When drinking from a stream they do not take up water in their hands but put their mouth down to it like cattle.” Some of the tribals are “leading a savage life”, we are told, “they do not like to come to the outer world and mingle with the modern civilisation.” Into this charming picture of ‘savages’ who ‘shoot down strangers with arrows’, one must unfortunately bring in a few uncomfortable facts. What used to be the former undivided district of Bastar (since 2001 carved into the districts of Dantewada, Bastar and Kanker) is currently a war zone. The main roads, in Dantewada in particular, but also in parts of Bastar and Kanker, are full of CRPF and other security personnel, out on combing operations.2 The Maoists control the jungles. In the frontlines of this battle are ordinary villagers who are being pitted against each other on a scale unparalleled in the history of Indian counterinsurgency.

    Attack on the Democratic Processes in Bastar Under the Guise of Counter Insurgency Is an Issue of Concern

    Date: 4 September 2014 Press Release Attack on the democratic processes in Bastar under the guise of counter insurgency is an issue of concern. Adv Sudha Bhardwaj, General Secretary of Chhattisgarh People’s Union for Civil Liberties, expressed her organisation’s deep concern at the recent developments in the Antagarh By-Election for the Legislative Assembly. The withdrawal of nominations of ten out of the twelve candidates and the subsequent events including the mysterious disappearance and reappearance of the Congress candidate Manturam Pawar cannot be called natural, especially since the Congress party had won several seats in the Bastar division only recently. According to a newspaper report, the only candidate remaining in the fray now - Roopdhar Puddo from the Ambedkarite Party of India- in a press conference stated that he was under a lot of pressure, including even directly from the Private Secretary of the Chief Minister Shri OP Gupta, to withdraw his nomination due to which he had to go “underground” till the period for withdrawing nominations lapsed. Today the 10 candidates who had withdrawn their names are reported to have “joined the Bharatiya Janata Party”. The holding of free and fair elections is a fundamental and essential requisite of our democratic structure. But it seems that militarization in Bastar is being abused to deal with political opponents. On 26th August in Raipur, the State President of the Congress Party, Mr. Bhupesh Baghel, mentioned in a press conference, that the recent surrender of so-called ‘Hardcore Naxalites’ - Chetram Sahu and his wife Manjula is false, and the two are ordinary villagers.

    The Saffron Wave Meets the Silent Revolution: Why the Poor Vote for Hindu Nationalism in India

    THE SAFFRON WAVE MEETS THE SILENT REVOLUTION: WHY THE POOR VOTE FOR HINDU NATIONALISM IN INDIA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Tariq Thachil August 2009 © 2009 Tariq Thachil THE SAFFRON WAVE MEETS THE SILENT REVOLUTION: WHY THE POOR VOTE FOR HINDU NATIONALISM IN INDIA Tariq Thachil, Ph. D. Cornell University 2009 How do religious parties with historically elite support bases win the mass support required to succeed in democratic politics? This dissertation examines why the world’s largest such party, the upper-caste, Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has experienced variable success in wooing poor Hindu populations across India. Briefly, my research demonstrates that neither conventional clientelist techniques used by elite parties, nor strategies of ideological polarization favored by religious parties, explain the BJP’s pattern of success with poor Hindus. Instead the party has relied on the efforts of its ‘social service’ organizational affiliates in the broader Hindu nationalist movement. The dissertation articulates and tests several hypotheses about the efficacy of this organizational approach in forging party-voter linkages at the national, state, district, and individual level, employing a multi-level research design including a range of statistical and qualitative techniques of analysis. In doing so, the dissertation utilizes national and author-conducted local survey data, extensive interviews, and close observation of Hindu nationalist recruitment techniques collected over thirteen months of fieldwork. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Tariq Thachil was born in New Delhi, India. He received his bachelor’s degree in Economics from Stanford University in 2003.

    Asian Journal of Peacebuilding Vol. 6 No. 2 (2018): 335-351 Research Note Fifty-One Years of Naxalite-Maoist Insurgency in India: Examining the Factors that Have Influenced the Longevity of the Conflict Eric Scanlon The Naxalite-Maoist uprising in India has for fifty-one years continued almost unabated. Today Maoist rebels have a substantial presence in at least ten of India’s twenty-nine states and the Indian government has repeatedly stated that it remains the most potent threat to stability that the Indian state faces. This research note examines the existing literature and local primary sources to explore the economic, social, and military factors that have influenced the longevity of this conflict. It details how a fifty-one year conflict has continued almost unmitigated in a country that has the military might that India commands. Keywords India, Naxalites, Maoism, conflict, longevity Introduction May 2018 marked the fifty-first anniversary of the peasant revolt in a little village called Naxalbari, in the Indian state of West Bengal. What seemed like a local uprising soon spread rapidly throughout India and took on a Marxist and Maoist character. As the uprising began in Naxalbari, the insurgents were nicknamed Naxalites, a name which has stuck to this day. The Maoist rebellion has continued almost unabated and today Maoist rebels have a significant presence in ten of India’s twenty-nine states (Ministry of Home Affairs 2016). At the height of the Naxalite rebellion in the 2000s it is estimated that they controlled nearly 10 million hectares of mainly forested land. This accounted for about one-seventh of the total forested land in India (Ahuja and Ganguly 2007).
