Naxalite is a term used to refer to an activist who is a member of the Communist Party of India. They operate in various parts of India, mostly in West Bengal and less developed areas of rural southern and eastern India. The Naxalite-Maoist insurgency is an ongoing tiff between Naxalites and the Indian Government. The term Naxal has its roots in the village Naxalbari in West Bengal, where the violent movement was organized by a section of the Communist Party of India. The movement has now advanced to the hilly and forest regions of around eight different states, with more than 150 districts are believed to be under its direct influence. Naxalites are mostly active in the tribal areas spreading from Andhra Pradesh to Bihar and Maharashtra, and also covering parts of Karnataka, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, and Tamil Nadu.
Over three thousand people had been killed in Naxalite-Government conflicts between 2002-2005. The conflict has displaced 350,000 members of tribal groups from their ancestral lands with hundreds of people being killed annually in clashes between the CPI-Maoists and the government every year since 2005. The Naxalites also mounted an attack on a BSF patrol team near Kurenar. The incident came a few weeks after the Naxals ambushed a team of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in Sukuma, Chhattisgarh, killing 25 of its policemen providing security for road construction in the area.
Naxalites are influential and active in some parts of India due to the unresolved issues and different over there. A decent implementation of land ceiling laws, utilization of the funds provided to the government in the most efficient manner could be the solution to this problem. All those who have been displaced should be given proper rehabilitation along with police security. The government of India launched a new security operation policy to deal with Naxalites called 'SAMADHAN' - Smart leadership, Aggressive strategy, Motivation and training, Actionable intelligence, Dashboard-based key performance indicators and key result areas, Harnessing technology, an Action plan for each threat, No access to funding. This problem can't be resolved through bullets or any shortcuts, but through short-term, medium-term and long-term solutions. With the new strategies and full force, we will be successful against them.
