From Counter-Insurgency to Post-LWE Stabilisation: State Consolidation and the Risk of Resurgence in India

Author(s) Ms. Hitaishi Bharti, Dr. Sameer Singh
Country India
Abstract Ministry of Home Affairs data record a fall in LWE-related violent incidents from 1,936 in 2010 to 234 in 2025, and the number of districts officially classified as LWE-affected fell to zero in March-April 2026, although 38 districts remain under continuing support categories. This article asks how the contraction of Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) has changed India’s counter-insurgency challenge, particularly with regard to post-LWE stabilisation, state consolidation and the prevention of resurgence. Using qualitative document analysis and descriptive longitudinal evidence, it treats India as the macro-case and Chhattisgarh’s Bastar division as the principal illustration. The article distinguishes three dimensions of state presence: security reach, infrastructure and connectivity, and civilian institutional consolidation. It finds that the first two have expanded substantially, while civilian institutional consolidation is less clearly demonstrated: evidence on functioning civilian institutions in former core areas is limited and uneven, and some services are delivered through security camps. The article argues that the central challenge has shifted from suppressing insurgent capacity to converting security gains into durable civilian institutions, and treats resurgence as a conditional analytical risk rather than a prediction. Its contribution is a framework that separates stabilisation from state consolidation in analysing India’s post-LWE phase.
Keywords Left-Wing Extremism, counter-insurgency, stabilisation, state consolidation, resurgence, India.
