International campaign announced against India’s Operation Kagaar and timeline to “Naxal-free India” by March 2026
Executive Summary
An international committee aligned with support for the CPI (Maoist) is calling for a protracted, worldwide campaign against India’s Operation Kagaar and the Modi government’s stated objective of eliminating Naxalism by March 31, 2026. The group outlines immediate propaganda amplification, an emergency campaign including an international delegation to India by late November, and synchronized demonstrations in March 2026. India’s Ministry of Home Affairs highlights major security force gains in 2025 and reiterates the goal of a “Naxal-free India” by March 31, 2026, framing the current phase as the most extensive, coordinated push against CPI (Maoist) to date.
Analysis
Transnational far-left networks appear to be mobilizing around Operation Kagaar’s timeline, seeking to internationalize the CPI (Maoist)’s narrative while India intensifies multi-agency counterinsurgency operations. This creates a near-term calendar for messaging and protest activity overseas, with potential flashpoints at Indian diplomatic sites and events aligned to late November 2025 and March 2026.
The International Committee in Support of the People’s War in India announces a “protracted campaign against Operation Kagaar,” urges broad online dissemination of CPI (Maoist) messaging, and sets a late-November deadline to finalize an international delegation’s composition, travel window, and methods. The committee also proposes an international demonstration on March 21 or 28, 2026, in a major European city, with parallel actions in other regions and a formal call and poster to be issued January 1, 2026.
India’s government reports its “biggest-ever” anti-Naxal operation in April–May 2025 at Karreguttalu Hill on the Chhattisgarh–Telangana border, detailing 31 Naxalites killed, 21 encounters over 21 days, large seizures of explosives and weapons, and the destruction of hundreds of hideouts and bunkers. The Home Minister reiterates the goal of a Naxal-free India by March 31, 2026, citing sharp declines in affected districts and incidents compared with 2014.
The committee’s call synchronizes activist timelines with India’s official endpoint for dismantling CPI (Maoist) infrastructure, aiming to offset battlefield losses with international legitimacy, propaganda, and street mobilization. Expect intensified online agitation tied to Operation Kagaar, efforts to build cross-movement solidarity, and organizing that targets Indian government facilities and public diplomacy events abroad around the late-November delegation window and March 2026 demonstration dates.
