The Blind Man saga.. The girl who hoisted the Red Flag

Day -3
Blood lust

One more day passed by, when the Maoist have hoisted the red flag high up in the air. The red Corridor of blood lust is increasing ever so fast. No more the fight against the government is restricted to forests & villages. The smaller unknown peaceful towns on the border of the red corridor are the new decisive Battlegrounds and have been set as a perfect example of the inefficiency of the Government in tackling the insurgency.
More than the brutal deaths on either side, it is the constant threat of the apocalyptic future for the common man, that has made life miserable throughout the entire regions.
Survival in these trying times, across various ethnic groups, pose a major challenge for each individual family.
Yet the indomitable human spirit, fights on a guerilla war daily for the very reason to provide a secure and better future for the coming generation. The government cant sit back and afford to relax, as it has always done in the past. The actions must speak for itself. The Maoist fights for a change. A change that was supposed to have brought prosperity to the most backward and downtrodden of the society. Yet scams after scams have left nothing for them except to retaliate in the most inhuman way possible. The government the present and the past which had like a crippled puppet watching from the sidelines and consoling themselves that the threat is not immediate and is not possible on such grandeur scale, is now willing to draw these Maoist leaders to the discussion tables.
It remains to be seen how effective would that be, considering the inefficiency is profound & writ large on its face.
Whatever be the reason, the girl who was raped multiple times by the CRPF jawans, tied and hanged upside down, abused to the core of the human soul possible, is now rightly hoisting the Red Flag in the middle of the town square, marching over the dead soldiers, the  very same ones whose job was to protect her in the first place.

what an irony of life...
