Who are
Naxalites?
 Naxalites

 Naxals are not terrorists, but they are the internal

disease that will keep rotting the system
internally.
 They are worst than the terrorists themselves.
They are parasites and they should be weeded out
asap. No mercy at all, period!
 What would you generally do if there is a virus in
your body and is causing your system to be
disrupted constantly??
 Would you not tell your doctor to remove it
permanently so that you are free from the
nuisance??? Similarly, these internal miscreants
should be flushed out permanently.
 Of a class war, the Naxalites, also sometimes called
the Naxals, is loose term used to define
groups waging a violent struggle on behalf of landless
labourers and tribal people against landlords and
others.
 The Naxalites say they are fighting oppression and
exploitation to create a classless society.
 Their opponents say the
Naxalites are terrorists oppressing people in the
name .
Origin of
Naxalism
 Origin of Naxalism
 The Naxal name comes from the village of
“Naxalbari” in the state of West Bengal where the
movement originated in 1967.
 It was started by the Communist Party of
India(Maoist) to provide land to the landless.
 Naxalite` or `Naxalism` is an informal name given
to radical, often violent, revolutionary communist
groups .
 Ideologically they belong to various trends of
Maoism.
 Initially the movement had its epicentre in West
Bengal
• Naxal ideology owes it's origins to the abject
penury and stems from the all pervasive poverty in
the Indian hinterland.
• The Naxal movement is showing signs of better
organization of its political and military wings.
• The Red Corridor held by Naxals stretches across
the swath of forest lands from Andhra Pradesh in
South India to Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Orissa,
West Bengal, Jharkhand and Bihar and is expanding
Who does
Naxalites
represent?
 Who do they represent ?
 The Naxalites claim to represent the most oppressed
people in India.

 Those who are often left untouched by India's

development and bypassed by the electoral process. 

 They are the Adivasis, Dalits, and the poorest of the

poor, who work as landless labourers for a pittance,
often below India's mandated minimum wages.
• The criticism against the Naxalites is that despite
their ideology, they have over the years
become just another terrorist outfit, extorting
money from middle-level landowners .
• Since rich landowners invariably buy protection),
and worse, even extorting and dominating the lives
of the Adivasis and villagers who they claim to
represent in the name of providing justice.
 Where do
naxalites operate?
 Where do they operate?
 The most prominent area of operation is a broad
swathe across the very heartland of India, often
considered as the least developed area of this
country.
 The Naxalites operate mostly in the rural and Adivasi
areas, often out of the continuous jungles in these
regions.
 Their operations are most prominent in (from North
to South) Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh ],
eastern Maharashtra , the Telengana (north-western)
region of Andhra Pradesh, and western Orissa.
 It will be seen that these areas are all inland, from
the coastline.
 The People's War is active mainly in Andhra
Pradesh, western Orissa and eastern Maharashtra
while the Maoist Communist Centre is active in
Bihar, Jharkhand and northern Chhattisgarh.

Trend and its
impact
 Trend of Naxalism and its impact
 The approach to the Naxalites problems needs a
blend of firm but sophisticated, handling of
Naxalites
violence with sensitive handling of the
developmental aspects.
 Government can not blame the Naxals, because they
are also the subjects of the nation. But their
violence is not acceptable by the government.
 Naxals groups have been raising mainly land and
livelihood related issues and they blame the
Government settings and Bureaucracy.
 Now, India has been facing many challenges like
Equality, Justice (in Social, Economic and Political),
Liberty, Fraternity, Peoples' economic development
through high economic growth rate and Defence
etc.,.

tax payers(citizens) for the high growth rate in
Indian economy and welfare activities, to control the
Naxalism through various measures.

inadequate.

prevalent dissatisfaction.

an alternative Government which is promisive to
emancipate those people from the clutches of the
through violation.
 For example,
Recent Central Government assistance of Rs.2475
crores for 55 Naxals affected States and under
RSVY(Rashtriya Sam Vikas Yojana) scheme an
amount of Rs.15 crores per year has been given to
each of the districts for three years so as to fill in
critical gaps in physical
and social development in the Naxal affected areas.
 Naxals try to sustain their fraternal and logistic
links with Nepalese Maoists, though there are no
strategic and operational links between them.
 They often use war like extremism through the
armed struggle to capture political power and being
Anti-Social and Criminal Element.
 They are having contemporary weapons.

large number of targets
