Despite the Indian government's efforts to tackle poverty, inequality, and resource distribution, the gap between the wealthy and the poor continues to widen, fostering a sense of alienation among the underprivileged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of this underdevelopment lies the Naxalite Movement, which began as a peasant uprising in Naxalbari, West Bengal. What started as a small protest has evolved into a violent and pervasive insurgency, driven by the marginalized and oppressed. The movement, rooted in the dissatisfaction of the poor, landless, and deprived, has undergone numerous transformations and now raises serious questions regarding its ideological foundations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume brings together contributing authors who discuss the multifaceted nature of underdevelopment and Naxalism at both micro and macro levels.
