Naxalism is a socio-political movement in India that aims to overthrow the current government through armed struggle. It originated in Naxalbari, West Bengal, in the late 1960s and has since spread to various states, especially in remote and underdeveloped regions. Naxalism has posed significant challenges to India's internal security and has led to numerous violent conflicts between the Naxal insurgents and the Indian security forces.
