R.K. Raghavan has a neat review of a newly-released book entitled, THE CRIMSON AGENDA ? Maoist Protest and Terror.
He writes at length of the stranglehold that the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-M) has gained over most parts of that strategically located Himalayan kingdom.We in India cannot be complacent over this unfortunate turn of events in a neighbouring country, because there is more than a hint of Beijing’s support to the movement.
More disturbing is the link that the CPN (M) has established with the MCC and the PW, two parties with considerable prowess on the ground in Bihar, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
Unchecked, this unholy nexus could endanger law and order in a region where peace is already fragile. There is information that the three groups have exchanged knowledge on guerrilla warfare and techniques of bomb manufacture.
The review in itself is a commendable piece of work: in a span of a few paragraphs, the reviewer gives the history that the author has taken hundreds of pages to write! All right, that’s putting it very simplistically
Needless to say, I’ll buy it…
