According to Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero, who was consul in 63 BCE, “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.” However, it cannot withstand internal disloyalty. An adversary at the gates is less powerful since he is well-known and flaunts his banner. However, the traitor roams freely among those inside the gate, his cunning murmurs resonating through all the alleys and even reaching the government’s own halls. Because the traitor doesn’t look like a traitor; he speaks in dialects that his victims are accustomed to, adopts their appearance and ideas, and plays on the baseness that all people harbor deep inside. He rots a nation’s soul, works covertly and undetected at night to undermine the city’s pillars, and infects the body politic to the point where it can no longer resist. A murderer is less frightening.” India is dealing with the same issue of naxalism, including urban naxalism. Though the number of Naxal-affected districts has been reduced to 38 from 126 in 2014. The central government plans to eliminate the network by 2026. However, Marcus Cicero’s statements describe the greatest threat of Urban Naxalism. We as a society and nation have suffered greatly as a result of this toxic mindset or ideology. They are now brainwashing people against the ‘Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill, 2024’, which is really beneficial to those who are protesting or expressing dissent on social media platforms.
How do urban naxals function within their network, and who are they?
Urban Naxals, a phrase that has gained popularity in recent years, refer to individuals and organizations in urban areas that sympathize with, support, or actively assist with the Maoist insurgency. Urban Naxals and Maoists pose a threat to India’s internal security and have numerous supporters in hostile countries, with whom we have been fighting a proxy war for many years. These Urban Naxals and Maoists, much like a global business behemoth looking to buy out local competition, are ideal conduits for furthering their assault against India. These urban sympathizers are pseudo intelligent, well-spoken, and pose as social workers, academics, or human rights advocates. But their real goal is to destabilize the country by enlisting young, gullible brains and disseminating Maoist propaganda. Several frontal organizations and student wings are leading this recruitment effort, according to the NIA’s study. These organizations prey on students’ idealism and fragility in colleges and universities. They indoctrinate pupils with radical beliefs by posing as social justice advocates, pushing them to oppose the government and adopt a violent, rebellious lifestyle.
Whatever anti-India protests chants, and violence we see in campuses are largely the result of urban naxals influencing students. Such brainwashing undermines the social, economic, and cultural growth of society and the nation. These Naxalites, with the help of global deep state market forces, reject everything that is pro-nation and favorable to the international masters and financiers for whom they work for selfish reasons. They only need to stoke divisions like caste disputes, Kashmiri separatism, and the Khalistani movement, which is strangely mostly being spread by non-resident Indians on platforms like social media, mainstream media, and campus chitchat. Before you know it, there will be enough self-radicalization to completely destroy India from within.
Even their followers and cadres, as well as the vast majority of people in Maoist-affected areas, have little doctrinal connection to Maoism. They are only irate, alienated individuals who feel oppressed, indignified, and unfairly treated. Maoists deftly take advantage of this sentiment; for example, caste disputes in Bihar, animosity toward landlords in Andhra Pradesh, dissatisfaction with forest laws in tribal areas, youth unemployment, and Muslim radicalism are all prescribed as means of gaining power through the use of firearms. There is a pressing need to raise public understanding of the ultimate goals and repercussions of what the radicals stand for, even as local complaints must be properly resolved through better administration and brutal responsibility.
Maoists also try to take advantage of the natural fault lines that come with urbanization. According to seized documents, “Survey” is the first phase in the urban mobilization campaign. This step entails examining urban landscapes according to their geographic profile, including whether they serve an industrialized or underdeveloped hinterland; changes in the makeup of the workforce; a close examination of linguistic and religious minorities; economic disparities within cities; and the processes involved in ghettoization, as these are potential breeding grounds for their recruits, whom they can easily brainwash to work against the interests of the Indian state.
In recent years, there has been student unrest on many college campuses. A protest against the union government in the name of democratic values and constitutional principles unites all of these institutes that have been converted into battlegrounds. A closer examination shows that the government does not repress “democratic principles.” But a picture has been painted that way. By actively participating in or lending support to these protests, some faculty members also attempted to intensify them. The average person was left to ponder, “How did students turn anti-India?” “Why are all these institutes suddenly in trouble?”
At the first sign of intimidation, they will spit venom and entice democracy with their dirty hearts. They are a holdover from the British, who had excellent education but little social awareness. They have a western perspective, and every domestic issue is viewed from the perspective of western society. Their final tactic is to paint a dismal picture of society because they believe in the nation’s doomsday prophesy. They only believe in feelings; they don’t believe in statistics, facts, or data. They want to demolish India because they believe that China and Western civilization represent the ideal of a utopian world, which they believe India can never be.
They may boost recruitment for Naxalite organizations by giving ideological rationale and logistical assistance, ultimately increasing the insurgent movement. Although urban Naxals are not actively involved in armed warfare, their actions can spark violence, riots, and civil unrest, destabilizing metropolitan regions. The discourse surrounding urban Naxals can deepen political polarization, causing societal divisions and potentially compromising democratic processes. The government’s response to urban Naxals frequently creates human rights concerns, including claims of arbitrary arrests and dissent repression, which can lead to broader public unrest.
The urban Naxals are in charge of providing the jungle Naxals with logistical and financial support. exploiting societal flaws and inciting both violent and nonviolent protests by organizing large crowds to undermine the system from within. supplying legal assistance to the Naxalites who have been apprehended. In addition, the system is being forced in the guise of human rights. attracting new members who may support the Naxal struggle either militarily or intellectually by spreading the story. Since members of trade unions and educational institutions are easily swayed to join the Naxal movement, this is accomplished by placing persons in these organizations. Another method they undermine the system is by placing their individuals in positions of authority in the political, legal, and bureaucratic spheres. The most risky is posing as journalists in order to uphold and further the Naxal narrative. Additionally, it misrepresents nationalist, anti-terrorism, and anti-Naxal forces.
These largely Western-educated hypocrites who support the ideologies of Marks, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and China are working to continuously undermine India’s sovereignty and statehood in order to cause the struggling nation, which has 140 crore people with a great deal of diversity and almost 40 crore non-Hindus, to lose its equilibrium and devolve into a disordered state. Therefore, they seriously harm the health of our country. These urban naxals are pursuing a variety of goals, including dividing people by region, language, and religion, as well as opposing Hindus and other religious groups.
The “urban Naxal movement” is more hazardous than “conventional Naxalites,” according to Jayant Umranikar, a former Director General (Special Operations) in the Maharashtra Police. “These minds sit at home, [on] the sofa, sip coffee and instigate young minds to wage war against the government machinery, and this is more harmful,” The Sterlite Copper factory was permanently shut down as a result of protests by Marxists, urban Naxalites, and a foreign lobby. Their main goal was to destabilize India’s prosperity. The government was forced to bow down and shut down the industry because the protests were so well-planned and well-funded. The nation is suffering greatly in terms of GDP and economic development as a result of urban and violent naxalism, which has a negative impact on employment and commercial opportunities.
Conclusion
It is a right time for our youngsters and the entire society to become conscious of the toxic nexus that exists within and around us. It is a slow poison that weakens the society and destabilizes the nation. It stifles socioeconomic and cultural growth, making the nation the worst performer on these metrics. Let us become more conscious and awake in order to confront these enemies of humanity.
