Naxalism

2026 marks the end of India’s Red era, with the Left losing its last state in Kerala and Maoist insurgency collapsing under sustained state action.

As India becomes free from the menace of Maoist-Leftist terrorism, here is a look back at the birth, life and death of Naxalism in India.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai made a strong statement on 18th March, claiming that Naxalism in the state is effectively over.

Crucial infrastructural development and the resultant connectivity to remote Naxal-infested areas provided a much-needed operational ease to the Centre's anti-Naxal strategy. The 910-metre bridge built over the river Gurupriya in 2018 in the Malkangiri district, once considered a Naxal breeding ground, was a part of this crucial infrastructural enhancement.

Just as it is the case with most leftist outfits, Fraternity Movement also packages itself as a defender of democratic principles, secularism, the constitution, social justice and whatnot; however, beyond the shiny packaging lies the dark and disturbing pro-Islamist and divisive activism.

COLLECTIVE is not a mere student organisation but a Marxist platform using on-campus activism and social media propaganda to stir unrest in India and undermine the country security and communal harmony. In the name of dismantling capitalism, patriarchy, caste structures, electoral politics and whatnot, this group of urban naxals is essentially targeting Hindus and the Indian state.
