Whenever I read some news related to elections and politics I just wonder what is the difference between these two left parties. One is Communist Party of India (www.cpiindia.org) and the other is Communist Party of India (Marxist) (cpim.org).
To my understanding CPI(M) is quite influential in politics and is currently heading three state governments. It has been un-interruptedly in power in West Bengal since 1977, in Kerala and in Tripura. On broad level both the parties are leftists in nature and has influence from Soviet. CPI being the oldest was born in 1925 in India and CPI(M) was born in 1964. Popular known leaders from CPI(M) are Prakash Karat, Sitaram Yechury, EMS Nambudripad, HS Surjeet, Sukomal Sen and BV Raghavulu. And in CPI, the national secretery is AB Pradhan, and more known names are Suravaram Sudhakar Reddy, D. Raja and Gurudas Dasgupta. I have not explored further at a micro level what seperates CPI from CPI(M).
