Can anyone please tell What is urban naxalism ? What are it's implications for internal security of India ? How is it different from conventional naxalism ? What is Governments approach to tackle it ?
Recruitment of middle class urban intelligentsia in the Naxal cadres to further the Naxal propaganda/ideology in the mainland.
Implications to internal security: 1. Brainwashing in educational institutions and workplaces 2. Disruption of societal harmony 3. Stalling growth and developmental processes 4. Possibility of violence reaching urban centres
Difference from conventional naxalism: 1. Conventional Naxalism relies on robbery, threats, violence. Urban Naxalism relies on debates, demonstrations and protests. 2. Conventional naxalism is carried out in the open and Urban naxalism mostly happens in the background or under the veil of some other issues.
Govt approach mainly involves around Intelligence activities. Intelligence agencies regularly monitor and keep an eye on suspects to prevent or thwart any security threats. Im not sure if there's any policy out in the public domain that is specifically meant for Urban naxalism.
The term " urban naxals" has been used to refer to those elements of society who live in urban areas ( unlike rural areas where naxals operate) and generally belong to the empowered, educated, intellectual class who empathise with the (rural) naxals and support them morally or logistically.
It is a challenge to internal security as it can be seen as an extended arm of (rural) naxals and hence requires more resources to deal with.
It's different from conventional naxals in the sense that urban naxals are already a part of mainstream society unlike the conventional naxals who are a marginal section who live in backwrdness and poverty.
Govt's approach to deal with them can be seen in the arrest of such ' urban naxals' recently from Mahrashtra who allegedly had been plotting to assassinate the Prime Minister.

Wasn't these urban intellectuals emphathisers existed right from the beginning of naxalism as most of ideological support was given by these people and they formed idealogical backbone of naxalism.. Is this urban naxalism term old wine in new bottle ?

Yes, you are right. It was there pehle se, but with the advent of technology in every field, the thing has gained more pace.
inventing labels is characteristic feature of fasciwaadi log, because it makes it easier to evade questions and degitimising any form of dissent by simply saying --ye urban naxal hai iska mt suno , irrespective of whether the other guy is actually have neutral opinions. ye labels ka trend modi lekar aaya hai use phle kbhi itne labels nhi sune honge kisi ne har din twitter pr nye nye naam churn krte rhte hai ye suar...I have set the field other players can occupy the pitch and take the game forward , thank you gn
The low IQ religitards and the hero-worship culture is responsible for the proliferation of such terminologies. Interestingly, it's not a feature of India alone, all across the world the 'deplorables' of society are ganging up under fascist leaders and inventing idiotic labels like 'race-traitors', 'left liberal', etc. to silence the voices of reason. Perhaps this shall be the crisis of our century for collective humanity, the revolt of the masses against the rule of reason.
I have coined a new term -- Bhagwa Incel Jihaadi but I am not in power and I dont have an army of twitter bots to make it trending so no one would ever create a thread asking about these jihaadis on a platform where intelli-gents of the society scrutinize , debate complex issues
