Timeline of the Naxalite–Maoist insurgency explained

The Naxalite–Maoist insurgency is part of an ongoing conflict between Left-wing extremist groups and the Indian government.^[1] The insurgency started after the 1967 Naxalbari uprising and the subsequent split of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) leading to the creation of a Marxist–Leninist faction.^[2] The faction splintered into various groups supportive of Maoist ideology, claiming to fight a rural rebellion and people's war against the government.^[3]

The armed wing of the Maoists is called the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army.^{[4] [5]} They have conducted multiple attacks on the security forces and government workers.^[6] The influence zone of the Naxalites is called the red corridor, which consists of about 25 districts in Central and East India in 2021.^{[7] [8] [9]} The insurgency reached its peak in the late 2000s with almost 180 affected districts and has been on the decline since then due to the counter-insurgency actions and development plans formulated by the Government.^[10] Naxalite organisations and groups have been declared as terrorist organisations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act of India (1967).^{[11] [12]}
