The contraction is not surprising. Armed struggle has found few takers beyond select <strong>pockets (A small isolated group of people) <\/strong>untouched by development or linkages with the welfare state; and far from consolidating its presence \u2014 a prospect that seemed possible following the merger of two major Naxalite groups into the <strong>proscribed (Command against) <\/strong>Communist Party of India (Maoist) \u2014 the organisation is limited to the remote and densely forested terrains of central and east-central India. Rather than mobilising <strong>discontents (A longing for something better than the present situation) <\/strong>with the Indian state by projecting its weaknesses and ensuring inclusion and welfare, the Maoists have privileged armed struggle, invited state <strong>repression (the state of being controlled by force) <\/strong>and sought to use this to recruit <strong>adherents (Someone who believes and helps to spread the doctrine of another)<\/strong>. Such a strategy has led to some of India\u2019s poorest people, the tribals in Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand in particular, being caught up in endless violence, and also caused severe losses to the Maoists as well as anti-insurgent security forces. This has followed the predictable path of most Maoist <strong>insurrections (a usually violent attempt to take control of a government) <\/strong>that retained armed struggle to achieve their aims \u2013 in the Philippines and Peru, for example \u2014 leaving behind death and violence rather than enabling genuine uplift of the poor. Despite these, the Maoists have not <strong>budged (Move very slightly) <\/strong>from their flawed understanding of the nature of the Indian state and democracy, unwilling to accept that the poor people, whom they claim to represent, seek greater engagement with the electoral and welfare system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Maoist insurgency still has potency in South Bastar in Chhattisgarh, the Andhra-Odisha border and in some districts in Jharkhand. These States must focus on expansive welfare and infrastructure building even as security forces try to weaken the Maoists. Frequent <strong>skirmishes (A minor short-term fight) <\/strong>and attacks have not only affected the security forces but also left many tribal civilians caught in the crossfire. A purely security-driven approach fraught with human rights\u2019 violations has only added to the alienation among the poor in these areas. The Maoists must be compelled to give up their armed struggle and this can only happen if the tribal people and civil society activists promoting peace are also empowered. The Indian government should not be satisfied with the mere weakening of the Maoist insurgency and reduce commitments made for the developmental needs of some districts of concern in States such as Jharkhand, as its Chief Minister has alleged. The Union government and the States must continue to learn from successes such as the expansion of welfare and rights paradigms in limiting the movement and failures that have led to the continuing spiral of violence in select districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/sbi-clerk\/?refcode=2806&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Sep+29%2C+2021%3B+Day+149_290921_SBICM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SBICM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/SBI_Clerk_090821-1-1024x128.jpg\" alt=\"SBI_Clerk Mains Free Mock\" class=\"wp-image-7329\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improve your wordpower with the help of this daily recurring series where we analyze the difficult words published in prominent articles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8814,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,25,15,8,5,2,31,49,16,47],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-8809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ibps-clerk","category-ibps-po","category-ibps-rrb-clerk","category-ibps-rrb-po","category-ibps-so","category-rbi-assistant","category-sbi-clerk","category-sbi-po","category-ssc-cgl","category-vocabulary","tag-editorials-difficult-words-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Hindu Editorial Vocabulary\u2013 Sep 29, 2021;
