Today, I saw the news on TV about the release of Vineel Krishna, District Collector of Malkangiri, Orissa. The news showed huge crowds standing outside the house of Collector, waiting for him to arrive..
It was reported, that when Vineel Krishna was abducted 7 days back, the shops were shut down and call of bandh was given. No leader was involved in coordinating the crowd. Crowd just spontaneously came together. Two days back,tribals planned to attack Maoists hideout where the collector was supposedly held. Vineel Krishna has been reportedly working deep inside the district and has changed the face of district by implementing various development schemes. Some people in the crowd were vociferous about the work Krishna has done in Malkangiri. The spontaneous support of the crowd clearly gave signal to Maoists that they are fast losing their support base.
The news also reported that the collector and the engineer were freed by Maoists because Government have released a Maoist on bail. If development is offered to people through what the collector has done, what can freed Maoists do really?
This is a lucid example of how terrorism can be fought. It is time that Americans learn from this. Instead of spending huge amount on warfare, they could achieve their objective at far lesser cost, if they do it in right way. Or may be, the way is known, but we ignore the right way because it takes far more effort and pain to stick to the right way!
