The only reason that the state government of Orissa and the Centre for that matter are intervening in the attempts to free district collector R V Krishna, a 2005 batch IAS officer, from Maoists rebels in Malkangiri is because he belongs to a species known as the IAS officer.
Had been a single small time official or some tribals or policemen will the government deal with the case in such a way.
No. It won't.
There are different parameters for even being a person in this country. And an IAS officer stands at the top along with his political teammates. The Orissa or Odisha (whatever you like) government and the Central government have bent over backwards to accommodate the demand of some bandits in a forested area that is being dominated by them for lack of the courage in our political establishment to take them on. They are apparently giving into all 14 demands made by the Naxalites. that's the might of the Indian state for you.
The same amount of zeal was also shown by our mighty government when the daughter of our Home Minister was abducted couple of decades ago. Was she really abducted? Only the persons freed will know the details or the one confined by the alleged separatists.
