Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) pamphlet issued recently by Sahyadri, ‘secretary’ of Maharashtra State Committee of CPI-Maoist has invited Maratha community to join the Maoist armed struggle and take to the path of revolution to achieve their goal, reports The New Indian Express on June 13. Sahyadri, believed by Senior Police officials to be an alias for underground senior CPI-Maoist leader Milind Teltumbde, however, has stated that reservation hasn’t brought equality and justice to the socially backward communities for whom it was originally designed and hence may not benefit even the Marathas. Sahyadri also pointed out that the community was still lagging behind when Maharashtra has been ruled mostly by leaders of the Maratha community. This is because they have also served the interest of imperialists and capitalists. These Maratha leaders are only responsible for the current deprivation of the community.
