#1 State governments in India have been wrong-footed by the daring tactics and sophisticated weaponry of Maoist groups, also known as Naxalites.

Rubbish...

Nothing sophisticatd about their weaponry.
Maoists go about with country made guns or raid police armories. Rural Indian police have 303 lee enfields.
Nothing daring about their tactics.. they extort money from people, chopping off noses and ears of people who resist. They plant IEDs to blow up police.

The Indian media, populated by lefists and maxists sympatizers, has glorified the maoists.
Indian politicians have been unwilling to wage war, seeing the maoists as misguided youth.

The various Indian governemnts have not invested in the police stations and personnel necessary to enforce the writ of the state. They pay lip service to rural areas...

Well, stupidity has its price...

"Some six months ago when Chhattisgarh approached the Home Minister with a detailed plan of airborne operations against the Naxalites in the jungles, it was told the suggestion was preposterous. "Talk to them, they are our own boys", the state government was gratuitously informed."

#2 That should be "marxist sympathizers"

The graduates of JNU (Jawarlalhal Nehru University) populate the Indian media.
The alumni include the leaders of the Nepali Maoists.

When Indian PM Singh visited JNU a few months ago, he has cursed and shouted down by the students in a lecture hall...

Marxism rules there...

#3 "There was unending talk of addressing the ubiquitous "socio-economic" roots of terror, and bleeding hearts decreed that the antidote to the perversions of Charu Mazumdar was the Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and the Tribal Bill."

For the Maoists, it was carnival time.
Only war can quell Maoists
