They don't really have an option,kinda hard not to profess your love for them when they are the ones wielding guns,not you,wouldn't you say? Also,the Naxalite movement today is a far,far cry from what it originally set out to do in Naxalbari....

I don't think it's that simple. Without local support, a guerilla force fighting against the establishment would not survive. Also, it is not possible for them to threaten everyone-the simple fact that a "red corridor" exists in India today is a testament of the trust and support enjoyed by these Naxalite groups among those at the lowest economic rung of Indian society. Until the government takes action to alleviate poverty among the tribals and adivasis and stop their exploitation at the hands of rich landowners, they will continue to flock to the Naxalites. Violence, especially organised violence targeted at the Indian state does not achieve anything. The government needs to talk to the Naxalites and find out ways to address their grievances, not try and crush their movement with military force, as this will only exacerbate the problem.

I don't understand your comment,lots of people in Punjab dislike the Congress' role in the militancy days of Punjab,does that mean they support Khalistan?

Exactly my point. Don't put labels on someone just because he holds a point of view contrary to yours. Try to understand why he holds that point of view and then conduct a debate. It is easy to label someone as "communist" or "traitor" or "Khalistani" and thus negate everything they're saying.
