Insurgency in India

Insurgency in India refers to armed movements aiming to challenge the government’s authority through violence, often driven by regional, ethnic, or ideological grievances. Notable examples include Maoist insurgencies in central and eastern regions, and regional conflicts like those in Kashmir. These insurgencies involve guerrilla tactics, and the motives often encompass demands for autonomy, better rights, or opposition to state policies. The Indian government counters these threats with military operations, development initiatives, and negotiation efforts to restore peace and stability while addressing the root causes of dissent.
