Synopsis

What is ?Maoism?? What are its roots, and who are the forces waging a war in its name?// The Indian Prime Minister characterizes them as our gravest internal security threat. The Maoists, on the other hand, claim they are the only revolutionary force in India today. The debate in India seems polarized between the hardline advocates of a military response to leftwing extremism on the one hand, and those who sympathize with the Maoists on the other. There is need, however, to look at the roots and origins of left sectarianism and critique it from a Marxist standpoint. //P.M.S. Grewal makes a detailed, careful critique of the Indian Maoists? history, their programme and praxis. Nilotpal Basu unravels ?Maoism? as an anti-thesis of Mao Zedong thought. Vijay Prashad takes a critical look at the international experience of left extremism, especially in Latin America. Excerpts from a 1968 CPI (M) document are reproduced in annexure as a historical backgrounder.
