Abstract

The article makes an attempt to assess the Naxalite movement through the lens of human security as it is equally important and is linked up with law and order problem and development oriented issues. Appropriate institutions, systems and there relations must work on a formula where there is larger democratic participation in the process of decision-making and development so that it can ensure and improve the concern of human security at large in the region. Timely review of ground reality should be given utmost emphasis while making any comprehensive plan in relation to Naxalite issue keeping in the mind that indulging in any form of war and calculating it from profit and loss perspective will definitely not work in any one's favour, rather it will further escalate and glorify the violence to extreme extent.
