Prime Minister Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah deserve congratulations for crushing Naxalism, the Maoist insurgency that former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh once called India’s greatest internal security threat. This extraordinary achievement was accomplished through years of patient counterinsurgency, building roads and telecom networks in once-isolated jungles, sending not just paramilitary forces but all administrative branches (including those overseeing welfare benefits) to every area once controlled by Naxals.
