‘Offensive against Maoists will only affect tribal people’
Staff Reporter
BANGALORE: “Operation Greenhunt will only escalate violence in the tribal areas,” said historian and sociologist Ramachandra Guha referring to the Union Government’s planned offensive against the Maoists.
The author of ‘India After Gandhi’, said that some way had to be found for dialogue between the Maoists and the state. While warning the audience not to romanticise the Maoists, Mr. Guha cautioned that the real losers in this would be the tribal people, as they are “simply sacrificial goats” in this battle between the state and the Maoists.
Mr. Guha was speaking at a convention titled ‘The war within: the Maoists, the tribals and the state’, organised by a student group called Concern, at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc.) here on Saturday.
