Talk:Naxalite–Maoist insurgency

Untitled

I do not understand the language here and elsewhere- if people are fighting against corruption and injustice and especially for land rights and decent wages why has the government never tried to address these and why is Wikipedia painting them as thugs? Either paint both sides as thugs and criminals or explain each side accurately. Fighting for one's land on one Wikipedia page is seen as just and yet the exact same fight here is painted as extremism — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.22.34.191 (talk) 14:19, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

caste militias in infobox

Salwa Judum was a government sponsored group, but why are the caste militias in the same section as the government in the infobox? That seems to imply that the caste militias were supporting the government. I gave the sources a cursory look but couldn't verify it and as far as I'm aware, that is not true. Should it be removed?

Clean up of outdated article with multiple issues

I am a long timer IP with no registered account. Over the years, I have worked on numerous articles. I arrived on this article, by chance, to add details of roads and other infra being developed in this area (as "state response" to the insurgency). I noticed this article had several issues, which I have fixed:

1. Added the official name Left Wing Extremism (LWE)
2. Fixed the outdated lede, e.g. moved some text to history or outline and update with latest status and stats.
3. Haphazardly grown article with randomly-organically added sections, co-located the related text and sections under the common headings and themes.
4. Expanded some sections e.g. state response and infra development, etc.
5. "Outline" section is duplication of the separate existing "Outline" article on this topic. Move the text from this article to the "outline" text. The "Naxalite–Maoist insurgency" is high level article and it should only contain, summary only and not duplicate the detailed text.
6. Fix unsourced POV statement e.g. replace with sourced text and/or remove unsourced POV.
7. Added a "See also" section
8. Fixed "Further reading and viewing section" e.g. split it into "Further reading" and "External links" sections and remove outdated links.

Note: I have also updated the outdated Red corridor article. Please review the edits and feel free to apply your incremental edits as there is ample scope for the further enhancements. Thank you. 58.182.176.169 (talk) 09:40, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Further reading section cannot be edited by new users due to false positive filtering of emoticons

I tried to make some edits to the Further reading section but one of Wikipedia's filters is blocking any edits to this section. It falsely reported an emoticon in my edits. I have reported the false positive to the maintainers. The changes that I was trying to make were: - Tidy up the link to Walking with the comrades by adding the author and year - Add a reference to Nightmarch — Preceding unsigned comment added by Medsavan (talk • contribs) 06:43, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Consensus to split. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 23:31, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

---

I propose that there should be a separate article on Naxalism (or perhaps Naxalites), describing the ideology of the movement rather than the conflict involving it. This was previously a separate article, but there was a consensus to merge in 2010. I would like to revisit this discussion because I think the Naxal ideology is a distinct topic that is notable enough to warrant a separate article.

The current article largely details the conflict, but I think the sections "Causes" and "Sustainment of Naxal movement" could be spun off into the new article as they describe the groups behind the movement. The new article would have room for expansion to describe the specific military and political groups involved, which are listed at List of Naxalite and Maoist groups in India but without much detail. I can also find sources on topics such as Naxalite literature, which would be too tangential for an article about the conflict.

Support. It's a notable ideology central to a notable event. Ecco2kstan (talk) 21:24, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

@Vigilantcosmicpenguin The general consensus here seems to be support. Are you going to do it, or do you want another person to carry it out? PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:12, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Right, I literally forgot I was going to split this. It'll be my first time splitting an article, so I may need help, but I'll try to get the split done soon. Thanks for reminding me. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 03:35, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
