Abstract
Using published secondary sources, this article traces the Naxalite conflict in India from its inception in Bengal in the 1960s to its current state. The absence of legitimate political institutions coupled with the corrupt practices of the government and bureaucracy, as well as heavy handed security responses have sustained the Naxalite insurgency in India. Therefore, Indian response needs to evolve by adopting smart responses to overcome the Naxalite insurgency through a combination of hard and soft responses. Therefore, good governance, institutional reforms and the adoption of a population-centric approach will likely contribute towards resolving the Naxalite conflict.
