Case study Bihar

Article Abstract:

The politically crucial Indian state of Bihar has experienced years of conflict between Maoist groups and private militias maintained by upper-caste landowners, responsible for many atrocities. However, the Maoist insurgency seems to be growing stronger along with an increased flow of arms into the area, supplementing local production of weapons, due to ineffective action by the state government, hampered by the lack of a counterinsurgency force and police personnel shortage.
