That article has links to several other related articles, so I won't post the links here. Basically India seems to have a nice "little" rebellion going on.
What do you guys think about this whole issue? Does this have the potential to de-rail India's economy (along with many other issues) in the future?

Have I been living under a rock or something? It hadn't occured to me that India was this unstable, I did not even know they had a rebel faction opposing the current government and even resorting to violence. Last time I heard about India, it was about its rapidly improved economy.

You'de be surprised how many countries are currently engaged in a civil war, insurgency, border dispute or just general political unrest (corruption, bombings, assasinations, coups etc). I wouldn't say it's exactly the norm, but close. Outside of the West, things are much less stable, even for developed, modern countries.

I only heard something briefly about it a couple of weeks ago, but this is the first time I have found any specific information about it.
I was also quite surprised when I read something somewhere else that said that the Indian government doesn't even control 20% of the country, the rebels do.

Even the UK has this ****. The IRA kept blowing **** up for three decades.
And the US has the ALF and all the pro-lifers.

India seems to be surviving the Kashmiri militants and its cold war with Pakistan, I'm sure it's capable of adapting to Maoists.

As a country 1/3rd the size of the United States that's 50 years old with ~ 1 billion people who practice an untold number of religions and speak over 15 different languages... I think India ain't doing too bad for itself.
The US makes up for the lack of insurgents and civil wars with the highest murder rate in the developed world, and more crazy weirdos then anywhere else on the planet (subjective).
