The Maoist movement is one of independent India’s most serious internal security threats. The development process has failed to improve the rural population’s fate in terms of socioeconomic transformation, leading to the rise of maoists. Poverty, inequality, exploitation, and systemic violence are all circumstances that the maoists thrive in. Poverty, unemployment, and marginalisation are all challenges that India’s development strategy has failed to address.

The gap between rich and poor has widened significantly. 61 percent of the rural population is landless or owns land that is fragmented. Landless, tiny, and marginal farmers, for example, take up resistance in the shape of numerous movements, including naxalism, as a result of these inequities.
The Naxalites are sprung from India’s Communist Party. Its battle against the Indian state has witnessed both success and failure since its inception in the Naxalbari area of West Bengal in 1967. There is a definite goal of toppling the Indian state on the basis of class and bringing about a fundamental reorganisation of society. They emphasise the need of peasant mobilisation and politicisation. Land reforms, according to Charu Majumdar, the leader of the naxalite movement, would not be accomplished unless the governmental apparatus and the feudal elite are destroyed.

The maoists plan to eliminate imperialism and feudalism, dismantle bureaucratic capitalism, and build a people’s democratic dictatorship under the proletariat.
They have three weapons in their revolutionary strategy: the party, the army (people’s liberation army), and the United Front. Armed struggle and the use of military action to begin the establishment of guerrilla zones and subsequently convert them to freed zones is their most conspicuous feature.
The movement’s entire organisation is in a political and structural crisis. Their approach is insufficient to deal with the changing realities in India in a changing worldwide setting. It’s a phenomenon that, like anarchy, can be found in every capitalist country. They employ a variety of violent tactics that have led in the deaths of innocent individuals.

The most pressing concern is how India will deal with the naxalite problem. The state considers the Maoists to be a security danger to the population. The military and political strategies are being used to combat Maoist violence. Manmohan Singh, the previous Prime Minister, has stated several times that the Maoists are a serious worry. The Communist Party of India was declared a terrorist organisation by the Indian government in 2009. Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh are among the states that have declared the Maoist party illegal.
In 2006, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a new branch called naxal management to deal with left-wing extremists holistically. In 2009, the Indian government used paramilitary and armed police to begin an all-out offensive against the CPI guerillas in many states.
People and youth who had become ensnared in naxal extremism were offered a glimmer of hope and made to confirm that they would not be lured to join the cause again. The goal of this endeavour was to find a peaceful solution to the situation. In the areas impacted by left-wing extremism, an integrated response strategy has been established. Construction of schools, Anganwadi centres, and health centres are among the public infrastructure projects that have been completed. The plan also included drinking water supply, village roads, and power.

The NDA administration has taken a comprehensive approach to the naxalite problem, concentrating on development and security. Because violence has no place in a democracy, the naxalites have been invited to come to negotiations. During peace talks, the Maoists asked that the all-out war be ended, that the party’s ban be repealed, and that unlawful imprisonment and torture of its members be halted. For India to be ready to deal with worldwide security concerns, it must first tackle all existing internal security issues.
