JaiRamesh2 Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/home-ministry-to-name-its-naxal-wing-as-left-wing-extremism-division-537324 New Delhi: Days after assuming power, the Narendra Modi government has decided to change the name of its Naxal wing to Left Wing Extremism division. The decision has been taken after discussions with all stakeholders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh. 'Naxal' being a very restricted term, the new government wants to give a much broader nomenclature, a senior Home Ministry official said today. A notification to this effect is likely to be issued within a few days. Meanwhile, the government has decided to send 10,000 additional paramilitary personnel to Chhattisgarh to augment the forces deployed there. There are around 40,000 paramilitary forces currently deployed in Chhatisgarh. Finally an apt label to one of the greatest dangers to Indian democracy.

jalebi_bhai Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Can somebody define left & right wing extremism? Why cant the two be merged? extremism in any form is dangerous Left wing extremism is often associated with Anarchy and Libertarianism......both ideologies being anti-establishment and very individual centric..... Right wing extremism would be associated with Fascism.... And yea.....I agree....there should be a single ministry to deal with political extremists....
