The Story in Brief
Former Naxal women who abandoned the insurgency in Chhattisgarh walked the ramp at a rehabilitation event, according to Times Now. The programme aims to show their transition from armed struggle to mainstream life. The outlet reported that the event raises questions about whether the Naxal ecosystem is losing its hold, especially as senior commander Hidma remains active in Bastar.
The Indian Opinion
The ramp walk makes for a striking image, but it risks masking the deeper reality of the conflict. Some will call it a victory for rehabilitation; others will dismiss it as a photo-op that ignores ongoing violence. The real test is whether these women can sustain livelihoods and whether surrender rates continue to rise. One number to watch: the annual figure of surrendering Naxals in Chhattisgarh, which will show if the trend is genuine or staged.
