Communist Party Of India (Marxist-leninist) LiberationCommunist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation is a communist political party in India. Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) was formed in 1969 by the All India Coordination Committee of Communist Revolutionaries, who had split from Communist Party of India (Marxist) in 1967. CPI(ML) advocated armed struggle and condemned participation in parliamentary elections and work in mass movements. Initially the party leaders were Charu Majumdar and Kanu Sanyal. In 1971 the party was split in two, when Satyanarayan Singh revolted against Majumdars's sectarianism. CPI(ML) Liberation has its roots in the faction that remained loyal to Majumdar. Later Majumdar's CPI(ML) was split in pro- and anti-Lin Biao-factions. CPI(ML) Liberation is the party that evolved out if the anti-Lin Biaofaction. In 1975 Vinod Mishra was elected general secretary. From 1977 a reform process took place in Mishra's CPI(ML). The party conference in 1979 declared that mass organizations ought to be created in every front (which the original CPI(ML) had condemned as "economism"). Mishra's CPI(ML) also maintained good relations with the Communist Party of China, whilst most other Indian ML-factions condemned the reorientation that was pushed through by Deng Xiaoping after the death of Mao Zedong. In 1982 the Indian Peoples Front was formed, and the party started contesting elections under the name of IPF. In 1989 IPF was able to win a Lok Sabha seat from Ara, Bihar. In 1991 the Ara seat is lost, but the party wins a seat in Assam through the mass movement Autonomous State Demand Committee. In 1994 IPF is dissolved and the party starts contesting elections under its proper name. It does however, continue to contest elections under the banner of ASDC in until 1999. Mishra died in 1998. The current general secretary is Dipankar Bhattacharya, who hails from Assam. In the Lok Sabha elections in 1999 the party won 0,3% of the votes and one seat (the former ASDC-seat from Assam). In the 2004 elections the seat was lost, mainly due to a split within ASDC. The English-language publication of the party is Liberation, and thus the party is called CPI(ML) Liberation. In India there are several other CPI(ML)s, such as CPI(ML) New Democracy, CPI(ML) Janashakti, CPI(ML) Red Flag, etc. The party is represented in the state assemblies of Bihar and Jharkhand. The main mass organizations of the party are: - Revolutionary Youth Association (RYA)
- All India Students Association (AISA)
- All India Agricultural Labour Association (AIALA)
- All India Peasants' Coordination Committee
- All India Central Council of Trade Unions (AICCTU)
- All India Progressive Women's Association (AIPWA)
- Autonomous State Demand Committee (ASDC)
In Tamil the party is called இந்திய கம்யூனிஸ்ட் கட்சி (மார்க்ஸிஸ்ட் லெனினிஸ்ட்) விடுதலை. External link Liberation
