Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh says his government is losing the battle against Maoist rebels.
More than 500 people have been killed in clashes between the rebels and government forces this year.
Dr Singh has told a national gathering of police chiefs that Maoist rebels now pose the gravest threat to India's internal security.
He says security forces have not achieved much success and need a new strategy.
Dr Singh says the insurgency cannot simply be treated as a law and order problem, but instead deserves a holistic approach.
The rebels are now active in 20 states across India, particularly in the east, and have strong support from poverty-stricken tribal groups and peasant farmers.
More than 6,000 people have been killed during the Maoists' 20-year armed struggle in India
Ping to more details about the China/India confrontation.
Ping for more info on China/India issues. Thanks!
At least India’s leader isn’t a Communist like ours!
I can't make it out. China is such a good trading partner to everyone, so it wouldn't be them ... would it?
