SecurityCode: India’s long war with Maoists has a huge void — no number of dead bodies can fill it

from ThePrint · host ThePrint

Following crippling losses and the surrender of a large number of cadres, India’s Maoist insurgents are on their knees. But the insurgency has been crushed several times since its origins in 1948, only to resurface again and again. The story of the Maoists shows that peace won’t be durable unless India is able to address Adivasi and Dalit backwardness in the Maoist belt.
