The Indian state ignored the villages, left them underdeveloped and unemployed to a point where the people have naturally opted for other methods to retaliate and today it's called Maoism. The official data reveals that naxalism has reached 165 of the country's 604 districts and as many as 15 of Indian states are living under the threat of this gravest internal security threat. The sympathizers argue that naxals have been dispossessed, isolated, neglected, raped, murdered, pushed out of their land, and so and so on for many years by the government and the police force. However, they have on many occasions outlined their strategies and aims that is nothing less than toppling the democratic government.
The divide is becoming wider, intellectually and emotionally. The myth of united India has vanished, if at all there was one. It's high time that the government to hunt for practical confidence-building measures for the dissident masses. In this era of fast dissemination of information, a revolt such as the Jasmine Revolution in the Arab, can bring in anarchy and instability to the state.
