#1 Making sure people had clean water to drink and food to eat would do wonders against the Commies.

#2 Gromky, what makes you think they don't? What makes you think it would make any difference even if that was the problem?

#3 The fewer problems someone has, the less likely they're willing to lose what they have by fighting the government. Most of the Naxels are nothing but ideologically-united bandits, and the unity is pretty loose. One major improvement the government can implement that will have an almost immediate effect is improving transportation. It's extremely difficult to get to anywhere but the local village in this part of India. Building and maintaining good roads would not only allow the Indian military to move more freely through the area, but would also open up the area for more trade. Even the Brits didn't move very well in that part of India.
