Some of our leaders plead for dialogue with Naxalites and extend financial support to bring these naxalites in mainstream. They should keep in mind that dialogue is possible only with those who are interested to talk with the Government. There are naxalites or terrorists who are bent upon disturbing India, weakening India and Indian armed forces and hence they cannot be expected to come on talking table with clear intention. Such criminals are to be taught a lesson, such criminals have to be booked to task and each of their attack has to be properly investigated and each of such criminal must be punished without any hesitation and only then Indian government can imagine of controlling or stopping the act of growing naxalism or terrorism in India. Dialogue is a separate process and it must be continued with people who are interested sincerely in maintaining social peace, harmony and who are really interested in work of development. Any talk of financial inclusion will prove futile and complete Bakwas if these naxalites try to loot even development fund and misuse the same for carrying out their anti national activities.
Ministers are talking of dialogue with Naxalites and the same thing to handle terrorists acting from across the border and on the other hand Naxalites have been continuously growing in their power, their network and their effectiveness in carrying out destructive and killer attacks on trains, on buses, on public fares, crowded roads. Naxalies boldly do so and do without any fear of retaliation from police forces. They are successfully executing their agenda of anti national activities and that of mass killings of armed forces police personnel and poor innocent villagers.
It has to be always kept in mind that those people, naxalites or terrorists who indulge in killings of innocent villagers or armed forces are neither true Indians nor true human being. These criminals are neither good for society nor for the country. Such criminals are neither true Indians nor true Pakistanis, neither true Hindus nor true Muslims or Sikh r Christian. In my opinion crime is crime and it has to be dealt with sternly and severely to keep values of civic society intact. Criminals must be punished as per prevailing laws and none of the politicians should be allowed to interfere or make any comment on the matter related to Law and Order. Continuous soft attitude towards evil doers and maintaining soft corner for such criminals shows not bravery but affirms the cowardice, inactiveness and timidity on the part of administrators. Talk of dialogue sometimes appears deceptive and symbolize nothing but evasive policies of he government , either at state level or at central level
Social reformists and selfish politicians like Mama Banerjee or Digvijay Singh or Lalu Yadav or Mulayam Singh or Sibu Soren have been advocating for years together dialogue process as the one and only solution to the problem of naxalism. I charge such politicians as selfish because such politicians survive in politics only by taking support from these anti national naxal elements. They are least bothered of brutal killings of CRPF forces or demoralization of armed forces or pain of families whose members have been killed by naxal elements.
In the same way, some politicians are advocating dialogue process with Pakistan for last two three decades. Inspite of India’s several unilateral efforts carried out time and again by UPA and NDA governments in the past to initiate dialogue with Pakistan (merely to please Bosses sitting in America and to please some Muslims and some Muslim leaders in India who are speaking the languages of Pakistan Government) our neighbour Pakistan has not stopped hate campaign against India, Pakistan has not stopped supporting ISI and terror outfits like LeT to carry out cross border terror attack in India and has not taken any effective step to punish terror perpetuators .Pakistan has always stabbed us from behind whenever Indians initiate dialogue process. It will not be out of place to mention here that millions of Indians had taken vow to effectively fight against terror and not to remain silent till the terrorists re booked to task.
Inspite of terror attack on Parliament of India and reputed religious places, terror attack in Mumbai and so many other places some of our politicians still plead continuance of dialogue process. Pakistan has stabbed India so many times, misbehaved with our leaders and expelled Indian diplomats from Pakistan for no reason just to irritate Indians and cause division in Indian community.
But India is great, its patience is unparallel in the world, its capacity to tolerate all acts of disrespect and boldly tell the people of India that India is not afraid of Pakistan or any neighboring countries. Obviously Indian leaders have decided not to decide so that their Muslim vote bank is not disturbed and they may be able to continue in power. In the name of dialogue and in the name of peace process our selfish leaders are weakening India and causing irreparable loss to Indians , to armed forces and to India’s respect and dignity in the world.
Days are not far when armed forces will revolt and act against Pakistan even without taking the concurrence of Indian politicians. They will have to keep, maintain and boost up the morale of armed forces without caring for annoyance of such selfish politicians. Similarly local police force, CRPF and other paramilitary forces will not hesitate in defying the orders of selfish politicians and to retaliate against naxalites indulging in anti national activities just to keep their head high and to save the life of their families. I salute Home Minister Mr. Chidambram who is making his best effort to fight against Naxalism and cross border terrorism even though he is facing stiff resistance from some of his own colleagues and some members of opposing camp.
There is an old proverb as “Money is lost noting is lost, health is lost something is lost but if character is lost everything is lost.”

UPA government or State Government
Central government cannot escape its responsibility to handle the problems related to naxalism and save he country from the danger posed by naxalite groups, by anti national forces acting from inside the country. They cannot put blame squarely on state governments saying that naxalism is law and order problem and hence a subject of state government. Only fool can accept the theory of law and order problem cited by Ministers in Central Government or leaders of Congress Party or any other person like Lalu Yadav even after experiencing large scale killing of CRPF and common men in last one month only , that too on one place only and that in Dantewara district in Chattisgarh state. This is happening despite the fact that Chief Minister of Chattishgarh is making all efforts to handle naxalism and extending all support to Central government wholeheartedly. In other states like Bihar, West Bengal, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand mass killing by naxalites has become common feature and hence accepted by common men as usual incident like road accidents. .
Naxalites have grown in number, in financial strength and accumulated huge arms and ammunitions and now they openly challenge and threat state governments, kill CRPF and police personnel in wholesale number, not to speak of thousands of innocents common men. When naxalites are not worried of central Para military forces, how untrained and unequipped police personnel under the control of state government can control and stop naxalism. It is pity that state government are not able to control even traffic jams or stop large scale money extortion carried out by local goonda elements in small or big towns. Digvijay Singh like mad politician can only blame Raman Singh CM of Chattishgarh to do dirty politics, such person should keep in memory naxal like incidents occurring frequently in Kashmir and also Mumbai terror attack of 1991 and incident of unforgettable 27 -11 and many more fatal attacks which occurred in the past when Congress Party was in rule. I do not want enumerate them to waste the time of readers.
I therefore appeal leaders of ruling party not to treat the problem of naxalism from the view of political advantage r disadvantage. Naxalism has penetrated in many states of the country and presently it poses a bigger threat than terrorism managed by foreign based camps. It is no more a hidden fact that Pakistan based terrorists are using India based naxalites to weaken India’s internal security and demoralize the security forces. It is open secret that even police forces are paying dadagiri tax to naxalites for survival in all naxal affected areas and they are even parting with their arms or even selling arms and ammunitions to naxal groups.
If Indian government even now do not understand the gravity and danger of Maoism or naxalism and delay in launching a sincere war against naxalim to finish it for ever and for rooting it out from every corner of the country, India will have to face the same problem as Sri Lanka faced the problem of LTTE . Ultimately Sri Lanka declared war against LTTE and finished it. India will have to do the same sooner or later, though they may do so after incurring huge loses of human beings and facing the worst position of demoralization, demotivtions and division in armed forces as also revolt from police forces. Common men have undoubtedly lost faith in UPA government and many state governments specially those in states like Jharkhand and West Bengal.
It is proper to mention here that late Indira Gandhi was courageous lady to finish Khalistan Movement though belatedly and it was her this act for the safety of people of India that she was assassinated. But she always considered nation and poor people above party she belonged to. Nation is always bigger than Individual. It will not be an exaggeration to say that present team of politicians could never win the battle of freedom because they are least bothered of common men or safety of the country. Lastly I do not hesitate in appealing all state governments and politicians in general to support present Home Minister Sri P Chidambaram wholeheartedly in fighting Naxalism even by using war weapons or using air strikes.

Don;t delay, maoist will strike more
This refers to today’s news that Maoist have offered compensation to aggrieved families of CRPF jawans killed by them at Dantewara in the state of Chattishgarh on the memorable and unforgettable day 6th April 2010
.
This is the fittest reply given by Maoist to inefficient, corrupt and non performing government. Hitherto government used to announce compensation for poor and innocent killed in any mishap, terror attack or naxal attacks where government was guilty of ineffectiveness, inertness and corrupt administrative system.
Instead of improving the quality of administration or punishing the guilty persons sitting in government offices, our ministers used to sit calm by announcing some compensatory packages or relief and rehabilitation after each naxal or terror attacks and brutal killing of innocent villagers.
.
For the first time, Maoists have announced the same compensation for family members of victim families of 76 CRPF men killed by themselves. This is indeed a cruel joke on our government and should now at least open the eye of sleeping government and of at least those social reformers or politicians who advocate for dialogue with naxal elements.
Now it may be clear to government that Maoist has grown more powerful than government in financial as well as fighting capacity. Government should be ashamed and keep their head low now or else leave no stone unturned to fight to finish Maoists without listening to any demand for dialogue with those who do not respect Indian laws and Indian citizen.
Government should now act before it is too late.

Finsih Naxalism
Problem of Naxalism and extremism is increasing year after year. Government in last three decades has almost underestimated the gravity of the matter ad neglected the same altogether. There have been fatal attacks by naxalites in their area of operation on many occasions in the past but no substantial action has been taken against the attackers.
Police force in each state knows how naxalites are extorting money from rich businessmen, house builders, service men and even police personnel. Many police stations have been attacked in the past and their guns and other arms and ammunitions have been taken away by attackers. Hundreds of innocents have been killed brutally in group. And so on…
Naxalites are growing in numbers and strength year after year. Their Finacial power has assumed the dangerous proportion, they have accumulated huge arms and ammunition and are capable to strike even CRPF camps and kill them in good numbers as happened on black Monday saddest 6th April 2010 in Indian history. They have exhibited their power of strike on many occasions in the past. But unfortunately politicians in our country never tried to stop the same.
There are still many politicians who are sympathizer of such naxalites, who take the support of these hard core naxalites during election to give a befitting reply to their opponents, who use gang members of naxal groups to motivate and threat voters and force them to cast their valued votes in favour of desired candidate or face the dire consequences. It will not be exaggeration to say that members of naxalite groups are sitting in all offices from state level assemblies to village level panchayats and block level government offices to state secretariats.
Members of naxal groups have not only spread their network to a great extent but actively working in each corner of the country. Every big or small contractor working for various departments of the government has to donate money in proportion to their contract value to Naxalite groups. For common men it is called as dadagiri tax. People have accepted this dirty system and do not approach police or any office to get rid of this extortion, because of non action or because of more dangerous consequences.
It is unfortunate that during last three decades government remained almost silent spectators of all such dangerous activities of naxalism. After each fatal attack by naxal groups, Home Minister like Mr. Shiv Raj Patil thought it wise to announce some monetary help for the family of victim of naxal attacks and thought it better and beneficial not to take any step to stop spread of naxalism in the country like cancer.
It is also a bitter truth that even ruling government and police forces are also afraid of repercussions on their family or on the their election prospects from naxal groups,.
Many nationalist, writers, social activists and honest politicians have pointed out that naxalism is greater threat to India than external threat from country like Pakistan or global terrorism. But the valued suggestions of noble writers were always ignored. As a result of this prolonged negligence and casual approach of various governments naxalism has become greatest threat to people of India.
It is only in the last year that Mr. P Chidambram took charge of Home department and started his sincere work against terrorism coming from abroad as also against naxalism in the name of Operation Red Hunt. There is no doubt that he has created a fear in the mind of naxal groups and this is why they are trying to belittle the effort of the government .I have no doubt that Mr. Chidambaram has the will and the brain to combat naxalism and terrorism tooth and nail and it is he who can finish the same from the root provided he gets wholehearted support not only from his party members but also from members of opposition groups,
Mr. Home Minister needs support not only from central and concerned state governments but also from local people who can play prominent and vital role in identification of naxalites, trained criminals and tell about their hide outs, their action plan etc.
It is the urgent task before government to leave no stone unturned to finish naxalism from the country. Government should not give opportunity to Pakistan in particular and international community in general to say that India is incapable to control even domestic terrorism.

Dr. Abdul Kalam
Why is the media here so negative?
Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements?
We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them.
Why do we ignore them?
We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan; he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.
I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.
In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T.Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.
Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is.
She replied: I want to live in a developed India. For her, you and I will have to build this developed India. You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation.
Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance.
Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours.
YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.
YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?
Take a person on his way to Singapore. Give him a name - 'YOURS'. Give him a face - 'YOURS'. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are.. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity… In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU?
YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai. YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah.
YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs.650) a month to, 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.’
YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, 'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost.'
YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand.
Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ?
Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston???
We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India?
In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan.
Will the Indian citizen do that here?'
He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative.
We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin.
We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.
We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity.
This applies even to the staffs who are known not to pass on the service to the public.
When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse?
'It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system?
What does a system consist of?
Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbors, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.
Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England. When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.
Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too…. I am echoing J. F. Kennedy's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians…..
'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'
Let us do what India needs from us.
Thank you,
Dr.. Abdul Kalam

When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.
Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England. When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.
Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too…. I am echoing J. F. Kennedy's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians…..
'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'
Let us do what India needs from us.
Thank you,

Pakistan will never stop terrorism
India is a vast country and Indian security forces or police cannot provide security to all people in each corner of the country. This is a bitter truth, which every Indian must admit. We are fortunate enough that terrorists are active and conducting terror attacks in metros and big towns only. If they start targetting small towns, cities and village for target attack, I apprehend India’s security arrangement will get punctured and prove to be hollow, absolutely incompetent and inadequate to deal with highly equipped, trained and funded terrorists.
I feel however proud that person like Mr. P Chidambaram has been in charge of Home Ministry and he has left no stone unturned to have best control and best use of available police and armed forces, to monitor and coordinate various intelligence agencies and to have best possible liasoning with most of the concerned department to achieve best possible result in available resources, at least far better than his immediate predecessor Mr. Shiv Raj Patil. It is his sincere efforts that during last 400 days no terror attack took place and many probable attacks were thwarted and culprits were booked in jail.
In the present case of Pune blast also, home ministry had alerted all well in advance about probable terror attack. Police forces as also people of these towns were cautioned to be alert of terrorists and unidentified bags. But home ministry or the police forces cannot follow those terrorists 24 hours 365 days. . Terrorists on the other hand are behind their target 24 hours and 365 days. This mismatch gives terrorist an opportunity to befool public as well as police. If people of India, politicians and media all cooperate, I hope India will be safer. Government needs to send a clear signal to criminals that there will be no sympathy for those who commit crime and violate laws of the Nation, irrespective of their caste or community and needs to ensure quickest punishment to crime perpetuators, even if it needs to jail Thakre like person or Indian Muzahiddin (IM) needs to be banned and its members need to be booked to task.
We therefore need a fool proof system which can take care of common men at all places every minute, every time. Police forces and the ruling party succeeded in release of MNIK in Mumbai and in the state of Maharashtra only because it was a few days phenomenon and one time event. Police forces were sent in civil dresses in all cinema halls to control the situation successfully. Similarly Indian government has to ensure that fifty percent of police forces are posted in civil dresses and made active in all corners of the country to guard common men to watch on the malicious activities of terror groups or naxal groups. This is possible only when entire political system and administrative machinery is redefined, reactivated, revitalized and rejuvenated. And the most important is that politicians are kept completely away from police forces. This is possible only when politicians discard vote bank politics and give value to security of Indians on priority.
However this is also true that police force in our country do not work sincerely and honestly at all the places and in all the states in the country. Reason behind inactiveness of police force is also nothing but wrong policies and wrong treatment of police force in the hands of politicians. When they act some party or the other abuses them, when they do not act they are abused by some politician or the other. It is therefore easy and comfortable for police personnel to do what politicians or ministers in person like them to do. It means police forces in general think it wise, prudent and better to flatter VIP and powerful person to get cream posting, easy promotions in career and get rid of all charges leveled against them by common men. We need to change this culture prevailing in almost all government offices, banks and insurance companies.
Unfortunately in our country those who act honestly and sincerely are more often than not shunted out and placed at such a critical place that honestly becomes a curse for its followers instead of an award. Even distributing of various medals or awards for successful completion of any task or any courageous action in police forces are based on either flattery to bosses or recommendations of some higher authority or some political heavyweights. Prestigious award like Padma Bhusan, Padam Shree, or Padam Bibhusan are awarded to controversial figures. This is very much painful.
Indians know how sincere IPS officer like various governments in her career treated Kiran Bedi when she was in job. People know how person like DGP Mr.Rathore got one after other promotions and better posting even after his involvement in Ruchika’s case. In the past few days IAS officers have been found to be indulged in large scale corruption and property worth many crores of rupees have been caught by IT authorities. Morality of top officers has faced dangerous erosion in the hand of politicians of the country.
Obviously entire set of administration has become victim of corruption and selfish policies of politicians. It is ironical that politicians who are originator of all corruption always blame administration for rampant corruption. This mutual blame game continues and common men become victim in all the cases of security lapses and it is painful that in this mutual mud slinging process, criminals get rid of charges, or court proceedings are delayed and ultimately criminals get rid of punishment for their crime. As a consequence crime graph in our country is rising unabated.
To add fuel to fire, criminals are getting support of various political parties to enter in to Parliament and take part in debate and stop legislative or executive action against criminals. It is undeniably true for Indian political system that politicians and criminal are two sides of the same coin and police forces are instrumental to them, subsidiary to them and nothing but extended arm of our bad political and administrative system .We therefore need thorough change in the system from top to bottom level.
It is also regrettable that even media instead of focusing main problem, concentrating on terror attack and searching its possible remedy start searching loopholes in the speeches of ministers, police authorities and change the agenda of the country from security mechanism to dirty political game. Media portrays the picture of terror attack in a way, which is not conducive for proper and appropriate investigation of the terror attack. Even intelligence inputs are broadcasted and elaborately enlightened on TV in such a way which help more to terrorists in changing their target and strategy, rather than helping police and people of the country to effectively trap the terrorists before they act upon their conspiracy to destabilize the country. Enemy foreign countries take advantage of our weak points and always succeed in execution of their dirty, destructive and divisive plans to weaken India. Undoubtedly media needs to be made accountable and responsible towards sensitive issues like terror linked in formations and post terror attack investigation procedures.
