        abstract = {This paper analyzes the life and political change of Khasi, a previous CPI (Maoist) commander, to shed light on the reasons and material circumstances behind the Naxalite movement in the Andhra-Odisha Border (AOB) area. Based on lengthy interviews with Khasi in Koraput prison, using a qualitative sociological method, the research looks into how the oppression of caste, exploitation by class, and the neglect of the state come together to fashion insurgent identities. It explores the development of revolutionary identity in terms of armed struggle, organizational discipline, and local legitimacy. Embedding individual stories within larger socio-political frames, the article provides a rich and sensitive analysis of insurgency as resistance and rupture.},
