Salwa Judum

Salwa Judum means Purification Hunt in Gondi language.

State Government of Chhattisgarh  provided support and training to local tribal youth to fight naxalites, but afterwards in 2011, the  Supreme Court ordered the state government to take back all arms and ammunition provided to Salwa Judum, who were being criticized for human rights violation.

Its founder Mahendra Karma was killed in an Naxalite attack on 25 May 2013.
