What Is The Song Naxalite About?

The Naxalite-Maoist insurgency is an ongoing conflict[11] between Maoist groups, known as Naxalites or Naxals, and the Indian government.[12]
The insurgency started as a peasant rebellion in the eastern Indian village of Naxalbari in 1967 and has currently spread to a large swath in the central and eastern parts of the country referred to as the "Red Corridor".[13] In 2006 Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called the Naxalites "The single biggest internal security challenge ever faced by our country."[12] In 2009, he said the country was "losing the battle against Maoist rebels".[14]
Naxalites claim to be supported by the poorest rural populations, especially Adivasis.[15] They have frequently targeted tribals, police and government workers in what they say is a fight for improved land rights and more jobs for neglected agricultural labourers and the poor[16] and follow a strategy of rural rebellion similar to that of the protracted People's War against the government.[17]
The Indian government's Home Secretary G K Pillai has said that he recognises that there are legitimate grievances regarding local people's access to forest land and produce and the distribution of benefits from mining and hydro power developments,[18] but claims that the Naxalites' long-term goal is to establish an Indian Marxist state. The Home Secretary stated that the government had decided to tackle the Naxalites head-on, and take back much of the lost areas.
