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.
