Naxalbari is a village in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, India. It gained prominence in 1967 when a peasant uprising led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) emerged, advocating for land reforms and social justice. This movement marked the beginning of the Naxalite movement, which aimed to address the grievances of marginalized communities. The Naxalite movement spread across various parts of India, focusing on issues like land rights and economic inequality. It has led to ongoing conflicts between government forces and armed groups, significantly impacting rural development and security in affected regions. The legacy of Naxalbari continues to influence political discourse in India.
