Current Struggles
In India today there are many Maoist parties and organizations that either
predate the CPI-ML or emerged from factions when the CPI-ML split after the
death of Charu Majumdar. Three of them, the CPI-ML (People's War),
CPI-ML (Party Unity), and the Maoist Communist Center (MCC), are currently
engaged in armed struggle. We plan on adding material from the various groups
as we receive them. It is not our intention to promote one group over
another; these pages are open to all the revolutionary currents in India.
