Operation Green Hunt

For more than a month now, the central government has gone on the offensive terming 'Maoists' as the greatest threat to internal security. As Arundhati Roy puts it quite succinctly, the Indian State needs an enemy to move away attention from it policies of selling out to the Corporatocracy. And has chosen the defenseless, voiceless, powerless tribals as the pawns in this monstrous game of power play.

The electronic media for its part has gone on a hysterical frenzy in creating an 'enemy' to suit the state. It is 'manufacturing consent' as Naom Chomsky calls it for the actions of the State and refuses to show an ounce of responsibility or accountability.

What is the Operation Green Hunt all about? This blog will take a look at the proverbial other side of the coin by focusing on the alternative points of views of people's organisations, social movements and socially conscious people.
