In Small Wars & Insurgencies, an article by Srobana Bhattacharya on the recent history and current state of the Maoist conflict in India. Bhattacharya argues that in the 1960s, the goal of the Maoists was to achieve land redistribution and the elimination of class enemies. The current goal however is to affect caste identities and achieve political control of areas. This has resulted in the Maoists becoming more involved in local crime and business networks.
