The climate is always extremely violent in southern Chhattisgarh in central India, a region where Maoist guerrillas are active. On 26 March, a crowd of police and former members of the militia Salwa Judum attacked the religious and non-violent activist Swami Agnivesh, when he went to Chintalnar, a village burned by paramilitaries early March.
Swami's car, who advocated a peaceful solution to the conflict between the government and Maoists was stoned while protesters shouted: "Where were you when the Maoists have killed 76 paramilitary last year?" Indian rapporteThe Express. The event actually seems to have been organized by local authorities.
Between 11 and 16 March, 350 members of the armed forces have fired three villages, burning about 300 houses as a warning to local tribals accused of sympathizing with the Maoist rebels.
