India's Maoist-inspired Naxal insurgency began as a rebellion, grew more violent over the years, and has left communities shattered. DW explains how it all started and where it stands today.

The Indian government has intensified its military operations against Maoist rebels, known as Naxalites, in an effort to curb their influence and activities, particularly in the central and eastern parts of the country. This escalation includes deploying additional paramilitary forces, conducting more aggressive search and destroy missions, and enhancing intelligence operations to dismantle the Maoist network. The offensive comes in response to recent attacks by the rebels, which have resulted in casualties among security forces and civilians. The government's strategy also involves development initiatives aimed at winning the hearts and minds of the local population, often caught in the crossfire, by improving infrastructure, education, and healthcare in Maoist-affected regions. This dual approach of military might and development seeks to undermine the Maoists' appeal to the rural poor, who have historically supported the rebels due to grievances over land rights, poverty, and exploitation.
