Left-wing extremists, popularly known as Maoists worldwide and as Naxalites 1 in India–have been gaining in strength and influence since some time. Today, the menace of Left-wing extremism is the single internal security threat that affects the largest number of States in India. The intensity this threat poses is next only to that being faced in Jammu and Kashmir. There are more than 30 Left-wing extremist groups in operation in the country. Some of them have consistently followed a violent agenda, rejecting parliamentary politics. Some others have been participating in the democratic processes with considerable success, while some maintain underground cadres, but also participate in parliamentary politics.
The objective of the Naxalites is to wage an armed revolution, modeled on the lines of the Chinese Revolution, which they call New Democratic Revolution (NDR), and usher in their own form of government.
The present paper discusses the scope and scale of the activities of Left-wing extremist groups in India, especially in Andhra Pradesh 2 , and discusses the probability of a peaceful resolution of the problem of Left-wing extremism. While it is beyond the scope of this paper to analyse Left-wing extremist violence across the country, certain core features as manifested in the affected States are enumerated wherever plausible
