DEVELOEPMENT AND CONFLICT: BOTH SIDES A COIN

What is the root cause of conflicts around the world?. It is development!. Look around the world. Naxalism and north east insurgency in India and Srilanka issue, Vaseeristhan in Pak, Iraq the list is bulging. These issues are directly or indirectly related with development.
Development needs resources. Nature is distributed its resources abundantly and judiciously in various countries. No one is lucky to control all the resources. So competition for acquiring stake on natural resources is increasing and it make tension across the world. It cause problems between major powers. From the beginning of recorded history and beyond that these stories were written with blood. The exploitation of resources for the various developmental purposes creating ecological and financial problem in that area. US needs large amount of oil to run their industries and other energy requirements. And to keep their currency, dollar, stable they are trying to control the oil market. Everyone knows the American's petro dollar diplomacy is making disturbances all over the world.
India's developmental dreams kill the hopes of Adivasis and farmers all over the country. This gives leverage to the activities of Maoists and North East insurgents. These examples prove the relation between development and conflicts. Both are the two sides of a coin.
