Sixty-one Maoist insurgents, including Communist Party of India (Maoist) politburo member Mallojula Venugopal Rao alias Sonu alias Bhupathi, laid down arms and surrendered before Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday at the Gadchiroli district police headquarters.
These Maoists include two Maoist state zonal committee members, 10 divisional committee members, and cadres from Maharashtra as well as Chhattisgarh. They handed over 54 weapons, including seven AK-47s, six self-loading rifles (SLRs) and six INSAS rifles. A few months ago, Rao's wife Vimala Sidam alias Tarakka, who was also a Maoist leader, had surrendered to the police.

However, as with the post-earthquake discussions, people's responses tend to follow prior assumptions about how Nepal works. The biggest challenge is not to generate more ‘hot takes’ but to listen, understand what happened and why, and to question our assumptions about Nepal and Nepali politics, starting from the point of what and who we don’t know, instead of what we think we already do.
