Abstract
The components of the aesthetics seems similar to the aesthetics theory or aestheticism, which lies in beauty, physical beauty nature, scenes, beauty of flowers, art, physical body and the like. But the aesthetics of people’s war is based on the revolutionary concept of Prachandapath in which the essence of the Maoists' people's war is centered. In this context, the warriors themselves are the artists to create aesthetic sense. Similarly, the aesthetic vision created in simple dance, song can be based on social, mythical, religious principles. By people's war cultural programme is distinct. In every dance item, song, the motive / aim of Prachandapath is centered. For example, every song is influenced with courage, bravery, emotion and sense of sacrifice. In this way the people's war aesthetic is associated with special motive, purpose, principle rather than mere entertainment.
