I grew up in #OsmaniaUniversity from my school level onwards. I have seen how PDSU and RSU, student union fronts for naxal groups going about brainwashing students, some of whom were brilliant engineers. #Marx & #Mao were bandied about as the best things that happened to mankind.
Many of these students were indoctrinated into what was then called CPI (ML) People's War Group led by Kondapalli Seetharamaiah. The heady romance of gun and revolution was an abyss into which these unfortunate souls were sucked into. It was a point of no return for many of them.
OU, Kakatiya University and REC Warangal were perfect recruiting grunds for naxal outfits. Many students who came from poor families had witnessed how the rich zamindars had subjected their parents to humiliation. That was the sales pitch which the naxal recruiters worked on.

~Ma0ists got 50-60 houses in the Tekulguda village EMPTIED. This ws WELL planned.
How did no one notice that an entire VILLAGE hd moved out??
Houses wr emptied so that soldiers who rush to safety fall straight into Ma0ist trap in village.

Ma0ists got enough time to lay land mines, to prepare their desi rockets, and move out villagers.
Question is-- how did we miss so many things?
Either there's not enough means to gather intel or someone ignored the INTEL.

#Karnatakatrail: Dusk on a Dec evening found me exploring the Bahmani tomb complex at a village called Holkonda, north of Gulbarga. Structures here being swallowed by the vegetation.
#Karnatakatrail: The fort at Gulbarga, being gradually swallowed by vegetation. Rusting cannons, crumbling walls. A difficult task for the resource-strapped ASI.
#Karnatakatrail: Unlike neighbouring #Bijapur where stepwells, pleasure pavilions have survived, Gulbarga is dotted with tombs, which are literally everywhere. Like ghosts of a forgotten past! This huge structure looms up in a residential area called Santraswadi.
