Naxalism, rooted in socio-economic inequalities and Maoist ideology, remains one of India’s most persistent internal threats. Since its emergence in West Bengal’s Naxalbari in 1967, the movement has sought to challenge the Indian state through violence, targeting democratic institutions, public infrastructure, and marginalized communities. At its height, LWE stretched across a “Red Corridor” that included Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Maharashtra, and parts of several other states. While Maoist groups claim to champion tribal rights, their tactics—extortion, recruitment of children, sabotage, and assassinations—have inflicted lasting harm on rural populations. In recent years, the Indian government has adopted an integrated approach combining security operations, infrastructure development, and community engagement. This has significantly weakened the insurgency.
