Maoism in India : Menaces in the disguise of Robinhood
Though the incident was a local one and inspired by local disputes with the local landlord, it was branded as the birth of revolution in the Indian heartland

History , and red folks themselves evince that Maoism is the personification of ‘armed struggle’. From Mao saying ‘Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun' to Charu Mazumdar’s raising hell statement ‘Revolutionary who does not dip his hand in blood is not a revolutionary’ - which itself gives a call for a warfare and encourages genocide in many sense — From this point forward we can encapsulate ,that Maoist disseminators have no place for the democratic struggle And peace ridden politics. They believe that the entire struggle of the new democratic revolution, would be ‘armed struggle' with the guerrilla forces intact. These red terrorists reject the Indian democracy molded by and for the classical and developing stream of brotherhood — For which our brave sons Bhagat Singh , Rajguru , Sukhdev and many more ,smilingly swung on the gallows.
Charu Mazumdar the red terrorist who can be termed solely responsible for the ‘red manipulation’ of today’s self-proclaimed revolutionaries ; From bomb blasts to the killings of Indian men – both soldiers and civilians and the torment of the marginalized classes by using them only for their adverse deeds. The leader of one of the first Naxalite movement that encouraged blood sheds and established the venomous roots of Maoism in India red terrorist Mazumdar wrote various articles based on the Communist-Maoist thought which came to be known as ‘Historic eight documents' which formed the basis of a naxalite movement. Later in the year 1967 a group of farmers led by Charu Mazumdar launched a peasant uprising at Naxalbari in Darjeeling district of West Bengal.
Though the incident was a local one and inspired by local disputes with the local landlord, it was branded as the birth of revolution in the Indian heartland, This incident in particular echoed throughout India and naxalism was born, the ideology of naxalism soon assumed larger dimension and spread from Naxalbari to ‘India’. However the hollowness and contradictions within the ideology soon gave birth to the longlasting rift within the leaders of the group itself, ultimately pushing the so called revoultion to die a natural death by its own.
In the next decade and two the communist apparatus in the countrty hatched a well planned conspiracy against the state and the artificial struggle in the name of Naxalbari had been launched in various part of the country, the pioneer groups of the newly crafted design for revoultion were Peoples war group in Andhra and MCC in Bihar, Later on both the organisation came together to form the Communist party of India (Maoist) in 2004, while their military wing was named as People Liberation Guerrila Army (PLGA) subsequently.
“One thing can be concluded from the communist struggles, that their leaders always used the deprived classes for their gains from Stalin & Mao using farmers and peasants for the armed battles to Charu Mazumdar and other red terrorists of recent times using the tribal for the terrorism and rampage against the government and society. The extremity of the facet is , that who’s the traditional enemy of these Maoists – A Chinese ideological rival or the capitalists? But no , none of them could settle down enough to harm their propaganda ; Rather it’s the blood of the India’s poor farmers feeding the nation, laborers, women and innocent young minds.”
The then government was looking impotent and weak in front of them. It was such a canker that spread from Bengal to Bihar , Odisha , Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, and killed innocent citizens in the name of justice. On the Sake of fighting feudalism they used to carry out brutal and barbaric killings.In the areas where there was illiteracy, poverty, Maoists used to seek refugee in the remote those forest areas which offer them the camouflage and used to entice the innocent people in their favour. The government incessantly worked for providing aid and education in these areas , which took no time in becoming the red corridors after the foot and word access of Maoism in these marginalized regions. Seeing all these progressive activities, the enraged red terrorists started targeting and killing the innocent citizens.
The united struggles of locals and the government are the reasons that since the formation of the Modi government these terrorists have lost control over a large part of our land. The Indian government under the leadership of PM Modi has adopted zero tolerance towards Left wing extremism.
In resemblance to this zero tolerance against Red-terrorism , HM Amit Shah chairing a meeting of the Parliamentary Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on 7th February said, “For the first time after nearly four decades, in 2022, the number of deaths of civilians and security forces has been brought under 100, and there is a 76 per cent reduction in violent incidents related to LWE in 2022 in comparison to 2010.Besides, the number of civilian and security personnel who lost their lives in LWE incidents has come down by 90 per cent to 98 in 2022 in comparison to 1,005 in 2010, and the number of LWE-affected districts fell to 45 from 90.”
This statement of his remarks that the three-pronged strategy of curbing violence with a ruthless approach, better coordination between the Centre and states, and eliminating support for extremists through public participation in development – has given historic success in suppressing LWE in the last eight years. And it can be seen that the government is totally solicitous towards the security of the civilians and is accelerated in bringing developments for the welfare of 'Indians’ in LWE affected states. The fight against left wing extremism is now at a critical stage and the government is hopeful of drastically reducing this menace very soon.
