Naxalite Movement in Telangana

1.1Background and Ideological Roots1.2Formation of CPI (ML)

Background and Ideological Roots

  • The Naxalite Movement originated at Naxalbari in West Bengal in 1967, where peasants and tribal cultivators challenged landlord control over land.
  • The movement was associated with the idea that land should belong to the person who cultivates it and that agrarian transformation was central to revolutionary change.
  • The broader ideological framework drew upon Marxism, Leninism and Maoism, with emphasis on revolutionary struggle against landlordism and imperialism.
  • The CPI(M) split in 1964 reflected differences between the Soviet-oriented and China-oriented approaches within the communist movement.
  • The Naxalbari uprising of May 1967 became the immediate historical reference point for later revolutionary and anti-landlord struggles in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
  • The police firing at Naxalbari on 25 May 1967, in which women and children were among those killed, intensified the revolutionary mobilisation.
