Actually, it was in 1996 that Badarna recruited Hidma into the Maoist group. Badarna explains intimately about his recruitment within the Naxalite group after which reaching the Central Committee. Hidma, who was recruited within the Naxalite group on the age of 16, got here to Maoist group. On this query, Badarna says, ‘At the age of 16, the village state committee of Maoists in his village Poorvati selected him. I had accomplished the recruitment course of. He was accompanied by many extra kids. Among them was right now’s well-known Naxalite Paparao. Maoists for youngsters have a corporation referred to as ‘Balal Sangam’. Hidma began with that. ” Hidma, a slim, however agile saddle, was very fast-paced and discovered issues very quick, ” says Badrna. Sangam was made the president. Hidma, who got here from the Gond neighborhood, had been married earlier than becoming a member of the Maoist group. I don’t keep in mind his actual identify correctly, however the identify Hidma was given to him by the group. Madvi Hidma is thought by many names in Bastar. Hidma alias Santosh alias Indmul alias Podiyam Bhima alias Manish. So what’s his actual identify? On this, Badarna says that beneath the technique, his actual identify is hidden. In the Naxal affected areas, Hidma is called Santosh alias Indmul alias Podiyam Bhima alias Manish. No one is aware of what his actual identify is. The Maoists have their very own schooling system and cultural committee. Here Hidma discovered to sing together with finding out. Learning to play revolution songs and sure forms of devices is a part of the coaching of Maoists. Badarna explains, ‘The extra Hidma was studying to embush, the higher he was at enjoying devices. His voice additionally has energy.

After this, Hidma additionally ready the technique of assault of Jheeram valley. The mastermind of the assault on Central Reserve Force in Burkapal, Sukma in 2017 was additionally the identical. ‘ Badarna says, ‘He was far forward of any Maoist of his age. However, when the technique of assault is made, even larger commanders be part of it, however sure, Hidma stays forward in planning the assault he leads. ‘Is Hidma alive or useless? There is a number of confusion about whether or not he’s a person or only a designation. Is he alive or useless? Is Madvi the one designation? These questions typically come up. Many instances in Maoists, after the demise of an ideal fighter, the designation is mounted in his identify. Maoist commanders, Ramanna and Bhupathi are in the identical class. Even after his demise, he retains his designation. But Badarna says about this, ‘I’ve not met Hidma proper now, however he’s alive, I do know this. I noticed him about 10 years in the past. Then that was precisely what we recruited. At that point it will need to have been 30–31 years outdated. Now he will probably be 40-41 years outdated.

Many instances the police bought info that Hidma was coming. Police deployed. Hidma got here there many instances, however didn’t acknowledge him. The photograph of him with the police is 25 years outdated. Apart from this, whether or not you turn into a commander or a soldier within the Maoists, everybody has the identical way of life. Therefore, it’s not straightforward to establish him. ‘Technically educated Hidma makes a video of each assault. If he asks a CRPF jawan posted within the South Zone of the Bastar, he’ll inform. Hidma is great in technique of combating as a result of she has a number of data of recent expertise. Badarna says, ‘This is completely true. He additionally liked expertise as a toddler.
