Naxalism in India is a powerful reminder of the urgent need to address deep socio-economic inequalities, resolve land disputes, and uplift marginalised tribal communities. Naxalism which is also referred to as Naxal, Naxalite, or Naksalvadi, represents militant left-wing movements active across various parts of India under diverse organisational structures.
Originating in Naxalbari, a village in Darjeeling district, West Bengal, the movement began in 1967 under the leadership of Charu Majumdar, Jangal Santhal, and Kanu Sanyal. Initially localised in West Bengal, it later expanded to less-developed rural regions of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh, primarily through underground organisations like the Communist Party of India (Maoist).
