Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article discusses the relationship between the Maoist Movement in India and the multiple forms of revolt that have taken place across the globe since 2011. While the revolts since the Arab Spring have gained some international attention, it is unclear why the Maoist Movement in India, a militant revolt aimed at achieving social justice and radical change in India, is rarely included in revolutionary discourse. In this sense, my overall objective in this essay is to reconnect the insurrectionary movement that is taking place in the forests of Central/Eastern India to the global insurgency through a comparative critique of resistance discourses, and as a way of understanding the dialectic between insurgent ideology and militant revolt in the contemporary period. Through a rigorous critique of the intensification of unequal development in India and the subsequent reaction by the Maoists, I hope to draw close attention to the conditions of all workers who have suffered as a result of gross inequalities intrinsic to globalized capital and who have taken to the streets in massive protests.
