The Silent War: Unpacking India’s Naxalite Insurgency

India’s fight against Naxalism is often described as a declining insurgency—but the reality is far more complex. The Silent War is a Global Eye Intelligence Conflict Intelligence Report that delivers a grounded, intelligence-led assessment of Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) in India, tracing its evolution from the 1967 Naxalbari uprising to today’s adaptive, multi-dimensional threat.

The report examines the ideological foundations of the CPI (Maoist), its operational geography across the Red Corridor, and why mineral-rich, tribal-dominated regions continue to serve as recruitment and conflict zones. While recent security operations and surrenders have significantly reduced violence, the analysis highlights emerging risks—urban radicalization, digital indoctrination, academic influence networks, and persistent governance gaps in forested and remote districts.

Beyond security metrics, the report assesses socio-economic fault lines, infrastructure sabotage, community alienation, and the limits of purely kinetic counter-insurgency. It concludes with actionable intelligence-driven recommendations covering security strategy, development acceleration, rehabilitation frameworks, and counter-ideological measures—aligned with India’s stated objective of eliminating Naxalism.

This is decision-grade internal security intelligence for policymakers, defence analysts, researchers, and serious observers of India’s national security ecosystem. Global Eye Intelligence is followed by those who want clarity before insurgencies mutate, not after they resurface.
