the world. Such claims fly on the face ofthe license to kill, hande~ out by the Indian government to the Air-force and the Army: while the former reserves the 'right' to commit aerial bombardments in the nan1e of'self-defense', the latter does not even require such fig-leaf of an excuse as it has been made clear that the army will not wait to be first shot bythe Naxalites, but will be the first to fire upon anyone it suspects to be a Naxalite. 'ndian Army's operations are being expanded in the war . nes where the adivasis and other communities are resisting the sell-out ofnatural resources to international and domestic monopolies, displacing and decin1ating the local people. In order to deceive the democrats in the country and outside, the rulers -who are fighting against the most deprived sections ofthe people -have tried to justify their war as an act of curbing 1eft-wing extremists' or Naxalites I Maoists. No doubt Naxalites I Maoists are part ofthe larger resistant movement today in all these regions, but this does not justify the ruling elite's war on the citizens of this .
country. .
Due to the stiff resistance faced by the Indian state's Armed forces from the wretched ofthe earth in these regions. the 'democratic' Indian state has followed the policy of raising private armed vigilante gangs. That the corporate sector in India also has time and again asked the Government to further institutionalise such gangs through concrete material and other supports so as to enable the easy loot and plunder ofthe resources in these regions is an open secret that few have noticed. The list ofsuch private armed groups forme~ and led by the joint armed forces ofthe government in central and eastern India is a leng one: Salwa Judum and Koya Commandos (now legalised) in Chhattisgarh, Sendra, .
Nagarik Suraksha Samiti, PLFI, Jharkhand Prastuti Committee, Tritiya Prastuti Committee in Jharkhand~ Shanti Sangams in South Odisha, and Harmad Bahini or what is now called Bhairab Bahini in West Bengal, and so on. And these are only a few ofthe vast number of private armed gangs being propped up by the government to kill and brutalise our fellow citizens by spending the tax-payer's money. All these forces are under the directions ofthe Unified Command ofthe Indian government and the Home Ministry. These publicly-funded private gangs are ki1ling thousands of people branding them as NaxalitesiMaoists. Ifwe add the private armed gangs maintained bythe local warlords) the mining mafia and other corporate houses supported and patronised by the Indian state, the .
number ofcommon people who are resisting their oppression and are killed by the government forces in the War on People shoots up exponentially. The War on People is not restricted to the rural and mineral-rich forested regions of India-alone, but has also reached its urban enclaves. It has spread to encompass all the urban and semi-urban regions from where support and solidarity is extended to the rural regions-the mainstay ofthe resistance movements. Democratic voices are stifled and choked everywhere. Thousands of democratic individuals and hundreds of peoples' organisations that boldly raise their voice ofprotest against this War on People are jailed, tortured, threatened or killed in fake encounters. It is important to note here the detailed statement ofthe Minister of State for Home Affairs Jitendra Singh in the two houses of Parliament showing organisatio~s such as Revolutionary Democratic Front (RDF), Committee for the Release of Political Prisoners (CRPP), People's Democratic Front of India (PDFI), Democratic Students Union (DSU), CPI (ML) (Naxalbari) and other parties and people's organisations as "being watched" closely by the .
·eyes and ears o'fthe government. That "being watched .closely by the eyes and ears" ofthe government is to provoke a sense ofsiege mentality in the psyche ofthe general public vis-a-vis such organisations so as to segregate them from the vast democratic mass movements that they are part of. Further the minister has gone ahead to brand RDF, CRPP, PDFI and DSU as the frontal organisations ofthe CPI (Maoist). It is evident that all these organisations have been successful in rallying the voices against the murderous campaign of the Indian state to facilitate this largest land grab ever since the time of Columbus let alone the attendant loot and plunder of resources ofthe people. So it becomes inevitab1e for the Indian State to see to it that such voices are criminalised by profiling them as 'anti-development' and hence against the 'national' interest. This fascistic tendency to supress the democratic voices is a needed strategy for the belligerent ruling forces that are entangled in crisis with the deepening economic cri.sis world-wide. .
The Indian rulers facilitate the unbridled plunder of people's resources and labour to help the imperialist countries come out oftheir economic crisis. while the people fall prey to starvation. diseases and planned genocides ofthe state, This situation is certainly no better than the old colonial policy since Columbus and his brand ofland-grab that decimated numerous indigenous tribal communities. The only answer is to intensify our opposition to Indian State's War on People in the name ofOperation Green Hunt. .
