Maoism or terrorism -- which is a bigger threat for India?

Posted by IBNLive at 03:07 PM, Apr 09, 2010 in India
In the worst-ever Maoist attack on security forces, 75 CRPF personnel and a local policeman were killed in the forests of Dantewada early this week. Both the PM and the Home Minister have expressed the need to use the country's defence forces to take on the Maoists. Which is a bigger threat for India: Maoism or terrorism?


I suppose the question whether Maoism or terrorism is a bigger threat to India actually means to ask whether Islamic terrorism or Communist terrorism poses a bigger danger to India. It has to be accepted that India faces multiple threats to its existence and each such threat can by itself be disastrous for India. Therefore we have no choice but neutralize all threats without hair-splitting about lesser or greater dangers.
