> Every day there are news reports of 17, 22, 31 “Maoists” killed. Many of those killed are simply tribal villagers caught in the crosshairs of the deadly, remote-controlled sophistry of modern weaponry. How do these weapons decide who is a Maoist? How do you throw a bomb from a helicopter and know it will land only on a Maoist? What does a Maoist look like? Nobody knows. If supporting the Adivasi cause or reading Karl Marx in your city apartment can get you labelled an urban naxal, then every forest-dweller clinging to her land can be a Maoist. The labels work like infrared emissions, attracting arrests and bullets with unerring regularity.
