Even if armed rebellion is crushed, as shown by Keralite Maoists training in Jharkhand, as well as increasing Maoist presence in N.E India & the resurgence of Maoist activity in Andhra Pradesh, the breeding grounds of Maoism are just as critical as the armed rebellion, & should be taken just as seriously. The CPI (Maoist) is a banned organization, it's been labeled as a terrorist organization, their literature is banned, so low level political activism which can translate into breeding grounds for armed rebellion should be taken just as seriously as the armed rebellion itself. The cause is just as (if not more) important as the symptom. The ideology of the CPI (Maoist) is just as big a threat as the armed rebellion.
