The Naxalite movement is a far-left, pro-communist (specifically Maoist) uprising that started in India. It all began in 1967 in Naxalbari, a village in West Bengal's Darjeeling district. Radical communist leaders such as Charu Majumdar, Kanu Sanyal, and Jangal Santhal led the movement. These leaders split from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) to start an armed revolt of peasants against local landlords.
