Sixties was the period in Europe, Asia and America, when new radical struggles were erupting, distinguished by the rereading of Marx, the rediscovery of the sources of revolutionary humanism and the revival of the ideals that inspired individual courage and the readiness to sacrifice for a cause. These tendencies were reflected in the national liberation struggle of the Vietnamese people; in the civil rights and anti-war movements in the USA; in the students' agitations in Western Europe; in Che Guevara's self-sacrifice in the jungles of Bolivia.
This is the time when Naxlite movement came under sunlight. Although the earliest demonstration of the movement was the Telengana Struggle in July 1948 but The word Naxalite comes from Naxalbari, a small village in Darjeeling district of West Bengal, where a section of Communist Party of India (Marxist) led by Charu Majumdar and Kanu Sanyal split to form the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist), after the former agreed to participate in elections and form a coalition government in state.The insurrection started on May 25, 1967 in Naxalbari village when a tribal who had been given land by the courts under the tenancy laws attacked by local goons .Tribals attacked landlord and the violence stepped up.Majumdar,a great admirer of Mao Zedong,spawned the Naxalite movement through his writings, the most famous being the 'Historic Eight Documents' which formed the basis of Naxalite ideology . In 1967 'Naxalites' organized the All India Coordination Committee of Communist Revolutionaries(AICCCR), and later broke away from CPI(M).In 1969 AICCCR gave birth to Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist).The objective of the new movement was 'seizure of power through an agrarian revolution'. The strategy was the elimination of the feudal order in the Indian countryside to free the poor from the grasp of the oppressive landlords and he tactics to achieve goal was through guerilla warfare.
This uprising at Naxalbari was crushed by the police within a few months. But although defeated, it unleashed a flow of events which intensified over the years into a political movement that brought about far-reaching changes in India's socio-cultural scene. The fact is that despite the continuing use of the most repressive methods by the police to crush its cadres - and a series of splits that had cracked the movement Naxalism as an ideology which has become a force to reckon with in India. Its continuity can be explained by the persistence and exacerbation of the basic causes that gave it birth – feudal exploitation and oppressiveness of Indian state's repressive policies to silence them whenever they protest.
