The Vivekananda International Foundation hosted a discussion on Dr P V Ramana’s book “India’s Maoists: Glimpses into Red Insurgency”, examining the Maoist movement’s evolution, geographical spread and security dimensions, with speakers discussing its history, counter-insurgency efforts and changing phases.
The Centre told the Lok Sabha that 29 top Naxal commanders have been neutralised since 2019 and only three districts remain “most affected” by LWE. Maoist violence has dropped 81 per cent, with the government targeting complete eradication by March 2026
