Sendero Luminoso is considered by many scholars of terrorist affairs to be among the world's most elusive, secretive and brutal guerrilla organizations in the twentieth century.
Sendero relied on this history because they clearly understood that the campesinos' desire to return to the past was as strong in the contemporary period as in the 1700s.
Sendero's agenda was to present the events of 1821 as a time in history when Indian blood was wasted for the sole benefit of the white Peruvian elite who used Indian help to obtain independence from Spain.

The comparative strength of Sendero Luminoso to that of the MLN may be equated with the contextual factors which have made their movement much more viable.
Sendero Luminoso has also been strengthened by the fact that it has found support amongst the approximately 250,000 secondary school graduates who are denied admission to Peru's universities each year, and among the hundreds of university graduates who cannot find employment commensurate with their education.
Sendero Luminoso has been more successful than the MLN in its length of activity, the area it controls, its ability to continually obtain resources vital to the movement, and most importantly its ability to activate a larger, more loyal peasant base which has allowed it to disappear when necessary.
