Is India an example of fake democracy?

Senior Consultant
After the massacre happened in Dantewada in Chhattisgarh,this event has forced me to think whether is India still an epitome of successful democracy or fake democracy.I can think of rights if I am standing on my feet in Greater Kailash in Delhi or Senapati Bapat Road in Pune or Marine Lines in Mumbai.If the same feet I put in nteriors of Chhattisgarh or Jhargram West Bengal,will I be thinking the same way.Seeing the condition in these area ,it persuades me to think whether the rise of Maoist rebellion is really unjustified.If some body is deprived the very basic needs like food , water and shelter in a democratic system for as long as 4 decades ,even a sensible man would lose its faith in demcracy system.

The same has happened with simple,peace loving tribal people of Chhattisgarh,West Benga,Orissa and some parts of Andra Pradesh.Why are we not seeing the root cause of rebellion.

In state like Chhattisgarh which is rich in good quality raw mineral, is being leached out by mining industries,resulting in the annhilation of the tribal people and depriving them the natural resources .Maoist rebellion is result of fear of annihilation among the tribals

Its totally imperative that growth of India is necessary and mandatory.But the bigger question is at what cost.

Are the tribals in India have enjoy the same rights as people like us who consider our selves as educated,enlightened and responsible citizen.Are'nt they the citizens of India.

When will our system recognize the very root cause of this issue? Will it take some more Dantewada events ,for the system to understand the ground reality?

The 76 CRPF solders who died in the massacre are martyrs, but they were slayed not by some foriegn terrorist organizations , but by our own citizens of this country.

If a mother has more than one kid and if she cares and adores one of them most of the times , the other siblings are bound to get rebellion as they are not getting fair share of caring and affectionate,which is their right.
