    India faced with stark choices
     
    The arrests of  5  senior activists on 28 August 2018 and the searches conducted on the homes of other well known Activists is a premonition of things to come.   It is evident that the Modi Government is now trying to play on fears of a deep rooted Maoist conspiracy to shore up its fast eroding electoral fortunes. “Urban Naxals”, have been conjured up from the Deep State’s copious magic hat. “Naxalites” is a term that is used to denote tribal Maoists engaged in armed opposition activities in Central India. The ragtag Maoist Peoples Liberation Army is now sought to be portrayed as the greatest threat to Modi and his vision of a corporate India.
