I finished reading Arundhati Roy and wish to quote an article by Neelotpal Basu CPI(M) in today,s DNA. I agree with most of the things said by Basu. However, the Maoists started their activities in WB when CPM came to power. Though the strength of the movement came down in WB and in Kerala the same spread to other states. Gadachiroli in Maharashtra is very near o the city of Mumbai. I also quote another article from Ajitha the ex-maoist from Kerals. She is the daughter of kunnickal Narayanan about whom I noted in my autobiography.
