Yes , India has been invaded by Maoists.
Within the realm of my limited knowledge of English, invasion means:
1. (Military) the act of invading with armed forces
2. any encroachment or intrusion an invasion of rats
3. the onset or advent of something harmful, esp of a disease
4. (Medicine / Pathology) Pathol the spread of cancer from its point of origin into surrounding tissues
5. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Botany) the movement of plants to a new area or to an area to which they are not native
I take it that you don't the connotation of the military usage, or the encroachment like that of rats (I would not call the Maoist rats, even if you do) or a disease or movement of plants.
What exactly do you mean?
Do you consider the action by the Pakistani Taliban or the other Taliban operating in NWFP, FATA and North Waziristan as invaders onto Pakistan?
I would however take the US UAVs operating against Pakistanis with Pakistan territory, and Pakistan is a sovereign state, as an invasion.
Do clarify, if you will.
You and Leader are real well learned and we will benefit from your exposition I presume.
