Why did you join the Ranvir Sena?
I have only got three bighas of land. Besides that I used to run my own timber business. The Maale people (the CPI-ML (Liberation)) demanded Rs 40,000 from me. When I refused, they clamped nake-bandi (economic blockade) on my farm. Then I decided to take revenge.
You kill even children and pregnant women.
Yes, we kill the women because they give birth to Naxalites; when the children grow up they become Naxalites and kill us. They (the lower caste people) give shelter to the Naxalites. In Bara and Dalelchak Baghaura,
they killed 53 Rajputs. We are farmers but we've decided that if they kill two of us, we will ruin their whole khandaan (clan); we will kill 15 of them (starts humming).
Will they surrender to you?
Ee sab Chamaar, Dusadh, Dom maanega to aiyse hi maanega. (This is the way to teach these Chamaars, Dusadhs and Doms a lesson). They not only shelter the Naxalites but also refuse to work in our fields.
How many armed members are you?
In total we have 5,066 armed jawans. Each carries a semi-automatic rifle. We are capable of fighting even the Army.
You have AK-47s and LMGs.
Why LMGs? We also have four MMGs which can fire 1,000 bullets in a series.
Do you get paid by the Sena?
Each armed jawan gets Rs 2,000 per month. Besides, all have been insured for Rs 2 lakh each. But I don't take even a single paisa; I have no insurance policy either.
