Came across two articles in Tehelka
This piece talks about courageous journey of 2 journalists into the depths of Chhatisgadh. An area called "Abujmarh". This is an area which is remained hidden from the Google Maps and the Government for decade. Read the findings.
This second piece talks about the aftermath of the journey. What laid in the store for the journalists.
What is amusing is the fact that this wasn't covered by any leading newspapers except a small coverage in The Indian Express and The Hindu. But they too only explored the Security Forces side of the story.
And why should anyone care for the tribal in India ? Anyways they're out of fashion.

Feel sad for the journalists... the few people who have the courage to find the truth end up facing disaster.
Btw add a fourth - Tribals vs Maoists vs India govt vs Salwa Judum
This Maoist issue is so complex and multi-layered. I have been trying to follow this for the past 3-4 years now. However I am yet to completely fathom who is at fault. Everyone seems correct in their own right and every party seems to be at fault at some point.
yeah, Salva Judum is a quasi entity which is half Government, half Tribal.
Whatever the truth is- it is well hidden from most of India.
