Maoist Insurgency refers to a revolutionary movement inspired by the ideas of Mao Zedong, aiming to overthrow existing governments through armed struggle. This type of insurgency often focuses on rural areas, mobilizing peasants and marginalized communities to challenge state authority and promote socialist ideals. The movement has been prominent in several countries, notably in India, where the Naxalite movement seeks to address issues like poverty and land rights. Maoist insurgents typically employ guerrilla warfare tactics and aim to establish a communist state, often leading to prolonged conflicts with government forces.
