Al Jazeera Correspondent - India's silent war

[hoopy2929]

people gotta stop living in the stone age, would solve a lot of problems

[njenjesmith]

OMG IS THIS IN INDIA? How come I have never heatd about this in our free and independent media?. I only hear about himan rights abuses in china. Seems how media is really biased, since the attrocities committed here is far worst than those in china. Hmmmm

[iamsiddharthajain]

Thanks to al jazzera for revealing real truth from naxal infested area. Its duty of indian govt to provide basic amenities to this adivasi people in any circumstances

[TheUncrowned1]

Al - Jazeera, is fair media covering taking interest in every part of the world , Thank You , move on and go in detail Silent War of India, because Politicians have made India a MOney generating machine, and having cheap labor country constantly out ruling the poors,adivasis,the sub-urb population

[TheUncrowned1]

Al-Jazeera , hopefully Riz Khan invite some Policy Makers from India, and should make a hardcore eye to eye interview with them , insist them for fair explanation in this regard. Riz Khan you are the man for these JOB

[TheUncrowned1]

/ Gandhi's the whole idea of freedom and human rights are totally in contradiction with their action of the Indian Military and policy makers of India.. Its all Business and economic growth what abt the growth and well being of a domestic settlers and a average citizen regardless of his cast nor religion.

[TheUncrowned1]

The commander comments are absurd and need real explanation Large number of people need help it seems. Common sense MAOIST is reason for invading the traditional settlers lands for mineral and the business organization easily obtain cheap man power for their nearest mining sides by bullying or taking advantages on their poverty

[TheUncrowned1]

Very sad large democratic nation , fast moving economy, committing genocide activity and Indian Military are the real terrorist . Ungrateful for their own countryman whom really are the settlers of the Golden Land ..... Wish the NGOs take these into serious consideration and human rights at stake.

[amithbn]

Thanks for the wonderful documentary!

[inder19852000]

Indian Police is not even protecting the middle-class in India. Then how come poor Adivasis?

[alienkishorekumar]

Must change!

[GUSSTASS]

isn't it amazing how western powers dont expose and exploit countries like India, China, etc, about issues on humanity but commercially continue to trade and keep money flowing.

I suppose its a way of culling the population and controling growth.

well done Al Jahzeer.

[XXXFreeSpirit]

Corporations control the Indian government. Corporate greed fucked up the tribals.

[Harshamostwanted1]

But it is not easy to get clear and good message from the govt in a sooner it is because the ego and anger they have against them! Govt lost many police, money infrastructure in war with maoists so having that much of heart to forgive the people who supported the maoists and give them goodies!! In democratic capitalist country no one cares about poor and help less because helping them won't yield much profit! Sad but true

[Harshamostwanted1]

Sadly the govt aim is the killing of maoists or left wing extremism than to sort out the problems of the tribal people! By depriving the tribals how can they expect them not to believe maoists? Govt should give a clear and good message to tribals that they will be helped and they won't be deprived and allocate new homes better standard of living then they should aim at de mantalising the Maoism!

[hrnboi]

Thanks AJE for an insightful report. I really feel sorry for these folks as they are getting screwed from both ends.

[MegaVonpaulus]

When people talk about throwing out the govt and re establishing a righteous state, almost always the result is destruction and violence.

Terrorism has never brought on a just government. French revolution resulted in dictatorship of Napoleon, Russian revolution lead to Stalin and Afghan fight against USSR lead to Taliban.

If any of these Maoist sympathizers have any illusion about what this movement is going to bring then it is time to wake up. It will be death and destruction nothing more.

[Kryptonian250]

Look at those Indian cops acting like rabid animals.

[yashfr]

Excellent piece of truth by this reporter. What are our India Journalists doing!!!!! I guess busy with bollywood gupshups and licking the A*** of corrupt shameless and arrogant politicians. This are our own people who are suffering who should be taken care of. Shame on our government and on all of us for electing such politicians on top positions as Government. Jai Hind

[Stormsabre]

It is abundantly clear from this documentary that the Maoist movement of India has degraded in to thuggery and terrorism. What this documentary failed to show is the absolute violence and torture unleashed by these Maoist on people and police (they are human too)

The only possible response to terrorism is counter-terrorism, which invariably has its own problems. But it is essential to fight these terrorists. Calling them rebels or fighters or revolutionaries would be an insult to real rebels.

[Stormsabre]

These people are junk of India....they need to be eliminated. Stronger and better off people should have more rights...Might makes it right

[topgun39]

@Stormsabre "Stronger and better off people should have more rights...Might makes it right"?!!! were your parents siblings or something? just get the fuck out of here and watch your nascar games you twat!

[MegaVonpaulus]

@topgun39 Yeah dude, agree or not isn't that the truth. give me one example in history where that did not happen

[cray0308]

i look forward to aljazeera investigating human rights abuses in Islamic republic of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain.

[Stormsabre]

@cray0308 You wish. Try making a documentary in the middle east or china and mr. Imran will disappear for ever

[rohitkumarindia]

@cray0308

iran also

[athiest97]

@cray0308 Visit their documentary section and you will find all of them. from south america to the middle east, from asia to america. UNBIASED NEWS FOR THE FIRST TIME!

[athiest97]

@cray0308 you don't have to look forward. Al jazeera already has programs that talk about women's rights in saudi arabia, human right abuses in syria, bahrain. More than a dozen talk shows on democracy in the middle east!

[forgottenmemories63]

@cray0308 Actually, It does. Al Jazeera is a non biased News Channel that reports everything from all parts of the world. I'm an Indian and I think it's important for a Media to be Honest and report News from all parts of the world with equal criticism and no bias.

On the other hand, If you look at channels like Russia Times or BBC, They are totally Biased that rarely report anything negative on their own Nations or their Allies.

[hrnboi]

@cray0308 As mentioned by others, there are plenty of power abuse reports by AJE on countries in Arab World.

[rammy2442]

@cray0308 i m from delhi.....and i totally feel ashamed and dishearten by ur statement.....

[amazonsongs]

@cray0308 and pakistan, syria, libya. they just want to project everything out of context and when it comes to islamic countries they just forget it their side which is killing not their own but others too. at least here indians are not calling jihad on west and others.

[willythewildwino]

@cray0308 that will probably happen about the same time that RT News investigates human rights abuses by the Russian government, or Fox News does an unbiased piece on the failure of the War on Drugs.

[sriviz01]

A very balanced reporting! However, I am sure, this is not just happening in India. Every mineral rich place on our earth goes through the same! It is sad that people who watched 'Avatar' spoke at length about the 3D effects or the Computer Graphics and not about the plundering of the earth by the corporates! That is how we look at things...Good job Imran!

[tenz123]

A super nonsense.. that guy is a classical indian gunda.. heheh

[tenz123]

indian boobs at 37:48

[TheRealBoyardee]

@tenz123 Thx 4 the heads up.

[MrArnabkura]

Another propaganda by Aljazeera

[slayyyyn]

army shud b deployed against maoists.

[4500jas]

Stalinist terror and state terror, Indians are brutally oppressed. Maoism is a populist form of Stalinism and is extremely cultish. The Stalinist countries of the USSR, Cuba, Vietnam, North Korea, etc all are oppressive and "Social Fascist". The masses must take power themselves not their "self-proclaimed" representatives.

[Daideepya]

this is shameful indian congress government , i till not forget 4th june attack by delhi police at peaceful protest... soon ramdev baba will throw this corrupt government,

[Daideepya]

indian government controlled by corrupt congress govt...

[indiensolidaritet]

That movie are so full of lies. Aljazeera is nowadays a tool of US foreign policy.

Please spare us this cheap zandwich theory mivies, The ‘theory’, if we may call it that, holds that the Adivasis and rural poor are caught in the crossfire between armed Maoist ‘terrorists’ on the one side and a militarised Indian state on the other.

The people have allways rebelled against their opressors!

[ferovc]

Thanks to Al Jazeera to do such a wonderful job. Even most of the India media forgot to focus this issue. Here, News industries make money and media plays a commercial role not anything social.

[ImSchnitzer]

Speak the truth, even if it be against yourself. Well done Al Jazeerah...

[TimeGod12]

WOW Al-Jazeera is becoming so biased against democratic countries like america, india, israel.

Why doesnt al-jazeera show or expose the PAKISTANI human rights violations in balochistan or karachi or FATA ?

[phooey108]

@TimeGod12

Kamal Hyder of Al Jazeera (who is their main Pakistan correspondent) does that CONSTANTLY you ignoramus.

[megamarsvin]

Maoist, leftist, rightist, all these people claim to speak for the people but in the end for the common worker nothing will ever change. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

[CarbonDioxide1990]

fucking stupid illiterate politicians should all be killed you guys need a fucking new political party from the ground up or else a communist revolution for sure hanging the corrupt is the only way to get out of this ur government cant even hang the person who killed hundreds at 26/11 for god sake how retarded can some people get

[phooey108]

fuck me is this ever a hard hitting report. the village of drunks is fucking depressing

[kvivek20gmailcom]

what the fuck !!!

[nazmak14]

very unjust treatment to the native tribes people from both the maoist and indian government..... these people are traumatized by years of exploitation and absolute ignorance from the government and the so called naxalites who claims to be fighting for the people for whom they left no force unturned to equally bring them the sense of hopelessness and utterly uncertain future

[Aron51869]

Hilarious Leftist actvists who share Marxian Class struggle as legitimate Political actvism to record alleged 'house burning' of tribals ! Strange Indian Army and forces stationed all over India dont seem tro be such pyromaniacs except at conflcit zones.Anti Indian view point has professionals, and lets a camera shy Soldier fielding slur against them. If he interviewed us- we would show pictures,reports of what Maoists did - sexual abuse, land grab, torture of 'police informers', u name it...

[abh3092]

@Aron51869 indian army is not deployed all over india,they are not fighting Maoist!

[Aron51869]

The mineral rich Tribal lands are under Maoist illegal Miners. The clip fails to learn that Illegal Mining fetches Maoists huge sums of money- and without concomitant developement infrastructure-using Tribals as bonded slaves ! Vast stretches of Tribal belt produce opium and Mariuana and drug trafficked for arms ! Annual budget of Moaists is in Billions. All that u accuse of India is already taking plcae under Maoists- land grab, humna rights violations, child labour,child soldier recruits...

[Aron51869]

Al Jazeera must be embarassed for its one sided cheer leading of Libyan Rebels. They have lynched a POW Gaddafi in camera and Nato had oustepped its UN mandate of protecting libyan civilans. Instead Al Jazeera lead a biased media coverage that obs=fuscated Libyan Rebel atrocities and its rapid decline into Thuggery and possibly Islamist Extermism soon at this rate. Is this documentary a diversion elsewhere of Guilt? Libyan Rebels and Nato war crimes will embarass Al jazeera soon. Diversion !

[Aron51869]

'Just society" of Extortionsit Drug pedlars and stooges of People Liberation Army's subevrsion of India? We dont fail to note like LTTE child recruits and political illiterates who mouth Cold War doctrines and Maoist Perpetual Class War- something chinese after losing 70 millions by madcap Mao's lead -had quietly buried and taken to Free market and unprecedented prosperity.Mao still is good enough dope to India's anachronistic cretin comrades to export subversion.

[Aron51869]

"ISI should support these 'victims' to prepare them to fight against India? Theyre already upto it- ISi links with every violent mob cult is long reported and confirmed. What Raw fails to do- support Baluchis, Sindhis,Mohajeers and Shias- getting crused by Punjabi Pak military oppression- we also see regular bombing of Shia processions- carnages like at NWFA where some 25,000 baluchis werte slaughtered. Thanks for tip- luckily for India they dont share ISI like Terror Statism.

[Aron51869]

Ultra Leftist extremism is Terrorism and secessionism that gets propped by China and the evangelists-like at North East Mizo and Naga insurrections. They run Parallel states in Tribal belts- 'ideal society' of gun culture, drug running, extortions and keeping Developement to nil so recruitment of unemployed youth gets easy. They disallow any democracy, swear by Mao Tse Dung whom history charges with the worst Genocides in history- of some 60 Million chinese.

[pdadhwal]

Good work al-jazeera. India is not perfect. No country is, however my govt is corrupt does not care about its people. More power to people who can change the system non violently. Wr need more Annajis

[thebytegrill]

@pdadhwal Do you research on 'Annaji' please, he's not and neither are his intentions what they seem.

[pdadhwal]

@thebytegrill .. well should i call the govt... and all its criminals... 'rajaji.. radia.. behenji.. kalmadi ji.. vilasrao deshmnukh ji.. pawar ji... sonia... ji... " its pure abuse of the word ji.. ji?

India is living hell on earth... where the govt does not have any respect for the lives of its citizens..

Anna-jis intentions are good.. Look at the govt.. how it is trying to discredit the core group of eminent personalities and the real public servants..

[thebytegrill]

@pdadhwal

NO Bother.. that' just what they want you to think, this is a plot that's unfolding just like the British let us put up a fight so this asian sub continent would have an identity and it's own modern history, there by creating the formalizing the idea India. Almost all of it is lies. They kept us busy with India vs Pakistan etc.. it was not what they say about Jinnah and Nehru... this was all premeditated. As crazy as it sounds. Read "Tragedy & Hope" by Carroll Quigley.

[thebytegrill]

@pdadhwal

Also check out Allan Watt - Matrix and Reality series on youtube. You'll feel shocked and truly helpless. We are still ruled by kings and queens, as they are by their bankers. The world is so different in reality, it's beyond any horror fiction can come up with.

[thebytegrill]

@pdadhwal India was created so as to manage the various kingdoms with one central bank. That's how the globalists assert effective control. Control the money, and you control everything, like they don't know all that crap that's going on, they are hand in glove. Think about the hidden commerce of your mineral and power industries, why is it that these things are always in the hands of a few, and that dominance continues for 10s of generations, it's not exactly free markets.

[thebytegrill]

@pdadhwal In reality and practice they ensure, capitalism is nothing but communism with some illusionary tactics to give you the feeling of freedom. The same people paid for Stallin, Hitler & all the tyrants in the middle east. It's a 400 year old plan, as crazy as it sounds, we've all been brainwashed for generations. The world is run by fools for the bankers who's families go back 400 years, they're inbred psychopaths.

[ksnlegend]

ISI should support these victims to prepare them to fight against India. That can be a good answer to Indian's presence in Afghanistan. If India claims that they have centuries of relationship with Afghanistan (of what type?) then Pakistan have also long border with this people and they have right on Pakistan to get help financially and in form of modern weapons. India assumes itself as "all is well" country in media but not all on ground.

[abh3092]

@ksnlegend --dude pakistan does not have the financial clout to fight india! if we here in india want we have have a bloodbath in pakistan....ooops thats happening in pakistan daily!

[ksnlegend]

hhhh

[haider5555]

Shame on india...indians killing everyone , Asam , Kashmir , Moaist , bangalies , Sikhs ....

[abh3092]

@haider5555 shame on pakistan, pakistan kills pashtuns,balochs,kashmiris,sin­dhis,afgans

[haider5555]

@abh3092

oh boy watch above video again ...its india...lol..

indian army eating indian

all indian developments failed, arjun tank, LCA , nuke subs, two subs collided , two satellite launches failed in a year...i mean com on....live peacefully ...

[abh3092]

@haider5555 indian army? have you seen the indian army in the video? while wathcning the video i am reminded of how poor fair skinned pakhtuns are treated by dark skinned smelly terrorist pakis! 

[haider5555]

@abh3092

u can find many videos showing indian army...as journalist was in india they afraid to talk against indian army...if not watch my videos...and those killed by Pakistan Army are not Pakhtoon...those are indian trained suicide bombers coming from Afghanistan....and those r not even afghans,,,,those r the unwanted children born in india and trained in india and Afghanistan and then sent to Pakistan...and Pakistan army hunt them....and Pakistan Army will hunt them in india.

[enuvune]

silent but deadly. :B

[junaidanwar99]

Quite Ironically the Two states of Jharkhand and Chattisgarh were carved out a decade ago in the name for development of the Tribals.

[brwneyesaz]

East Indians Hindu's are racist and they hate black people. Shame on East Indians killing people because they are black. They are just like the KKK in USA.

[d09000814]

@brwneyesaz Yea we hate black people. Now would you do and fuck yourself would ya?

PS: I m east indian and i m black!

[instinctz27]

Excellent piece of work Imran. This makes me think that the original problem lies in Capitalism's pressure on the democracy is actually making no democracy work across the world. What that Maoist leader said was true to some extent, What democracy brought to India was a transfer of power from British Royal Family to Nehru Family in a way. After independence, all the people who had high social stature held key positions in India and they eventually had to bend before Capitalists to make money!!!

[MrJerkinp]

@instinctz27 The main problem is India is too large and especially diverse. You got various ethnic, linguistic and religious groups all across the country of India. Whereas China is dominated by one ethnic group the Hans who out number even the original ethnic inhabitants in other parts of the country. The Indian central government is responsible for the entire country and combined with corruption many people end up being ignored and rights abused. So this is not something democracy can solve.

[TexasAaron99]

@MrJerkinp Maybe its their religion which is the problem. The caste system needs to be abolished if we are to see any changes,

[MrJerkinp]

@TexasAaron99 Caste system was abolished but that is only on paper as people there still carry on the ideals of the caste system and discriminate.

[aburashdan]

@instinctz27 aboriginals are 8% of india's population, roughly the size southern black and indian population had been during jim crows america. when the blacks were toiling in cotton fields, US was preparing for its lunar voyages. why does it surprise someone that india would do anything differently? there may not be any war going on in the west but the rate of high alchohol, comsumption, illiteracy and suicide in US, canada and australia are no secrets anymore. the problem is capitalism.

[justinkicksass2]

my perspective is both the Maoist and governments fault IF the Maoist gathered a large protest and protested around India the media would encourage the world to step in. without resulting in violence And only IF the government created a fair deal with the people who lived there for centuries. the gov't should have created a reserved land with the promise of cattle,adequate housing vast farmland etc They could have offered huge amounts of money to relocate since the minerals are worth "trillions"

[baltao08]

Armed struggle is not limited to secessionist or national liberation movements. Land-grabbing and the callous disregard of feudal lords towards the common man, who has a difficult time making ends meet, is what fuels armed struggle. What's worse is that state institutions exist to protect the interests of the ruling class. The same happens here in the Philippines, where you have a Maoist insurgency in the provinces.

[d09000814]

As if blowing up schools and hospitals is going to do any good to the adivasi community. There is a big difference between blowing up things for change and trying actually change something. That was something Gandhi taught us. If we replace peaceful protests by the Indian People with violence and bombs, India would be no more than Iraq in a month's time. These people have a choice. Join the naxalites who pretend to help them by getting them rid of schools and hospitals or join the Indian govt.

[CarbonDioxide1990]

poor people shame on Indian politicians and corrupt officials utterly disgusting no better than chinese communists 

[lablask]

the war between civilized and uncivilized is old and would never stop..

[junaidanwar99]

The handling of this issue has been an utter failure by the govt,coming form a place which is heavily affected by maoist insurgency i can say that the command operation has been hijacked by a group who are now bent on one word Revenge.Its a no win situaiton for either side with these poor innocent tribals caught unnecesarily in the quagmire of violence.

[CitizenTyrant]

I want out of this world.

[15joey04]

It's sad to see people turned into madness like these "maoist"-group show, and it

makes me wonder what they've gone thru or are made off !!!

[uditchow]

The socialist government got rid of Right To Property and its not just here the land grab is everywhere in the country.

And now to make amends when they try to help these people the Maoists blow up the schools and hospitals.

This socialist fighting That socialist .

[dreicemoney]

all indians have been there for thousands of years. Claiming that one group has been there a bit longer than another is pointless.

[KriztofferKriztenzen]

Poor Adivasis :(

The Indian Government sucks ass.

[uditchow]

@KriztofferKriztenzen its not black and white the government that started this was carrying out the same socialist agenda that the maoists wanted.

In fact the maoists have fought for 40 years with a communist government in Bengal.

There is lot of help for these people nowadays.

When it comes to socialism damned if you do damned if you don't.

Also

They haven't even shown the most heavily forested and hence heavily infested areas in Chattisgarh because they would be shot if they dare.

[massimo38]

This reporter is very green & instead of having a conversation he's acting as an

Police investigater . he's hurting the people more than helping them.

[MrMastimapler]

@massimo38 The people are crying during their simple conversations. The reporter clearly wanted to know the killings and the poverty. That was the main agenda for him and talking about it made the locals cry but if they didnt talk about it, how would people know??...Personally, he did a very good job and stop hating and try to get the message. Please only respond if you can actually help the people...

[massimo38]

@MrMastimapler My dear friend I think you missed understand.I appreciate his show but to go into war zone

with a note in hand just like a police officers do will attract unwanted attention to the poor people and it is

axactly what happened in the video when the secret police came by .Did you see the look on these people's faces when the secret police show up ? Do we know what happened to these people after Mr.Imran and

his crew left the area ? I wish Mr.Imran & the villagers the best ,Thanks.

[MrMastimapler]

@massimo38 That I agree with...I think that the villagers were punished...sad to see a democracy abusing the people who cant use law....

[massimo38]

@MrMastimapler Now I feel better because I don't wish to have an issue with the Aussie .

I am always hungry 4 shows like these & my PC is my best friend and I love to learn about the other people's cultures and I think India id a great country but the have to get rid of their social diseases before talking about Democracy.Here's some thinh it might shocks you if you didn't see it before . watch?v=uM85zVt6xCU&feature=re­lated .........................CAN YOU IMAGINE ??

[youngbuck189]

Maoists are scum. They claim to be in favor of helping people through social welfare, community cooperation and other nobel ideas. Yet they are just as bad as any other group of thugs. They are frauds.

[JoshuatheKodiak]

@youngbuck189

As with any other revolutionary or political group really.

[aglorincz]

@youngbuck189 communism says a lot about human nature. here was a good opportunity for man, and we make it yet another shitty despotism.

[GluttonForSex]

@aglorincz "We would be compelled to acknowledge that Stalinism was rooted not in the backwardness of the country, but in the congenital incapacity of the proletariat to become a ruling class. Then it would be necessary to establish, in retrospect, that the present USSR was the precursor of a new and universal system of exploitation." -- Leon Trotsky, 1938

Go figure.

[ashutoshmikku]

@youngbuck189

May be you should also criticize the Indian state in the same term who are plundering the natural resources for the corporates and dispossessing the tribals.

[youngbuck189]

@ashutoshmikku The Indian state is a dictatorship of the ruling class. "Largest democracy in the world" is the biggest lie in the world. It's goal is to expolit every inch of the country, all the natural resources, and all the people so that a miniscule fraction can become like Europe and feel so refined and cultured in their skycrapers and private jets. We already know that, but too many people think the Maoists are freedom fighters when in reality they are just opportunists.

[zaheerkk82]

A bakery looks beautifully from front but behind the bakery there is a dirty work

Now that's called "scene Behind the Bakery"
