Is Death Of Top Maoist Leader Basavaraju The Final Blow To Naxalism In India? | Explained

On May 21, 2025, elite Indian forces killed Nambala Keshav Rao, alias Basavaraju — the mastermind behind India’s deadliest Maoist ambushes. The 70-year-old CPI (Maoist) general secretary was eliminated in Abhujmad after a 72-hour offensive. His death marks a major blow to the decades-old insurgency. Security forces hailed it as a turning point in the fight against Naxalism. With top leadership gone and recruitment declining, many now believe the Maoist movement is nearing its end. But is this truly the final chapter of India’s Naxal insurgency?
