contemporary Maoism and the question of choice

yesterday i was watching NDTV and Times Now's debates on recent killing of policemen by Maoists. It was irritating yet interesting to see how after each episode of such mass killings news anchor conduct the debate in similar fashion. In the panel on both the channels one common presence was of Dilip Simion. On Times Now, Kumar sanjay singh and Manoranjan Mohanti both spoke well but they were clearly lacking the smartness that was required in such tv debates. Dilip Simion was impressive and knew how to forcefully convince the anchor. I saw him on the tv second time. On both occasions he condemned any kinds of violence something that hs become the catchphrase of middle class intellectuals. One cant question this stand. However, the problem lies in the fact that this is nothing but another utopian rhetoric. We all kow that neither state nor anti-state forces(most of them) can adopt non-violence techniques. yet, we speak in the language of non-violence. Are we condemned to repeat this language because we love human life. We love non-violence as political strategy or way of life. But, is it not a ritual to repeat this language? are we not condemned to do so? This leads to the question of choice. rather the language of choice.
While panelists were speaking the NDTV displaced a map of ''red corridor'' and quickly the very large portion of indian map was coloured in red. Is this struggle really against the state or is it against government? Looking at it in historical terms we may draw similar maps and colour red may bear similar spread no matter which historical juncture we may place the map. The only difference ( and which may be a crucial one) would be in the definitions of state and anti-state actors at different historical contexts.
In a human society, non violence is highest form of desire the question is what kind of pragmatic moves should we make to achieve this desire even partially. We also need to ask whether non-violence is a viable choice in non-peasant societies? Similarly, governance do need exercise of power, authority and violence.
