Answer:
The premise of this study was that voters across linguistic groups have equal rights to well-informedcitizenship. Mody hoped that daily newspapers would provide an “equitable distribution of disinterested political knowledge across electoral constituencies to potentially effect a major change in the money–muscle–politics nexus that shapes national election outcomes”.
This large quantitative study of political knowledge supply by newspapers chose one topic – the Naxal issue - for comparative analysis of newspaper reporting across five language groups because it has been considered the country’s greatest internal security threat by both the previous Manmohan Singh government as well as the current Narendra Modi government.
Advocating armed revolution as an alternative to parliamentary democracy, the Naxal movement began in 1967 with the protests of landless peasants in Naxalbari village in northern West Bengal. The Maoist Party that was later formed, as a merger between Andhra Pradesh and Bihar’s Marxist factions, focused on the displacement of tribals from their ancestral homelands due to mining, infrastructure development, special economic zones, and wildlife conservation activities. The Naxalites control territory throughout Bihar, Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh states and claim to be supported by the poorest of the rural population, especially Adivasis and dalits. The Naxalites have frequently targeted police and government workers in their fight for improved land rights and more jobs for neglected agricultural labourers and the poor.
Given India’s 22 official languages, 29 states, regionally concentrated ethnic differences and the fact that 85 per cent of dailies are printed in regional languages, this study of the supply of political knowledge made it a point to include the highest circulation daily in Bengali, Telegu and Urdu in addition to the highest circulation daily in English and Hindi.

Explanation: A Naxal or Naxalite (/ˈnʌksəlaɪt/)[1] is a member of any political organisation that claims the legacy of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist), founded in Calcutta in 1969. The Communist Party of India (Maoist) is the largest existing political group in that lineage today in India.[2]
The term Naxal derives from the name of the village Naxalbari in West Bengal, where the Naxalite peasant revolt took place in 1967. Naxalites are considered far-left radical communists, supportive of Mao Zedong's political ideology. Their origin can be traced to the split in 1967 of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) following the Naxalbari peasant uprising, leading to the formation of the Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) two years later. Initially, the movement had its epicentre in West Bengal. In later years, it spread to less developed areas of rural southern and eastern India, such as Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana through the activities of underground groups like the Communist Party of India (Maoist).[3] Some Naxalite groups have become legal organisations participating in parliamentary elections, such as the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation and the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Janashakti.
