In the past few months I have listened intently for a sign that would suggest even a slight step toward the end of the atrocities being committed by the Maoists. Being away from home, it is difficult to contemplate the emotions that have a stronghold over the general population. But it is physically and mentally debilitating to go through your routine with a certainty that nothing you do will help, at least not until the country undergoes through enormous reforms. We are at a stage where the general public cannot do anything but anticipate.
Perhaps a wave of opinionated citizens will incite some efficient response from the government, which has more or less utterly failed in its attempts to reconcile this problem. No credit goes to the Maoists either?talk about brains going to waste! How a civil war will improve the state of our nation is beyond my comprehension. With the tactics being used we are getting nowhere and will gain nothing.
