Re: Indian Economy: News and Discussion (June 8 2008)

Re: The Red Menace

It is unfortunate that the left-liberal media continuously suppresses any movement (e.g. Salwa Judum) to counter the Naxalites. As a rare exception, the Hindu published an article by Ravi Shankar Prasad about his take on Naxal menace and Chhattisgarh elections. See http://www.hindu.com/2009/01/14/st...
