Abstract: This paper analyzes the enduring relevance of Maoist ideology in contemporary times, which could be reflected in various political uprisings in different parts of the world. Despite its origins in China, which occurred during the mid-20^th century under the initiation of Chairman Mao Zedong, Maoism as a political ideology has evolved beyond China’s political scenario, which could be reflected in the reinterpretation of Maoist ideology as a whole during contemporary movements. The purpose of this study is to investigate how Maoist principles have been applied by insurgent groups, particularly in rural areas that have been marginalized over the years in Nepal, India, where the main purpose of the Maoist movement is to serve as a framework for anti-state mobilization. By tracing the ideological trajectory to the practical application of Maoist thoughts in shaping political discourse, this research highlights the ideological framework of Maoism as a whole, to its dynamic role in shaping socio-political struggles.
