The naxal movement thrives on the economic inequalities in our soceity. The root cause of which can be tracked straight to our corrupt governments formed by any party thus far.
The government since independence has spent more than 750 billion dollars on social programs and typically that has lined into the pockets of our politicians.
The naxal movement itself is corrupt prying on fear of the deprived, extortion and violence. But who is going to bell the cat and provide the people with a government that cares for its people genuinely and "executes" corruption free schemes

Patrick you are justifying naxalism,which not good for the society.Many of Indians who were zamindars during british rule9zamindars made by british)lost their land and homes by the law brought by Indira gandhi.Todays rich are mostly from post independence era,specially people born in the 70's.Nothing should make anybody naxal,certainly not curruption should be the reason for naxalism.The problem is some where else,which you are not understanding.There are so many things unanswered like 1)how naxals get their funds ?isnt it by radding and black mailing the poor and rich from a particular area. 2)who provided them arms and ammunation,isnt the terroroist group involved. 3)Arent the naxals involved in currupt parallel government ?When some of us are comming to conclusion thatnaxalism is reaction to curruption !! 4) is their a religious motive to naxalism ?

R Patil,
I am not justifying naxals. I do beleive they are morally corrupt and depend on a form of soceity(utopian socialism) that has proven to be a disaster worldwide. The word corrupt encompases all the symptoms of a communist government you have in bullet points up there
But, if you are serious about solving a problem you have to look at potential causes and either reduce or remove such causes. Importantly, I hope the government does not choose to look at it as a law and order problem. There is a serious economic discrepancy and a glaring governmental failure.
