Keywords:
Abstract
The dimension of security threats in 21st century underwent drastic shift from traditional to non-traditional threats in which the emergence of non-state actors plays a crucial role as they brought the battlefield in the nation itself. This compromised the security of the citizens at greater extent. In the back drop of this the author seeks to scrutinize the perspectives which played an important role in development of Left Wing Extremism, which become a greatest non-traditional threat ever faced by India. This ideology spreads to States; where social and political rights of the specific community were suppressed since years. But today, what started as a fight for rights has culminated into a predicament in the form of organization called Communist Party of India (Maoist) in 2004. This paper thus try to examine the factors which supported the growth of Left Wing Extremism, changes in approach of the Government from time to time and suggest policy options to deal with the problem.
