It is quite confusing to understand your comments to the argument.
you are calling maioist simply as resistance movement.
let me make one thing clear–plese try to understand that Tribal resitance need not be the same as Maoist resistance. Have they ever been vocal about stopping violence on the condition that state brings in development. they demand that development be under their supervision with all the knowledge that this state won’t allow any such space.
also you people are talking as if armed revolution is the only way to challenge and overthrow the existing state.
can any one of you give me an example of armed revolution of tribals being successful in overthrowing a well established developing capitalist state.
and do you also think that talibans and alqaedas are revolutionary organisations in the struggle against imperialism….
if you are going to say that India is only a semi-colonial comprador bourgeoisie state. sorry the argument stops here….
please try to be self ritical when you

Dear Asit,
brilliant response…..i agree with your point that unless structural reasons for violence and capitlaism are interrogated resistance movements do not have any otheroption but to resort to violence…..i would like you to expand on the legal frame mentioned in passing in your response.

can some one answer maneka
im not commenting on the politics of maoists but the whole qestion of voilence and non voilence can any one give an example from history where the rulers have voluntarily gave up pwoer to an alternative egalitarian order should we dismiss the storming of the bastle because it was voilent
human nature is against voilence but to have a nonvoilent society the structural reasons which gives rise to voilence have to be removed
to be honest strictly speaking in a legal frame is it possible to socialise means of production with out state intervention
is it p[ossible to change the heart of capitalists
