Summary / Abstract (Note) | L eft-wing Extremism (LWE) continues to remain one of the major challenges to India’s internal security. Its intensity continues to persist especially in three states – Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa – apart from a significant presence in West Bengal, Bihar, and Maharashtra. At the same time, the left-wing extremists have successfully managed to penetrate in some of the states of the northeast and south India, and into a few urban areas. Interestingly, there is a reduction in the number of middle and top-level Maoist leaders due to killings, arrests or surrenders. Yet, one still cannot assert with confidence that Left-wing Extremism is on the wane. Significantly, the spread of Naxals beyond the ‘Red Corridor’ and their external links are a cause for concern |
