naxals were not created wid the motive to terrorize people..it was initially formed to work for the developement of under developed areas which are not gaining the attention of Govt..bt nw with changing times, meaning of naxals have changed..

    what I feel is needed the developement of their needs..

    btw, nice post, thought provoking!!
