Various aspects of social movements, such as Naxalism, require detailed study and analysis of the socio-economic factors behind them . However, even as conflicts continue to grow, the institutional mechanism for independent policy analysis, available in the Research and Policy Division of the union home ministry, was wound up by the NDA government. This has resulted in the ministry's increasingly uncritical dependence on centralised paramilitary and intelligence mechanisms, which may be useful for firefighting purposes but not for long-term policy analysis. - Reproduced.  aTerrorism  aEconomic and Political Weekly
