Like it or not, a lot of things have changed after the maoists insurgency erupted...I mean in a positive sense. Not necessarily protraying Maoists as a God. Here is why:

The social upheaval, like ours, shakes the hierarchial set up. People on the bottom of the feed start questioning why things are the way they are...people on the top start being little more careful, let it be for fear. 

Even if we totally forget the politics, you may have seen in the past women and dalits accepting the society's treatment towards them as their fate...a result of their past life. These socio-psychological phenomena did need some sort of shattering off old 'rust'. And Maoists have done exactly that. 

Here is what it's not all about the Maoists: Our society was (is) so messed up with that rusted mentality that any party would/should be taking the lead...which even NC could have done that down the road. It was much needed and It just happened to Maoists...

Being able to see these kinds of results today, yes, a lot of credit goes back to the war....not 100%... but a lof of it...For the one single principle that people started carrying that 'I don't need to accept this'.
