Maoist Insurgent War In India Flag of India Communist Party of India (Maoist) Flag   India faces many security challenges, from both internal and external enemies, but in the words of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who spoke in 2007, he said that the Naxalite Maoist rebel insurgency as the "single biggest internal security challenge facing India." These rebels operate in eastern and central India, in very poor rural districts. The communist rebels are called "Naxalites" after the village of Naxalbari in West Bengal, the location of a communist revolutionary rural uprising in 1967. Though security forces defeated that uprising, communist rebels, most of whom follow the teachings of Chinese communist revolutionary leader Mao Tse-Tung, continued to fight the government. Since the Naxalite Uprising of 1967, the Maoist insurgency has resulted in approximately 6,000 deaths. In September and October of 2009, the Maoist rebels and government forces engaged in increased fighting. The period from 2009 though the end of 2013 saw a definite increase in Maoist guerrilla activity.
