Rein, If you are being affected then you have to speak. If I was from the village then I would have spoken or tried to do somethign about it. But i'm not from the villages. I'm from the valley and now I am speaking about it since it affects me. It's unfortunate that the people from the villages are not educated and they could not resist the maoists. But the people from the valley should join together to resist them before they take over our houses. Don't have a defeatist mentality. You have to think globally but you can only act locally.
