Story of Salwa Judum: A Tribute to Mahendra Karma Ji
What happen last night in Bastar (CG) was sad & shocking. My sympathy is with VC Shukla, Uday, Patel & all other people/ Police jawans who sacrificed their life or get injured. But killing of Shri Mahendra Karma is a type of personal loss for me.
I noticed him in late 2005, when his creation Salwa Judum was spreading a light of hope in badly Naxal affected areas of Bastar, Sukma & Dantewada. Although his first movement against Naxals was started in 1991 named Jan Jagran Abhiyan, was not a big success. But this time He was more focused & determined to control naxals. Being a resident of Bihar, I always hate the Armed (So called Social) revolution by these Anti National Naxalites. In Bihar we have seen the impact & contribution of Ranveer Sena in countering Naxalites, which was quite successful. In CG the same concept was formulated by Late Shri Karma but the difference was that his creation Salwa Judum was not any Under ground force like Ranveer Sena. He started Salwa Judum in a Social Movement form.
Then Govt changed; Dr Raman Singh took the charge; he taken Salwa Judum to next step which was distribution of Arms & ammunition among those Salwa Judum Volunteers. This was a game changer move by BJP Govt. Suddenly Naxalites were forced to pull step back & the almost shifted in AP & Orissa which are adjoining state borders. On the same time Garh Chirauli (Maharastra) started suffering for this viral naxal infection. Reason was same. Neither GoI nor these Sate govt were capable to handle these extreme cruel naxalites. CG remain silent for rest 3-4 years. No major incident happen which can boost up naxal morals.
The Chhattisgarh state Police employs tribal youths as SPOs (Special Police Officers), which were essentially 4,000 youth, both ex-Naxalites and those drawn from Salwa Judum camps in the Bastar region, who were paid an honorarium of Rs 1,500 (Rs 3000 in 2011) per month by the state government, were trained by with mostly .303 rifles. In Feb 2009, the Supreme Court in India declared such arming of civilians illegal.
In 2008, there were 23 Salwa Judum camps in Bijapur and Dantewara districts of Bastar region where almost 50,000 tribals from over 600 villages had settled.
Naxalites were struggling in holding any type of influence there.
This is really an irony that Rapist talks about Human Right of another Rapist.
My Salutation to the Great Soul of Late Mahendra Karma Ji. May you rest in peace. Mahendra Karma Salwa Judum
I noticed him in late 2005, when his creation Salwa Judum was spreading a light of hope in badly Naxal affected areas of Bastar, Sukma & Dantewada.

Now, may be some people will say that Salwa Judum, a open system was better than Ranveer Sena. But I am not convinced. To understand this, you should look at the background. In Bihar, Naxalites were getting help from Laloo led govt. So ppl had no hope from Police or administration. But in CG there was a Congress Govt. I will not say that Jogi govt was competent in handling Naxalites but I must thank him for NOT interrupting Karma.
Then Govt changed; Dr Raman Singh took the charge; he taken Salwa Judum to next step which was distribution of Arms & ammunition among those Salwa Judum Volunteers. This was a game changer move by BJP Govt. Suddenly Naxalites were forced to pull step back & the almost shifted in AP & Orissa which are adjoining state borders.

Then some White painted so called Respected Citizens of India whose profession varies but ideology is same, came together & filled a PIL in Hon SC. Hon SC declared Salwa Judum as non ethical & this great social revolution, the empowering movement of Tribals shut down.
I know some people will say that use of Arms by civilians was wrong but they will die to justify the use of ammunition by Naxalites is much ethical. They will surely talk about violation of Human Rights in countering Naxalism. In my 29 years of age I am unable to understand Why only Murderers, Rapists, Terrorists or Naxalites deserve Human Right benefits? Why No Human Right Activist talk on same when CRPF, Police jawans get killed brutally or when Naxalites uses full brutal methods against villegers who refuse to support them?? Why this selectiveness? Are our Jawans not Human??
For me every person or group who is working to divide India, are enemy. Whether its JK Terrorists, SIMI, JuD, ULFA or Naxalites. And I support the use of full force against these cowards who know only one thing - Hit & Run. Let a open battle take place & May our Armed forces kill every one of them from all over India. Amen!!!!
In last, for my Communist frnds, who always talks about Human Rights, I just want them to recall the Protection of Human Rights at Tienanmen Square!!!!!
This is really an irony that Rapist talks about Human Right of another Rapist.
