Dialogues from the teaser of Bastar

“Our 8,738 soldiers sacrificed their lives in the four wars fought with Pakistan, but do you know the Naxals have killed more than 15,000 soldiers in this country ? Our 76 soldiers were brutally killed by the Naxals in Bastar, and their deaths were celebrated at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in Delhi. Can you imagine how such a renowned university can even think of celebrating the deaths of our soldiers ? These Naxals are hatching plots in Bastar to divide India, and the leftists, liberals and pseudo-intellectuals from the big cities are helping them. I will shoot these leftists right in the middle of the road. Then you can hang me. I am IPS Officer Neerja Madhavan. Jai Hind.”
