The account is a political analysis of the ‘greatest internal security threat’ to the nation. After forty four years of the spring thunder the Naxalite movement haunts the status quo. It, despite many difficulties, doesn’t go into the oblivion, rather comes back and tries to uphold it’s alternative social structure and politics. The author Jan Myrdal after spending a fortnight among the protagonists of Jantana Sarkar, questions the military solution as the panacea of all ‘evils’. He, on the contrary traces back to history and testifies what the Maoists are upholding todayjustice, equality and liberty- the forgotten chapters of the Indian freedom movement in general and various government resolutions in particular.
