	Opposition, Insurgency and the Quest --- Rajesh Gopalan
		The single landmark event of the sixties is the Naxalbari movement, which erupted in March 1967 as a peasant uprising, but which came to assume a far greater position of historical significance.
		The period between the Naxalbari movement and the Emergency also gave rise to what is known as the civil liberties, or the human rights movement, which was to further blossom in the eighties.
		Naxalbari came to the fore precisely when the issue of parliamentary versus extra-parliamentary opposition came to a crisis point.

	International Nepal Solidarity Network » Naxalism in India
		Naxalbari happened in 1967, following the Cultural Revolution in China in the midst of one of the most tumultuous periods of the 20th century.
		It is important to note that central to the theoretical formulation of the Naxalbari path was a reliance on peasantry as the main force of the Indian revolution, not the oppressed indigenous tribal population in the dwindling forests of India.
		The failure of Naxalbari, despite commendable sacrifices by its cadres, is rooted in the changing scenario in the class configuration of rural India.

	The Naxalite Left at the Beginning of the Millennium
		At the time of Naxalbari it was not possible to continue at the high pitch of struggle for long.
		Naxalbari happened when the whole world appeared to be taking a new turn when the Indian ruling classes were caught up in the first major crisis in post-colonial India, or when many a capital of the advanced capitalist countries were ringing with anti-capitalist slogans accompanied by large scale mass movements.
		Today with the completion of the task of liberation of colonies leading to emergence of independent nation states and with the unfolding of the phenomenon of globalisation of capital it is becoming clear that the old characterisation should be given a fresh thought.

		The strategy was the elimination of the feudal order in the Indian countryside to free the poor from the clutches of the oppressive landlords and replace the old order with an alternative one that would implement land reforms.
		The uprising at Naxalbari was crushed by the police within a few months.
		Ironically enough, although the uprising in Naxalbari in May 1967 was crushed by the police within two months, the Naxalite ideology gained rapid currency in other parts of West Bengal and India within a few years.

		The result of the revolutionary line was the outbreak of armed struggle in Naxalbari in the spring of 1967.

	The road from Naxalbari
		THE organ of the Communist Party of China (CPC) seemed to be consumed by a sense of euphoria as it used these words to describe the Naxalbari uprising in West Bengal in May 1967.
		This optimism, was obviously motivated by similar hopes expressed by the leadership of the Naxalbari uprising - Charu Mazumdar, Kanu Sanyal and Jangal Santhal.
		There was a time when as many as two dozen naxalite outfits were operating in the country, all claiming to be the real inheritors of the legacy of Naxalbari, and even indulging in annihilation of members of other groups branding them "class enemies".

	`Thunder' is just a memory
		THE naxalite movement, which originated at Naxalbari in Darjeeling district of West Bengal and spread to different parts of the country, is today confined to three districts in the State - Bankura, Purulia and West Midnapore.
		The movement, started under the leadership of Charu Mazumdar and Kanu Sanyal at Naxalbari on May 25, 1967, was a peasant uprising for land.
		But soon the inspiration of Naxalbari was rejected and in its place the CPI(M-L) embraced a policy of class enemy annihilation: no mass organisation, no constructive plan for land reforms and no definite programme for a mass movement.

	Memory and Narrative blog, University of Warwick
		In the context of Naxalbari, narratives of glorious struggle and sacrifice for the cause enable a denial of feelings of fear, trauma, and anxiety in the face of possible death.
		In the context of Naxalbari, identification with ‘good’ revolutionary violence seems to foreclose the possibility of identifying both the violence of the self, and its fragility under trauma.
		In the case of Naxalbari, I have shown how certain experiences of pain and violence are valorised (and thereby domesticated) while others remain shrouded in silence, subject to collective disavowal and constant repudiation.

	One Year of Naxalbari Struggle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		If the Naxalbari peasant struggle has any lesson for us, it is this: militant struggles must be carried on not for land, crops etc., but for the seizure of state power.
		It is in Naxalbari that this path has been adopted for the first time in the history of peasant struggles in India.
		The heroic leaders of the Naxalbari struggle are still living and the reactionary government, in spite of all their attempts, has not been able to destroy them.

	Rediff On The NeT: Revolutionary writer and PWG leader Dr Vara Vara Rao speaks about the rising Naxalite tide
		Thirty years after the Naxalbari uprising in West Bengal's Siligiri district on May 23, 1967, Naxal writer and PWG leader Dr Vara Vara Rao -- or VV, as he is known in extremist circles -- speaks his mind about the movement and its future to Sandesh Prabhudesai.
		Naxalbari laid down a path of rejecting parliamentary politics, taking up agrarian armed revolution, and forming the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist).
		The only solution to it is to follow the path of Naxalbari and free ourselves from these semi-faced, semi-colonial forces, paving way to a real democracy.

		The bustle of Siliguri is 35 km away, while the airplane that I came out of only hours ago is probably still parked on the tarmac of Bagdogra airport that is 11 km away.
		And yet, as one approaches Naxalbari on the road, the small town noises of Bagdogra suddenly give way to the 4 p.m.
		For a place that has been supposedly under the watchful eye of a party that prioritises the concerns of the farming class, it was nothing short of a scandal.

		Sanyal recalls that during 1967 when the Naxalbari movement began, there was a great debate on involvement of people vis-a-vis taking up direct actions on the class enemies.

		With roots going back forty years, to the time of the Naxalbari movement in West Bengal, the Maoist movement is spreading rapidly across the least developed parts of the country.

		These struggles were modelled after the Naxalbari uprising and were initiated by various members of the All-India Coordination Committee of Communist Revolutionaries (AICCCR) or its successor, the CPI(ML), as well as by Naxalite groups outside the AICCCR fold (mainly the Maoist Communist Centre).
		As PU leaders see it, all the parties which merged together to form the present PU were part of the “third trend” prevailing in the CPI(ML) camp in the early 1980s.
		Parties of the third trend upheld the Naxalbari uprising, the positive and historical role of the original CPI(ML) and of Charu Mazumdar as the founder leader, and the basic line of the original CPI(ML).

	An Ideological Reading of Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi
		The existing lacunae primarily have to do with the lack of perspective on the part of many film makers to see things in their socio-historical context and to grasp the link between the past and present.
		This perhaps could explain the reason why significant events, whether it is the Naxalbari peasant uprising or the Emergency, of our post-independent political history have not been made into meaningful films.
		Quite naturally students are attracted to the clarion call of Naxalbari, which symbolises a revolt against everything rotten within the communist movement.

		I got somewhat involved in the anti-Vietnam war movement not so much because it was a war of aggression by the US but more so because it was against communists.
		In the midst of all this came the news of the Naxalbari peasant revolt (a rebellion of landless peasants in the North Bengal district of Darjeeling in 1967.-ed) and the division in the communist movement, in what was then the Chinese and Soviet line.
		In retrospect I think all this was emotional and not based on a serious understanding of world situation, the prospects of success of Naxalbari or the two lines in the communist movement.
