Is the war against the Maoists proceeding according to plan? Or, is there a plan at all?
To find out, Firstpost commissioned THL Mediagrove to make contact with the Maoists and the government forces battling them in two of the eastern states—Bihar and Jharkhand—to get a clearer view from ground zero.
What is clear from their interactions—the first in recent months—is that the war may be meandering into a stalemate, thanks to uncoordinated actions by various state forces, and a more cohesive approach from the rebel forces. In Jharkhand, the drive to catch a key Maoist commander has got nowhere despite several attempts.
While the Maoists—also known as Naxals—seem to be preparing for a long-drawn war against the state, the state does not seem to be getting anywhere.
The Naxals plan has three prongs—try and show the people that they are the benefactors by dispensing medicine and food, enforce rudimentary justice, including Taliban-style kangaroo courts, and three, indoctrinate all its recruits—including women—with its ideology. The whole edifice is supported by extortion from businessmen and traders.
