Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Ared corridor, stretching from Nepal in the north to the State of Andhra Pradesh, India in the south, grips the public imagination in South Asia. Despite the collapse of socialism and the demise of communist governments across the world, Maoist Movements have (re)emerged as a significant force in this region. India and Nepal have had people across the country mobilized in protracted guerrilla war aimed at annihilating class enemies, creating liberated zones and seizing state power through the barrel of the gun.
