About the book

Who are Urban Naxals or Urban Naxalites?

Urban Naxals are educated people in academia, media, NGOs and urban civil society in India who support violent insurrection against the State. They are often motivated by a violent-Left ideology and seek to achieve their objectives via coordinated violence rather than by democratic means. While the Naxalite movement is often associated with remote tribal areas, Urban Naxalism is a phenomenon in cities and urban centers. Urban Naxals act to amplify and normalize the violent Naxal movements such as the \"People's War Group\", names among the top ten terror groups in the world,  and act as recruiters, propagandists and sources of funds. Naxalism is named as the leading internal security threat to India.

'Urban Maoists live in AC surroundings, move around in big cars and their children study abroad, but they ruin the lives of our poor Adivasi youth here through remote control': PM Modi

'Urban Naxals plotted to kill the PM, huge arms procurement planned' says police
