The Naxalite–Maoist insurgency is an ongoing protracted people's war between Maoist revolutionaries and the Indian state. Multiple communist parties are involved, including the CPI (Maoist), CPIML Liberation, and the People's Liberation Army of Manipur. The conflict began in Naxalbari village in West Bengal in 1967, and over 3,000 Naxalites were killed between 1999 and 2016.[1] Former prime minister Manmohan Singh described the Naxalite insurgency as the largest internal security threat ever faced by India.[2]
