Description
India is waging an all-out offensive against the last vestiges of its Naxalite rebellion, named after the Darjeeling village in the foothills of the Himalayas where the Maoist-inspired guerrilla movement began nearly six decades ago.
While the military crackdown has some local support, many Indigenous tribal communities in the forests of Bastar say it has failed to distinguish between armed insurgents and ordinary villagers. Somari Negi, whose husband was killed last year by police, says he was an ordinary farmer caught in the crossfire of the conflict. "He didn't carry a gun...But they labeled him a Naxalite and killed him," Somari, 40, told AFP from her mud home. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
