本文探讨了印度东部贾坎德的地方政府和“恐怖主义”极左翼武装游击队纳萨尔运动，毛主义共产主义中心（MCC）之间的连续性。这篇文章展示了MCC如何通过对“保护市场”的更大控制而不是通过共同的意识形态来获得基层支持。这种保护是一种“双刃剑”-它既保护人们进入国家的非正规经济，也保护人们免受保护者活动的可能性。在出售保护方面，MCC在以前由国家控制的市场上竞争。MCC加强了对市场的控制，因为它的巨大力量以及对该组织的恐惧，来自其可见和不可见的品质，包括其暴力倾向，在其目标中产生。揭开这一保护市场的面纱表明，在贾坎德贾坎德农村，国家和“恐怖分子”之间存在着有争议的界限。
This article explores the continuities between the local state and the ‘terrorist’ extreme left-wing armed guerrilla Naxalite movement, the Maoist Communist Centre (MCC), in Jharkhand, Eastern India. The article shows how the MCC gained grassroots support by having greater control over a ‘market of protection’, and not through a shared ideology. This protection is a ‘doubleedged commodity’ – it is protection to access the informal economy of the state but also protection from the possibilities of the protector’s activities. In selling protection, the MCC competes in a market previously controlled by the state. The MCC increases its control over the market as an idea of its immense power – as well as fear of the organization, emerging from both its visible and invisible qualities, including its propensity for violence – is created among its targets. Unveiling this market of protection demonstrates the contested boundaries between the state and the ‘terrorist’ in rural Jharkhand.
