DOWNLOAD EBOOKShortlisted for the Orwell Prize Shortlisted for the New India Foundation Book Prize Anthropologist Alpa Shah found herself in an active platoon of Naxalites—one of the longest-running guerrilla insurgencies in the world. The only woman, and the only person without a weapon, she walked alongside the militants for seven nights across 150 miles of dense, hilly forests in eastern India. Nightmarch is the riveting story of Shah's journey, grounded in her years of living with India’s tribal people, an eye-opening exploration of the movement’s history and future and a powerful contemplation of how disadvantaged people fight back against unjust systems in today’s world. The Naxalites have fought for a communist society for the past fifty years, caught in a conflict that has so far claimed at least forty thousand lives. Yet surprisingly little is known about these fighters in the West. Framed by the Indian state as a deadly terrorist group, the movement is actually made up of Marxist ideologues and lower-caste and tribal combatants, all of whom seek to overthrow a system that has abused them for decades. In Nightmarch, Shah shares some of their gritty untold stories: here we meet a high-caste leader who spent almost thirty years underground, a young Adivasi foot soldier, and an Adivasi youth who defected. Speaking with them and living for years with villagers in guerrilla strongholds, Shah has sought to understand why some of India’s poor have shunned the world’s largest democracy and taken up arms to fight for a fairer society—and asks whether they might be undermining their own aims. By shining a light on this largely ignored corner of the world, Shah raises important questions about the uncaring advance of capitalism and offers a compelling reflection on dispossession and conflict at the heart of contemporary India.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Naxalite Movement has been a significant socio-political movement of 21st century India. It is seen as the single largest internal security challenge ever faced by the country. Starting from the village of Naxalbari, the Naxals have grown in number and strength. It was started under the leadership of Charu Majumdar and Kanu Sanyal, in May 1967 at Naxalbari in the state of West Bengal. After its four decades of existence it has emerged as a decisive force in the country. At present the movement has spread over 170 districts in 15 states of India. In our country the Naxalite activities are found in backward areas in different states and concentrated in a slender passage way running from Bihar in North-east, through Jharakhand and Chhattishgarh in the centre, down to Orissa and Andhra Pradesh in the South. It is this 'Red Corridor' that has become the operational field of the Naxalities. During the last few decades, Naxal activities gained a mass base among peasants, Adivasis, Dalits and labouring classes. Particularly, Naxal activities have reported in hilly, forest and backward areas of the country which are traditionally remained beyond the reach of any development projects, social welfare schemes and agencies of administration. Since all the demands and grievances of the Tribals, Dalits, landless agricultural workers and the like could be met and resolved within the parameters of the Constitution and existing legal and policy frame, a responsive and sympathetic political leadership at different levels can solve the issue of Naxalism if they had the will and if they could transcend their proximate class interests.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Naxalites take their name from an uprising of workers in the north Bengal countryside in early 1967. Since then `Naxalite' and `Naxalism' have become synonymous in India with communist revolutionary terrorism. The Naxalite movement itself, and most specifically its ideology, has neverbefore been as closely and comprehensively studied as in the present volume.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNaxalism or Left Wing extremism is a major internal security threat faced by India. Though Naxalism predates independence, it was limited to small pockets of areas but now has spread to underdeveloped areas from Bihar to Tamil Nadu. It is a well organized underground movement with an ideological base in rural areas spread over in the interior of many states. The Naxal movement is a complex socio- politico- economic phenomenon. Their violent methods against the government officials, law and order agencies and business community are causes, needing immediate and serious attention. This volume is a compilation of five papers presented at a workshop organized by CSA in August 2010.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Naxilite movement is one of the important components in the political spectrum in India. At one stage, the 'spring thunder' caused tremors in practically all the states of the Union and posed a serious challenge even to the democratic structure. The Idealists saw in it the beginning of a new world, a new socio-economic order. But soon sordid politics took over. The movement, however continues to have a large support base because of the intellectual appeal of its ideology. It has survived more than a quarter century of onslaught by the security forces - without any external support, unlike the Punjab terrorism and Kashmir militancy. The Movement has developed an inherent strength. The present book is the only one of its kind. It covers all the important developments from the inception of the Movement in 1967 to the present day in historical sweep.
