This study shows the evolution of the naxalite movement in India from a pre organizational stage in the first decade of its existence to the current stage of the CPI (Maoist) as an organized movement that has been described by the former Indian Prime Minister as the 'greatest internal security threat faced by the country'. This book contains in part one, an in-depth analysis of the peasant uprising in Naxalbari and Srikakulam and assessing it in a theoretical framework of Maoist revolutionary strategy. Part two carries essays that review the course of the movement at various points of time.
