Compact Revolutionary Zone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Compact Revolutionary Zone (also known as the "Red Corridor of armed struggle") ^[1]) is a region that the Communist Party of India (Maoist) and other Naxalites aim to establish as a continuous revolutionary base area from which to advance the people's war in India. The area runs from Nepal, where Maoists are conducting the Nepalese People's War, through parts of six states in eastern India: Bihar, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, and Andhra Pradesh. The intention is to have a continuous stretch of territory under their influence and control, with the ultimate goal of eventually liberating the entire zone. They met with some initial successes,but of late, they have come under tremendous pressure to achieve this zone. Nepal maoists acceptance of multi party democracy have severely dented their hopes of getting support from them for armed struggle. Indian maoists have been giving press meets of the success in Nepal but they failed to understand that India does not emulate Nepal Monarchy.
