The Indian government, under the leadership of Amit Shah, has reportedly made significant strides in dismantling Naxalism, aiming for its complete eradication by March 31, 2026. This strategy involves sustained occupation of former Maoist strongholds, mapping, and holding territory, marking a shift from managing the conflict to systematically dismantling the insurgency. The movement has reportedly lost senior leadership, operational capacity, and cadre confidence, with hundreds surrendering and districts slipping from Maoist control.
