GS3 Internal Security: Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) | Self-Study & Revision Note #1

A raw, self-study revision video breaking down Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) for UPSC CSE General Studies Paper 3 (Internal Security). I am recording this primarily as a personal study log to structure my thoughts, improve articulation on camera, and build a consistent revision routine. Key dimensions covered in this session: • Historical context, origins, and ideological roots of Naxalism/LWE • Core socio-economic drivers (jal, jangal, zameen, tribal displacement, governance deficits) • Security response & operational frameworks (SAMADHAN doctrine, Greyhounds, COBRA, inter-state coordination) • Development interventions & civic action (RRP, Eklavya schools, LWE-special infrastructure schemes) • Way forward: Balancing security with winning hearts and minds Recorded for self-revision and practice. If you are preparing for civil services or state PSC exams, feel free to use it as a peer revision session! #UPSC #GS3 #InternalSecurity #LeftWingExtremism #UPSCPreparation #StudyVlog #SelfStudy
