Cool, I didn’t know that was a thing. Do the naxalites have any chance of winning anything or are they just another Maoist guerrilla group that chose the wrong time to start a people’s war?
Naxals were inspired from Cultural revolution of China, they were mostly young intelligent students from universities and colleges. Most got killed by military and police, my father was arrested by police and was beaten. Eventually the CPIM whose members also killed during the process saved him. Naxals later abandoned the idea of arms struggle , some joined CPIM some fled to the jungle who later became CPI maoists (2000s). Maoists got crushed by BJP government. Naxals and Maoists did enormous errors, they targeted CPM cadres and killed them brutally, they also targeted ordinary low wage soldiers , generally in India lots of lower caste people join the army because of minimal wage and healthcare. Nowadays Maoists are busy on hating China, Russia etc. They see no country after 1976 Maoist China as a true socialist country.
I remember her saying she was a Maoist.
My father was a Naxalite , but now he loves modern China.
