The Naxalbari Hydra

 Seasoned tribal, Insas rifle flung on shoulder, this is the first image that comes to my mind whenever I hear of the many headed monster called Maoists. Is it because of a skewed mining policy coupled with gross neglect and exploitation of these regions that has alienated the tribals(99% of Maoists are tribals)and forced them to cold blooded methods? Or is it fanned and fostered a bit too much by the dragon which has a gameplan to create an East West Divide across the heart of the tiger? 
     A method akin to the one followed by Hercules of using a burning firebrand to scorch the neck stumps after each decapitation has to be followed, the root cause to be tackled.A word for the likes of Ms Roy-the scores of the CRPF formation who were sitting ducks and the innocents aboard Jnaneshwari Express, didn't they deserve to have human rights?
