I have not been able to get this image out of my head. I have been trying to forget this... but tell me, should I really forget it?
8 maoists had been killed in a police encounter on 16 June in West Bengal, Midnapore. Seen in the image - security personnel carrying the dead body of one rebel. a maoist. a woman. a human being. Did I give you enough key words? were you able to understand what the image is about?
Yes. you have to read the words to believe that its a human dead body that is being taken away by two other human beings.
I thought we are Indians. we treat animals better than that, dont we?
Though only 8 bodies were recovered, the officials suspect more were killed. The maoists are said to have carried away atleast 4 more bodies while fleeing. Yes, they are believed to have carried 4 dead human beings while they were fighting for their own lives.
Maoist rebels hardly ever leave behind their dead comrades, reports a website.
To me, they do not sound like the people who are capable of killing hundreds of civilians. A person carrying away a dead person risking his own life - in my dictionary, is 'sensitive'. What makes these people who have so much respect even for their dead to kill and slaughter other people?
Killing is bad. I have been taught. I am not capable of killing. But then, I have never been pushed off the brink of my existence. How can I even talk about understanding this sect of people. Would I ever turn to be capable of killing if I get oppressed the way this class of people are oppressed? Would you? Do I know the answer to this question? Do you?

Sad! I know! :(
you saw avtar? well, imagine the pandora guys to be maoists.. or atleast that's how they started.. it's their land, their life, their fight.. they have no choice but to kill or be killed..
hmm, real sad. the other sad thing is, even if you want to know more about them, there is not much literature available, which makes them even more of a puzzling sect of people to those who do not know of their struggle
