Home Minister Amit Shah called it &#8220;the most decisive strike&#8221; against the insurgency in three decades. One police officer also died in the encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maoists, also known as &#8220;Naxalites&#8221; after the 1967 uprising in Naxalbari village in West Bengal, have regrouped over the decades to carve out a &#8220;red corridor&#8221; across central and eastern India &#8211; stretching from Jharkhand in the east to Maharashtra in the west and spanning more than a third of the country&#8217;s districts. Former prime minister Manmohan Singh had described the insurgency as India&#8217;s &#8220;greatest internal security threat&#8221;.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The armed struggle for Communist rule has claimed nearly 12,000 lives since 2000, according to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.satp.org\/datasheet-terrorist-attack\/fatalities\/india-maoistinsurgency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;South Asian Terrorism Portal<\/a>. The rebels say they fight for the rights of indigenous tribes and the rural poor, citing decades of state neglect and land dispossession.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s time to ask &#8211; can a revolution really be led from cut-off forestlands in today&#8217;s India?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CPI (Maoist)&#8217;s 2007 political document clings to a Mao-era strategy: of creating a &#8220;liberated zone&#8221; and &#8220;<strong><em>encircling the cities from the countryside.<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; But the sympathiser was blunt: &#8220;That doesn&#8217;t work anymore.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. N.

But Marxist-Leninist movements have transcended such challenges when the top leadership of the Naxalites were killed in the 70s and yet we are talking about Naxalism,&#8221; said N Venugopal, a journalist, social scientist and long-time observer of the movement, who is both a critic and sympathiser of the Maoists.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. M.

Educated youth aren&#8217;t interested anymore,&#8221; says Mr Ganapathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Ganapathy adds that access to mobile phones, social media, roads and connectivity have made people more aware and less inclined to support an armed underground movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;People have become aspirational, mobile phones and social media have become widespread and people are exposed to the outside world. Maoists also cannot operate in hiding in remote jungles while being out of sync with new social realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Without mass support, no insurgency can survive,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maoists enjoy support in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana from mainstream political parties. In Telangana, both the ruling Congress and the main opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) have backed calls for a ceasefire, along with 10 smaller Left parties &#8211; an effort widely seen as aimed at protecting the group&#8217;s remaining leaders and cadres.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-footnotes\"><li id=\"d5842269-e113-48c1-bd6b-d8b9c3f2408f\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mha.gov.in\/en\/documents\/annual-reports\">Home ministry annual reports<\/a> <a href=\"#d5842269-e113-48c1-bd6b-d8b9c3f2408f-link\" aria-label=\"Jump to footnote reference 1\">\u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li><\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u092e\u093e\u0913\u091a\u094d\u092f\u093e Power through bullet, and not ballot \u092f\u093e \u0924\u0924\u094d\u0924\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0935\u0930 \u0935\u093f\u0936\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0938 \u0905\u0938\u0923\u093e\u0930\u0947 \u0905\u0924\u093f\u0930\u0947\u0915\u0940. \u0928\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0932\u092c\u093e\u0930\u0940 \u0935\u093f\u092d\u093e\u0917\u093e\u0924 \u092f\u093e\u0902\u091a\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0915\u093e\u0930\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0932\u093e \u0938\u0941\u0930\u0935\u093e\u0924 \u091d\u093e\u0932\u0940 \u0924\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0935\u0930\u0942\u0928 \u0928\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0932\u0935\u093e\u0926\u0940 \u0939\u0947 \u0928\u093e\u0935 \u092a\u0941\u0922\u0947 \u0930\u0942\u0922 \u091d\u093e\u0932\u0947. \u092d\u093e\u0930\u0924 \u0938\u0930\u0915\u093e\u0930\u091a\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0917\u0943\u0939\u092e\u0902\u0924\u094d\u0930\u093e\u0932\u092f\u093e\u091a\u093e \u0928\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0932 \u0935\u094d\u092f\u0935\u0938\u094d\u0925\u093e\u092a\u0928 \u0935\u093f\u092d\u093e\u0917 \u0939\u094b\u0924\u093e. \u091c\u0942\u0928 2014 \u092e\u0927\u094d\u092f\u0947 \u0938\u0927\u094d\u092f\u093e\u091a\u094d\u092f\u093e \u092e\u094b\u0926\u0940 \u0938\u0930\u0915\u093e\u0930\u0928\u0947 \u092f\u093e \u0935\u093f\u092d\u093e\u0917\u093e\u091a\u0947 \u0928\u093e\u092e\u093e\u0902\u0924\u0930 Left Wing Extremism Division &#8211; \u0921\u093e\u0935\u0947 \u0905\u0924\u093f\u0930\u0947\u0915\u0940 \u0935\u093f\u092d\u093e\u0917 \u0905\u0938\u0947 \u0915\u0947\u0932\u0947. \u0928\u0935\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0935\u093f\u092d\u093e\u0917\u093e\u091a\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0935\u0947\u092c\u0938\u093e\u0908\u091f\u0935\u0930\u0940\u0932 \u092e\u093e\u0939\u093f\u0924\u0940&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":456,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":"[{\"content\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.mha.gov.in\/en\/documents\/annual-reports\\\">Home ministry annual reports<\/a>\",\"id\":\"d5842269-e113-48c1-bd6b-d8b9c3f2408f\"}]"},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-political-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/drtktopecollege.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/drtktopecollege.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/drtktopecollege.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drtktopecollege.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drtktopecollege.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=471"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/drtktopecollege.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7629,"href":"https:\/\/drtktopecollege.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471\/revisions\/7629"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drtktopecollege.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/drtktopecollege.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drtktopecollege.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drtktopecollege.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
