Abstract
The article tries to geographically locate the pockets where such forms of crime are the most prevalent and do a trend analysis for these states over a period of five years. In addition to this, the article models left wing extremist activities across 12 severely affected states in India for a period of nine years from 2008-2017 in a generalized method of moments (GMM) set-up to take care of the endogeneity problem which are quite likely to arise in case of such analysis. In conclusion, the results highlight that while economic growth has a definite positive role in abating such violent forms of left-wing extremist crime, the development strategy should give high priority to literacy, internal security, and human development.
