Maoism as an ideology was a major failure in China. Related ideology failed as well in USSR, Vietnam and Laos. All it did was hold up the progress of those countries. It is disturbing that decades later, it still survive in India and Nepal, and has morphed into a parallel administration, with just as much factionalism as real parties. Likewise, it rolls into villages and forces them to give up food, men, money and even shelter because the Naxalites do not care if you believe in their ideology or not. If you try to participate in the Democratic process and build a better future, they kill you, because people prospering under Democratic means will undermine any support they still have left. State and central governments should work together with security forces to stamp out this movement, and if they don't give up, they must be killed. Simple as that.
