“Maoist Movement of India ”
Hostilities Between Need & Demand
The Human beings of our country can be classified in three categories- Needy People, People those who want and People of Demand. ‘Need’ implies the basic necessities whereas ‘Want’ depends on choice factor and ‘Demand’ is a function of price or status. The present Maoist movement in India is a fight between ‘Want-group’ and ‘Demand –group’. ‘Demand-Group’s’ people are materialistic and believe in professionalism. Regrettably, neither materialism nor professionalism considers the emotion of Needy people.
Year-wise increase of Gini-coefficient shows that status quo wealthy people get benefited by various Government policies preferred and applied throughout the decades. Indian civilians hate Maoist-not only because of their recent violence’s but also because most of the Maoist leaders belong to Dalit and Adivasi group. Respecting to an inferior class Dalit or Adivasi leader hurts in the morality of those upper caste’s civilians. But ‘Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards the people whom we personally dislike’. Indian poverty line or poverty threshold value is lower then the International poverty line. Lower threshold value show the smaller number of needy people. Recent Multidimensional Poverty Index measurement of 421 million ‘MPI poor’ of eight Indian states by UNDP shows the truth of this bulkiest constitution holder democratic country. Unfortunately, really aware civic of this bulkiest constitution is least.
No one can oppose that Naxalism is due to existing poverty, underdevelopment, inequality and injustice in the society. Although few people claim that Government is unable to push its development plan in Naxal-infested area due to presence of violence. Here the question is –Why did they not think about these in earlier? Only government is responsible for ecological degradation of these Adivasi lives. Dalits and Adivasis are always neglected throughout the history. They are unable to use natural assets present below their foots. Government has never tried to understand the philosophy of Adavasi or the Adivasism. It’s not possible to understand any problem by reading a report or hearing about it from someone. Maximally you can guess that some one is suffering from hunger but you can not feel properly about that. Understanding and feelings are two different things. To feel about something, someone has to suffer from that. Dramatically, Maoist-infested areas are Adivasi people’s area. In fact there is no any proper leader to represent about their need honestly. Indian Dalits have lost this opportunity for Dr. Ambedkar’s self-admitted biggest blunder at ‘Poona Pact’ on 24th Sepetember, 1932. Soft but dangerous politics of upper caste leader Mohandas K. Gandhi did not want to see any Dalit leader exclusively. Gandhiji managed it by using the united Hindu sentiment and near to death hunger strike. Dalit of India, the most sufferers should not excuse and forget it.
If there is any real Maoist-sympathizer in this country then he may not be a violence-sympathizer. Someone’s empathy towards Maoists is because of their helpless condition generated by politics-affected socio-economic condition for which they have lost respect to life. Due to their displeasure, aggravation, wretchedness, antagonism, abhorrence they have lost their rational decision making power. Maoists are unable to utilize their Emotional Intelligence. They have lost the art of social relationships due to Politicians fake empathy to the society. Maoist movement is the appalled outburst of Dalit and Adivasi Indian people after lots of shed tears and appeal for help and support from the civil and democratic society- for basic human needs. Socio-economic discrimination and inequality related hypertension and impair reasoning are root cause of Maoist’s disgusted emotional health. Otherwise Adivasis and Dalits, the heart of hut don’t know to hurt others. People those who totally disbelieve in the standpoint of Maoist should remember that when a zero-tolerant democratic person blame only Maoist they excuse themselves somehow. Because, violence means the physical or verbal force against anyone, compelling action against someone's will on pain of being hurt.
Sardonically, I can say that Government is a believer of “Determinism” where Politicians are working like various agents of nature. Unfortunately, Maoists start to believe in “Possibilism” and tried to overcome the effects of the nature by human-effort. Now, after lots of violence and debate between these two notorious approaches Indian Government trying to follow the latest approach “Stop and Go Determinism” or “Pragmatic Possibilism”. Government has to pay attention in terms of Development in Naxal-affected underdeveloped areas to continue the Determinism and also to see the ending of this violent Maoist movement.
