Complicates things, doesn't it?

"The idea of a "compact revolutionary zone" across a significant swathe of South Asia may, at the present juncture, seem somewhat fantastical, but the diffuse networks of existing violence constitute a very serious challenge for security planners in India and Nepal. Any effective strategy to deal with the growing and increasingly interlinked networks of Maoist extremism in the region demands improved operational coordination between the two countries to counter a subversive, complex and immensely disruptive maze of individuals, groups and ideologies."

It is as if the Maoists have greater regional coordination than the free marketeers!
