In her speech, Arundhati Roy claimed that Kashmir had never been an integral part of India. She also described the struggle in Kashmir as a struggle for justice. Her speech is notable for linking the struggle in Kashmir with the struggles elsewhere in India. She said: “So often the Indian government, the Indian state, the Indian elite, they accuse the naxalites of believing in protracted war, but actually you see a state – the Indian state – that has waged protracted war against its own people or what it calls its own people relentlessly since 1947, and when you look at who are those people that it has waged war against – the Nagas, the Mizos, the Manipuris, people in Assam, Hyderabad, Kashmir, Punjab – it's always a minority, the Muslims, the Tribals, the Christians, the Dalits, the Adivasis, endless war by an upper-caste Hindu state, this is what is the modern history of our country.”

The power establishment (upper caste Hindus – only 5% of India’s total population) that really runs the affairs of this country (it is not Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh or Rahul Gandhi) does not want to expose the Hindutva terrorists. One example is the blasts in Samjhauta Express, which the IB said was carried out by Pakistan’s ISI. a report in The Times of India that said, “the Centre had blamed the ISI on the basis of the IB’s findings.” However, during a narco-analysis test under Karkare, Lt. Col. Purohit had admitted having supplied the RDX used in the blast. The IB, which draws its power from its proximity to the Prime Minister (its director briefs the PM every morning for half an hour), did not want Karkare’s investigation that blew the cover off the IB’s shenanigans, to continue. “Brahminist” network that has its origins in Maharashtra, and is closely knit across political parties, government services, including IB, and other vital sectors of life is behind the terror that seeks to destroy the secular, democratic state. india is an upper caste hindu state ( as stated by arundhati roy) only rich ( Upper caste Hindus)are getting richer and the facts show number of poor people living in india are larger than the poor living in 26 African countries together.

while 57 per cent of GDP is being "consumed" by about one per cent of the total population ( upper caste hindus mainly) Its just media hype which potrays that india is developing since the media is also controlled by this upper caste hindu group. Upper caste Hindu corporate and upper cast Hindu fascist organizations (RSS/ BJP, VHP etc) have hijacked this country not just Kashmir’s infact 95% indians need azadi from this criminal nexus. On the same day British left India it again became an imperialistic country the British replaced by the upper caste Hindus. It’s the right time that Tribals, Dalits, OBcs Naxilits, Moists, Kashmiris and minorities ( Christians, Muslims and Sikhs) fight together for the injustice and oppression ( As rightly said by Arundhati roy). The biggest achievement of the brahiminists is to label whole 250 Million Indian Muslims as terrorists and Christians as spies of west also by offering reservations to dalits, obcs, BCs so that they cannot leave the fascist cult (Brahmanism/ Hinduism) and convert to any other religion offering equality.

Just another reason to give up J & K. What do Maoist Want.. They are fed up with no fruits of devlopment reaching them in last 60 years. They want to kill congress
Naxal issue is a rather big threat compared to J&K issue. It is like an iceberg. The day it will surface out completely, probably the situation will be out of control. The whole vertical belt south of Nepal needs to be focussed.
