History Of Naxalism
Before the Independence of India, there was no such word "Naxalism in India" exist, a lot of movement was
being started, many youths were taking part in those movements, one of them was
Charu Majumdar. When Subhash Chandra Bose, Jawaharlal Nehru, and other leaders
believed that farmers should be the first authority over everything, the
parallel of that another side that used to do all the demands with great rigor. And they had not kept much faith in democracy. In this ideology, Charu
Mazumdar's inclination began to grow.
After some time, Charu Mazumdar joined the Communist Party.
The Tebhaga movement started in 1946, in which Charu Mazumdar participated in
the movement and the movement was successful, which further boosted the morale
of Charu Majumdar. Now he started thinking that he would free the farmers of
the entire country from the clutches of the landlords.
How Naxalism Started In India
Charu Mazumdar's movement continued like this even after
India's Independence. He was arrested in 1948, which is believed to have
strengthened his thinking during his arrest and he started thinking about it
more vigorously.
During imprisonment, Charu Mazumdar meets a young man named
Kanu Sanyal, and he was also influenced by this thinking. Their idea was that
they could bring a revolution with the emphasis of weapons. And after some time
he left the Communist Party of India and started his own party, and this
movement was started from Naxalbari in Darjeeling district. The thinking of
Charu and Kanhu were called Naxalbad.
Father of Naxalism
Charu started his own party in 1969, CPIML (Marxist
Leninist) and it would be fair to say that Charu Mazumdar was the Father of
Naxalism and Kanu Sanyal was the First Naxal.
Naxalism Present Scenario
It would be fair to say that after Charu Majumdar's death,
the people who joined the campaign had no ideology and no goal. And the whole
campaign went in the wrong direction. The result of this can be shown in
today's Naxalites attacks.
Are our paramilitary forces do not work under different circumstances to deal with extremism, then the answer will surely be "yes". Are they trained to deal with extremism? There is no doubt about it that they can handle any kind of worst-case scenario. But the Red Terror is not a law and order situation. The police are trained to deal with a situation where the people being controlled are not armed with guns and radical ideology. In the case of the Red Terror, we are working with our own people who have grown into armed resistance.
Political will is a pre-requisite to win the fight against the Naxal. The results will not come out overnight. But to protect the integrity and sovereignty of the country all national and regional parties have to come forward for the sake of regional and national stability.
What Is Naxalism In India
The country is very fragile with internal threats from terrorism, jihadi and left-wing terrorism. The latter is also named the 'People's War' waged by the Maoists. The Red Terror is a national challenge and a continuous war-like situation exists in two thousand police stations in 600 districts in India.Are our paramilitary forces do not work under different circumstances to deal with extremism, then the answer will surely be "yes".

Tackling Naxalism
The use of force is the last resort in a democratic society. The prudent government refrains from using force and also creates a situation of not allowing citizens to do so. Such an approach was developed by Andhra Pradesh. They created police units called Greyhounds, which spoke the language of the people and earned trust by acting their patrons. The Greyhounds were unique civilian paramilitary forces with military-grade training to overcome armed resistance.Political will is a pre-requisite to win the fight against the Naxal. The results will not come out overnight. But to protect the integrity and sovereignty of the country all national and regional parties have to come forward for the sake of regional and national stability.
