Naxalism originated in the late 1960s in the village of Naxalbari in West Bengal, India. It follows Maoist political ideology and aims to overthrow the state to establish communism. Key figures in its formation included Mao Tse-tung and Charu Majumdar. Today, Naxalite violence occurs across several Indian states. The government has launched operations like Operation Green Hunt to combat it but it remains a serious socio-political problem.
