Naxalite–Maoist insurgency

Indian anti-government conflict since 1967

The Naxalite–Maoist insurgency is an ongoing conflict between the Government of India and communist groups. The Naxalites are a group of communist organizations following Maoist political sentiment and ideology, and claim to be fighting for rural poor and wage a people's war against the government. 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.
