Basavaraju killing: Is India finally winning the decades-long war against Maoist insurgency?
Could India's decades-long jungle insurgency finally be approaching its end?Last week, the country's most-wanted Maoist, Nambala Keshava Rao - popularly known as Basavaraju - was killed along with 26 others in a major security operation in the central state of Chhattisgarh. Home Minister Amit Shah called it "the most decisive strike" against the insurgency in three decades. One police officer also died in the death marks more than a tactical victory - it signals a breach in the Maoists' last line of defence in Bastar, the forested heartland where the group carved out its fiercest stronghold since the also known as "Naxalites" after the 1967 uprising in Naxalbari village in West Bengal, have regrouped over the decades to carve out a "red corridor" across central and eastern India - stretching from Jharkhand in the east to Maharashtra in the west and spanning more than a third of the country's districts. Former prime minister Manmohan Singh had described the insurgency as India's "greatest internal security threat".The armed struggle for Communist rule has claimed nearly 12,000 lives since 2000, according to the South Asian Terrorism Portal. The rebels say they fight for the rights of indigenous tribes and the rural poor, citing decades of state neglect and land Maoist movement - officially known as Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) - took formal shape in 2004 with the merger of key Marxist-Leninist groups into the CPI (Maoist). This party traces its ideological roots to a 1946 peasant uprising in the southern state of Telangana. Now, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government pledging to end Maoism by March 2026, the battle-hardened rebellion stands at a crossroads: could this truly be the end - or just another pause in its long, bloody arc?"There will be a lull. But Marxist-Leninist movements have transcended such challenges when the top leadership of the Naxalites were killed in the 70s and yet we are talking about Naxalism," said N Venugopal, a journalist, social scientist and long-time observer of the movement, who is both a critic and sympathiser of the Maoists. One of the senior-most officials in India's home ministry who oversaw anti-Maoist operations, MA Ganapathy, holds a different view."At its core, the Maoist movement was an ideological struggle - but that ideology has lost traction, especially among the younger generation. Educated youth aren't interested anymore," says Mr Ganapathy."With Basavaraju neutralised, morale is low. They're on their last leg."The federal home ministry's latest report notes a 48% drop in violent incidents in Maoist-related violence - from 1,136 in 2013 to 594 in 2023 - and a 65% decline in related deaths, from 397 to 138. However, it acknowledges a slight rise in security force casualties in 2023 compared to 2022, attributed to intensified operations in core Maoist report says Chhattisgarh remained the worst-affected state in 2023, accounting for 63% of all Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) incidents and 66% of the related deaths. Jharkhand followed, with 27% of the violence and 23% of the deaths. The remaining incidents were reported from Maharashtra, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. The collapse of Maoism in Chhattisgarh, a stronghold of the insurgency, offers key clues to the movement's broader decline.A decade ago, the state's police were seen as weak, according to Mr Ganapathy."Today, precise state-led strikes, backed by central paramilitary forces, have changed the game. While paramilitary held the ground, state forces gathered intelligence and launched targeted operations. It was clear role delineation and coordination," he Ganapathy adds that access to mobile phones, social media, roads and connectivity have made people more aware and less inclined to support an armed underground movement."People have become aspirational, mobile phones and social media have become widespread and people are exposed to the outside world. Maoists also cannot operate in hiding in remote jungles while being out of sync with new social realities. "Without mass support, no insurgency can survive," he says.A former Maoist sympathiser, who did not want to be named, pointed to a deeper flaw behind the movement's collapse: a political disconnect."They delivered real change - social justice in Telangana, uniting tribespeople in Chhattisgarh - but failed to forge it into a cohesive political force," he the heart of the failure, he argued, was a dated revolutionary vision: building isolated "liberated zones" beyond the state's reach and "a theory to strike the state through a protracted people's war"."These pockets work only until the state pushes back. Then the zones collapse, and thousands die. It's time to ask - can a revolution really be led from cut-off forestlands in today's India?"The CPI (Maoist)'s 2007 political document clings to a Mao-era strategy: of creating a "liberated zone" and "encircling the cities from the countryside." But the sympathiser was blunt: "That doesn't work anymore." The party still retains some popular support in a few isolated pockets, primarily in the tribal regions of eastern Maharashtra, southern Chhattisgarh and parts of Odisha and Jharkhand - but without a strong military operations by state forces have significantly weakened the Maoist military infrastructure in their strongholds in southern Chhattisgarh. Cadres and leaders are now being killed regularly, reflecting the rebels' growing inability to defend Venugopal believes the strategy needs rethinking - not underground struggle has its place, he said, but "the real challenge is blending it with electoral politics".In contrast, Mr Ganapathy sees little hope for the Maoists to mount a meaningful fightback in the near future and argues that the time has come for a different approach - dialogue."It would be wise for them to go for talks now and perhaps unconditionally or even lay down the conditions and let the government consider them. This is the time to approach the government instead of unnecessarily sacrificing their own cadres, without a purpose," he enjoy support in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana from mainstream political parties. In Telangana, both the ruling Congress and the main opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) have backed calls for a ceasefire, along with 10 smaller Left parties - an effort widely seen as aimed at protecting the group's remaining leaders and cadres. The Maoist movement, rooted in past struggles against caste oppression, still carries social legitimacy in parts of these states. Civil society activists have also joined the push for a truce."We, along with other civil rights groups, demanded a two-step process - an immediate ceasefire followed by peace talks," said Ranjit Sur, general secretary of the Kolkata-based group Association for Protection of Democratic states remain resilient strongholds in part because they are rich in minerals - making them sites of intense resource battles. Mr Venugopal believes this is key to the CPI (Maoist's) enduring for instance, is India's sole producer of tin concentrates and moulding sand, and a leading source of coal, dolomite, bauxite and high-grade iron ore, according to the ministry of mines. It accounts for 36% of the country's tin, 20% iron ore, 18% coal, 11% dolomite and 4% of diamond and marble reserves. Yet, despite strong interest, mining companies - both global and national - have long struggled to access these resources."Multinational companies couldn't enter because the Maoist movement, built on the slogan 'Jal, Jangal, Jameen (Water, Forest, Land),' asserted that forests belong to tribespeople - not corporations," Mr Venugopal with the Maoists now weakened, at least four Chhattisgarh mines are set to go to "preferred bidders" after successful auctions in May, according to an official notification. Mr Venugopal believes that the resistance won't die with the death of Maoist leaders."Leaders may fall, but the anger remains. Wherever injustice exists, there will be movements. We may not call them Maoism anymore - but they'll be there."

Mizoram end Swami Vivekananda Men's U20 NFC Group D with perfect record
Narainpur (Chhattisgarh), [India], May 21 (ANI): Mizoram defeated Jharkhand 3-1 on their last Group D matchday in the Swami Vivekananda U20 Men's National Football Championship at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground on Tuesday. In the other match, Maharashtra defeated Tripura 2-0, as per the official website of the All India Football Federation (AIFF). The side from the north-east, who had already qualified for the quarter-finals before their last group stage match, remained unbeaten and end with 12 points in Group D. They are followed by Maharashtra with nine, Tripura with six, Jharkhand with three, and Himachal Pradesh with none. Mizoram started with an early lead in their 3-1 win against Jharkhand, as PC Pazawna scored from inside the box in the 4th minute. John Lalrinawma doubled the lead for his side with a header from a corner in the 11th minute, followed by Ngurthanmawia's right-footed strike in the 87th minute. Birbal Mohli, in the 38th minute, scored the only goal for Jharkhand from a defensive error as the Mizoram defender gave away the ball right outside the box. In the other game, a closely-contested battle and a goal-less first half, Kshitij Maral opened the scoring for Maharashtra in the 62nd minute as he took a right-footed shot from inside the box followed by Eashan Sartape in the 94th minute as he took a sleek touch beating the last defender and sent the ball through the keepers legs to double the lead. Punjab qualified for the quarter-finals of the Swami Vivekananda Men's U20 NFC after defeating Ladakh 8-1 in their Group C match at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground on Monday. Needing three points to secure the top spot and a place in the quarter-finals, Punjab went on to complete a demolition job over Ladakh, after the latter had the lead, albeit for a brief period, early on in the game. Punjab led 3-1 at half-time. Imran Ali's eighth-minute goal for Ladakh was cancelled out just about 60 seconds later by Punjab's Gaurav Singh, who smashed in a rebound. Harmandeep Singh, in the 25th minute, poked a bouncing ball over the Ladakh goalkeeper's head to help Punjab put one foot in the knockout rounds. Gurmeet Singh doubled the lead in the 43rd minute, when he skipped past the keeper and slid it into the goal. Punjab were well and truly in the driver's seat, and they continued their dominance in the second half. Arun Kumar Chandla struck two in close proximity in the 68th and 69th minutes, before Damandeep Kumar netted the sixth in the 79th. Chandla completed his hat-trick in the 85th, and Arshvir Singh added the final nail in the coffin in injury time (90+2'). Punjab thus finished top of Group C with nine points. They will face Mizoram in the quarter-final on Friday. (ANI)

CureBay Raises USD 21 Mn Series B to Scale Rural Healthcare Delivery
The Series B round was led by Bertelsmann India Investments, with continued support from existing investors Elevar Equity and British International Investment. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. CureBay, a hybrid healthcare platform focused on rural India, has raised USD 21 million in a Series B funding round led by Bertelsmann India Investments. The round also saw participation from existing investors Elevar Equity and British International Investment. The capital will be deployed to strengthen CureBay's proprietary tech stack and fuel its expansion into new states such as Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh. The company plans to invest in AI-driven platform upgrades, rural-first workflow automation tools, and proprietary algorithms that support predictive healthcare and operational efficiency. "We are focused on addressing healthcare access challenges in underserved regions," said Priyadarshi Mohapatra, Founder and CEO of CureBay. "The funding will support the next phase of our scale-up, including technology development, team building, and operational expansion." Founded in 2021 by Priyadarshi Mohapatra, Shobhan Mohapatra, and Sanjay Swain, CureBay was created to bridge the healthcare gap in rural India, where doctor access is limited, and hospital visits often lead to income loss and exploitation by healthcare brokers. "They get lured into clinics that promise quick treatment, pay money, and often get subpar care. That's the reason they avoid traveling for care," Mohapatra explained. To address this, CureBay provides concierge-style support for rural patients referred to tertiary hospitals. A dedicated assistant accompanies them—like a trusted family doctor—ensuring they receive the right treatment without confusion or exploitation. CureBay's hybrid model combines tech-enabled eClinics with a digital infrastructure that offers doctor consultations, diagnostics, pharmacy delivery, and referrals—all under one platform. Its unique "circle" clinic network is supported by integrated logistics, local diagnostics, and medical partnerships. "While most rural solutions remain fragmented, CureBay uniquely delivers the full continuum of care under one platform," said Pankaj Makkar, Managing Director, Bertelsmann India Investments. "This investment reflects our commitment to mission-driven companies transforming Bharat." CureBay operates over 150 eClinics across Odisha and Chhattisgarh, delivering affordable and accessible healthcare to rural households. Its preventive care program has 90,000 active members with a renewal rate exceeding 60%. The company reported that its Balasore and Puri circles have achieved operational profitability, showcasing the viability of its rural-first healthcare model.
