Naxalism is a socio-political movement
rooted in Maoist ideology, originating in
the Naxalbari village of West Bengal,
India, in the late 1960s. The movement
aims to address issues of land
distribution, social inequality, and
exploitation of marginalized communities.
Naxalites, followers of this movement,
advocate for armed struggle against the
state to achieve their objectives. Over
the years, Naxalism has spread to various
Naxal, Naxalite and Naksalvadi are
generic terms used to refer to various
militant Communist
groups operating in different parts of
India under different organizational
envelopes. In the eastern
states of the mainland India
(Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal
and Odisha), they are usually
known as, or refer to themselves as
Maoists while in southern states like
Andhra Pradesh they are
known under other titles.
The slow implementation of land reforms
is the main reason for the growth of
Naxalism.

INDIA
IS TERRORISM SIMILAR TO THAT OF
NAXALISM
Terrorism includes those kind of acts of the
terror that are motivated by the political,
religious or ideological purposes...
On the other side Naxalism is basically a type of
insurgency by the farmers and the tribals in
India and those who are specifically insisted by
the linenist or the Marxist ideology
It is difficult to explain why schools, primary
health centres and MGNREGA can't function
properly if it can reduce problems of Naxal
tribals' trust more and more by themselves
indulging in development schemes of various
kinds.
•> Naxals are not some friends of the poor or
Robin Hoods who are fighting against the
rich.
•> Naxals believe like Mao that power flows
from the barrel of their gun and so they can
keep killing their enemies
•> They oppose the democratic nature of our
country
•> killing dissenters in their kangaroo courts -
> "JAN ADALAT"
•> They Keep alliances with political parties,
to help them win their elections and thus
gaining favours from them..
So Naxals are not as evil as the states shows
them to be nor as great as they wants
themselves to be seen. They are somewhere
in the middle. Both parts combine to form the
entire truth
CONCLUSION
. In conclusion, Naxalism is a long-standing
issue in India that originated from the
Naxalbari region in West Bengal in the late
1960s. The movement, driven by factors such
as mismanagement of forests, detachment of
local tribes from the government, poor
implementation of tribal policies, and lack of
land reforms, has since spread to around 8
different states, affecting over 150
districts. Despite being termed as the
biggest problem in Adivasi areas, Naxalism is
a manifestation of deeper social problems,
including unemployment, poverty, and socio-
economic injustices. To tackle the LWE
problem, a holistic approach combining
development and security-related
interventions is required. Additionally, civil
on the Maoists to eschew violence and engage
in peaceful dialogue. The government, on the
other hand, must address the underlying
socio-economic issues and ensure the
inclusive development of affected areas to
bring an end to Naxalism.
