The Constitution enjoined on the state the obligation to bring about social transformation; but this obligation inscribed in the Constitution never got fully translated into practice, resulting in the emergence of various movements, during the past fifty years, principal among them being the four decades old Naxalite movement. This movement is political in nature but has distinct social and economic roots. The movement, as a part of the people's struggle has taken different forms and adopted a variety of strategies and instruments during its long course. There has been correspondingly a series of actions on the part of the state and its agencies.
