A recent meeting organized by the Citizens Initiative for Peace at Constitution Club in New Delhi...a few businesspeople also attended...to learn about different aspects of the Naxal-Maoist insurgency and the government’s counter-insurgency operations...What caught one businessman’s ear...were the narratives of people who have been serially brutalized by feudal landlords, operations of private companies and governments... what can we do?...Joint fact-finding and action involving leaders of the private sector, social activists, academics and bureaucrats could play a historic role...We could seek answers to some basic questions:...What is the extent of displacement where people are being evicted without adequate compensation and rehabilitation?...What new business models would create win-win situations for people, the environment and business?...Some companies have gained, financially and socially, by respecting local people’s right to say “no”. Why are such examples not being highlighted and replicated in India?
