Naxalites

Naxalites, also known as Maoists, are members of a communist insurgent movement in India that seeks to challenge the government through armed rebellion. Originating in 1967 from rural discontent, they aim to address issues like poverty, land rights, and inequality by overthrowing the existing political system and establishing a classless society. Primarily active in impoverished forests and rural areas, they often use guerrilla tactics, making their activities a significant security concern for India. Their movement is rooted in social and economic grievances, but their methods have led to debates over law, order, and development strategies.
