#naxals

Proportionate to people’s resistance, the state’s repressive interventions have also been increasing. A small state like Jharkhand has several hundreds of young men and women in its prisons accused as Maoists/Naxals. Any young man/woman who openly expresses dissent to what the state is doing can be labelled as a ‘Naxal’ and thrown into jail. It is becoming increasingly difficult for a young man to live peacefully in his village: either he would be approached by local Naxals to join them; if he declines to join them, he might be liable to be beaten up or eliminated by labelling him as a ‘police informer’; or the police would pounce on him sooner or later calling him a ‘Naxal’ or ‘Naxal-sympathizer/helper’ to be picked up and thrown behind bars. This precarious situation causes many young men to want to get away from such situations of insecurity, at least for a while, and to try and earn something for his family. Hence, they come to the southern states of India in waves.
