Since the last five decades, India has been grappling with the threat of Naxalism. The Naxal movement in India was founded upon Mao-Tse-Tung's radical philosophy. Its impact is growing steadily through the mobilization of rural India's discouraged, oppressed, vulnerable, and underprivileged people. In India, about 223 districts in 20 states have been affected by Naxal violence. In this movement, more than 20,000 armed cadres are operating. Its primary goals are to challenge the exploitative nature of state machinery and combat the security forces' brutal oppression. In return, the state wishes to re-establish law and order by encountering the Naxalites violently without caring for their human rights. This paper is divided into four parts in this context. The initial segment explores the origin and evolution of Naxalism in India. The next segment is concerned with the sensitivity and strategies of Naxalites. The third section delineates the state's violent suppression to neutralize the Naxal insurgency. And the last section consists of 'Salwa Judum' and violations of human rights in the 'Red Corridor' of India, and it also proposes several remedies.
