Compact Revolutionary Zone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Compact Revolutionary Zone (also known as the "Red Corridor of armed struggle") [1] is a region that the Communist Party of India (Maoist) and other Naxalites aim to establish as a continuous revolutionary base area from which to advance the people's war in India. The area runs from Nepal, where Maoists were conducting the Nepalese People's War, through parts of six states in eastern India: Bihar, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, and Andhra Pradesh. The intention is to have a continuous stretch of territory under their influence and control, with the ultimate goal of eventually liberating the entire zone. Nepal Maoists acceptance of multi-party democracy has severely dented their hopes of getting support from them for armed struggle for the time being.
