| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Naxalism is, undeniably, a law-and -order problem, but it is not that alone; the violence Naxalites often wreak is a virulent symptom, not the disease itself. And untill the government realises that, its remedies are doomed to failure. The state government's 22 June ban on the Naxalites following the outbreak in Bengal is a mere updating-the-books exercise, nothing more. Maoist groups had long been banned; it is only that the government had not taken cognisance of their merger into one group. |
