India Signals End of Long-Standing Insurgency
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that the Maoist insurgency in India is nearing its end after years of security operations. The government has succeeded in reducing the number of rebels from tens of thousands to a few hundred, although "ideological Naxalites" who seek to incite violence without resorting to armed conflict still remain. The Maoist movement, which emerged in 1967 in West Bengal, spread across large parts of central and eastern India, resulting in the deaths of thousands of civilians and security personnel. Since 2014, government efforts have significantly diminished the scope of the insurgency by boosting security and development policies, focusing on supporting youth through training programs and initiatives to foster self-reliance in the defense and agriculture sectors, despite criticisms over the arrest of activists and journalists. The goal is to eradicate the rebellion by 2026.
