About — Maoist insurgency
A Maoist insurgency is a type of armed rebellion that seeks to overthrow the existing government and establish a socialist or communist state through guerrilla warfare and peasant mobilization. This ideology is rooted in the teachings of Mao Zedong, a Chinese revolutionary leader. In India, the Maoist insurgency, also known as Naxalism, has been active in several states since the 1960s.
