Spread over fifteen of the country's twenty-eight states, India's Maoist movement is now one of the world's biggest and most sophisticated extreme-left movements. Hardly a week passes without people dying in strikes and counter-strikes by the Maoistsamp;mdash;interchangeably known as the Naxalitesamp;mdash;and the police and paramilitary forces.
In this brilliant and sobering examination of the 'Other India', Sudeep Chakravarti combines reportage, political analysis and individual case histories as he takes us to the heart of Maoist zones in the countryamp;mdash;areas of extreme destitution, bad governance and perpetual war.
