Areas with Naxalite activity in 2018

The Naxalite–Maoist insurgency is part of an ongoing conflict between Left-wing extremist groups and the Indian government.[1] The insurgency started after the 1967 Naxalbari uprising and the subsequent split of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) leading to the creation of a Marxist–Leninist faction.[2] The faction splintered into various groups supportive of Maoist ideology, claiming to fight a rural rebellion and people's war against the government.[3]

The armed wing of the Maoists is called the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army.[4][5] They have conducted multiple attacks on the security forces and government workers.[6] The influence zone of the Naxalites is called the red corridor, which consists of about 25 districts in Central and East India in 2021.[7][8][9] The insurgency reached its peak in the late 2000s with almost 180 affected districts and has been on the decline since then due to the counter-insurgency actions and development plans formulated by the Government.[10] Naxalite organisations and groups have been declared as terrorist organisations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act of India (1967).[11][12]
