Why naxalism is so popular and long live movement

After knowing that “who are the Naxalites", next important question is that who do they represent, who do the Naxalites target?? Why this movement is so popular??


Naxalites claim to represent the most suppressed people in India, those who are often left untouched and bypassed by India's development and democratic processes. This group includes the Adivasis, Dalits, and the poorest of the poor, who work as landless labourers for an inadequate payment. Ideologically, they consider that Indians are still to acquire freedom from hunger and deprivation.Their final goal is the overthrow of the present discriminating system and that’s why they are used to targeting the politicians, police officers and men, forest contractors, etc.
Well, right from its origin Naxal movement has remained a point of attention for academicians, journalists and of course, politicians।In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Naxalite movement was so popular that there were reports of brilliant students dropping out of college and universities to join the struggle for the rights of the tribals and landless labourers।Just after uprising in May 1967,the movement was demolished by the police within two months but the Naxalite ideology gained huge popularity in other parts of West Bengal and India within a few years। The Naxalite movement had spread from Andhra Pradesh and Kerala in the south, to Bihar in the east, and Uttar Pradesh and Punjab in the north। It was peculiar to Naxalism that It's not about the physical occupation of and administrative control over land by Its leaders and followers and probably this is the reason of Its lasting popularIt'sy among the economically impoverished and socially oppress ed rural people!
Critics said that as like so many other movements set up with high principles, over the years the Naxalite movement is seen as having lost its vision and having compromised its principles but an endless men and women joining movement shows that many still believe in its cause। Even if the movement declines and is suppressed, its ideology will continue to threaten the Indian ruling powers as long as they fail to put an end to the grinding poverty and social oppression and The miserable living conditions of people nourish the soil for the greening of Naxalism।
