What is Naxalbari uprising?
The [[Naxalbari Uprising]] was a [[West Bengal]]i [[peasant]] [[revolt]] in [[India]] in 1967. It inspired the creation of the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]]. ==Origin== In the 1960s, the [[Soviet Union]] and [[Communist China]] weren’t getting along anymore. So a man by the name of [[Charu Majumdar]] decided that it was a good time to lead a [[revolt]] that was based on [[Mao]]’s [[revolution]] in [[China]]. ==History== From 1965 to 1966, [[Communist]]s got control of Naxalbari, a [[region]] in [[West Bengal]]. But they didn’t appoint [[peasant]]s to as [[minister]]s. So in March 1967, the [[peasant]]s started a [[violent]] [[uprising]]. The [[government]] sent the [[police]] to deal with it so the [[rebel]]s [[kill]]ed one of them. Then the police shot and killed nine [[women]] and one [[child]]. Then the revolt got worse. Then the government sent the [[paramilitary]] to crush the [[rebellion]] and it did. They [[arrest]]ed its leader [[Jangal Santhal]] while its other leader [[Charu Majumdar]] ran away and the other rebel leaders were all killed. [[Category:1967 in Asia]] {{asia-stub}}
