The large number of surrenders indicates that the violent political movement is in disarray
-
The Centre has set March 31, 2026, as the deadline to eliminate the Maoist movement.
But the armed political insurgency that dates back to the late 1960s and presently, centred mainly in the forested areas of central India, may fizzle out even before that. Since CPI (Maoist) general secretary Nambala Keshav Rao, alias Basavaraju, was killed in police action in Chhattisgarh in May, the political group has been in disarray. Many more have been killed in encounters with security forces, and a large number of cadres have surrendered. Close to 300 persons have laid down arms in Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra in the past three days. The movement itself is divided, with a section advocating surrender.

Honour role
What does it take to tell a war story with a sense of truth? From the start, Raghavan says, he was determined that his film would follow the facts. What did soldiers really feel? What thoughts went through their minds? What did it take to override the basic human imperative to survive, in order to keep fighting? The result is Ikkis, which tells the true story of a 21-year-old who secured the victory he wanted, and paid for it with his life. It is a war film that isn't centred on a villain, doesn't seek to promote hate. That puts India, and its heroes, first
