This too is terrorism like 26/11

It's confusion worst confounded. If 26/11 was an act of terrorism then what do we term the Maoist derailment of Howrah-Mumbai Gnaneswari Express on May 28, 2010? More than 200 passengers severely injured and over a 100 dead. The Nation refuses to forget 26/11 or forgive the accused. Why is the death of civilians aboard the Gnaneswari Express eliciting such a muted expression of rage from the Nation?
The perpetrators of 26/11 came from across the border, indoctrinated to believe that they were fighting a just war for Allah. In short they were foreigners on Indian soil with scant understanding of the country's social, cultural, political or religious ethos. They killed with impunity and without regret. What about those who plotted the derailment of Gnaneswari Express? Our very own countrymen broadly and popularly known as Maoists/Naxalites understood to be fighting for the rights of the adivasis. So theirs was not a brainwashed act of violence against a foreign people. It was more cold-blooded and calculated an assault against those they knew to be innocent. Their crime, therefore, is graver and more reprehensible.
The government's sanctimonious talks about not using the military against it's own people sound so hollow as buses are blown up and hospitals looted by Maoists with an aim to have their demands met through terror. If what Kasab did decrees that he be hanged till death, then the massacre by Maoists, in the name of social justice, demands no less.
