#1 The state machinery in the Maoist afflicted areas is almost non-existent, and that includes effective security forces. Unlike in Kashmir, where the Army, Special Forces, Federal and local Police and other military organisations are present - the Maoist areas are mostly policed by poorly paid police officers with guns dating back to the British Raj.

The cops need a weapons upgrade, sound like a great biz oportunity for Bangladesh. <)

#3 The Maoists, Commies, and Islamists Terrorists will succeed only in those areas where local leaders and Government have utterly refused or failed to give the people hope, where the poor are so used to poverty and neglect they can't imagine anything better than to take by force what they need to survive. OTH, the Crimicrats-Mafiacrats will cya and exploit/abuse the situation by disguising themselves amongst everyone and anyone and behind every issue. India's probs are complemented by China's desires to dominate the region.
