Red Sun: Travels in Naxalite Country

Couverture
Penguin Books India, 2009 - 432 pages
Spread over fifteen of the country's twenty-eight states, PBI - India's Maoist movement is now one of the PBI - World's biggest and most sophisticated extreme-left movements. Hardly a week passes without people dying in strikes and counter-strikes by the Maoists--interchangeably known as the Naxalites--and the police and paramilitary forces. In this brilliant and sobering examination of the 'Other PBI - India', Sudeep Chakravarti combines reportage, political analysis and PBI - Individual case histories as he takes us to the heart of Maoist zones in the country--areas of extreme destitution, bad governance and perpetual war.
