Talk:Communist Party of India

Communist Party of India
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) (abbr. CPI(M)) is a communist political party in India.[3] It is one of the national parties of India.[5] The party emerged from a split from the Communist Party of India in 1964. The CPI(M) was formed in Calcutta from 31 October to 7 November 1964.

As of 2021, CPI(M) is leading the state government in Kerala and has representation in the following Legislative assemblies in the states of Tripura, Assam, Rajasthan, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.[6] The Politburo is the supreme authority of the Communist Party of India (Marxist).[7] However, in between two party congresses, the Central Committee is the highest decision making body.[7]

History
Name[edit] Communist Party of India (Marxist)

AKG Bhavan, the CPI(M) national headquarters in Delhi 28°37′53.6″N 77°12′17.9″E CPI(M) is officially known as भारत की कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी मार्क्सवादी (Bharat ki Kamyunist Party Marksvadi) in Hindi, but it is often known as मार्क्सवादी कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी (Marksvadi Kamyunist Party, abbreviated MaKaPa) in press and media circles. During its initial years after the split, the party was often referred to by different names such as 'Left Communist Party' or 'Communist Party of India (Left)'. The party has used the name 'Left' because CPI people were dubbed as a rightist in nature for their support of the Congress-Nehru regime. During the Kerala Legislative Assembly elections of 1965, the party adopted the name 'Communist Party of India (Marxist)' and applied to obtain its election symbol from the Election Commission of India.[8]

Ideology in infobox
I don't get where the "instruction" commentary in the infobox comes from. What would be the objection to putting M-L as ideology in infobox? -- Soman (talk) 20:57, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Leadership
The higher body of CPI is secretariat. So please re add the list. Arjun Madathiparambil Muraleedharan (talk) 15:48, 17 June 2023 (UTC)


 * @Arjun Madathiparambil Muraleedharan The section I removed seemed to have dozens of names without explanation on why that was needed in this page specifically. I think I didn't understand if the secretariat is the highest governing body of CPI, or it's just another committee in there.
 * If it's all the leadership of the party then I agree it should be re-added, sorry for reverting you. Maybe we should also add a line or two explaining the same before listing the names Soni (talk) 20:23, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
