The Communist Party of India (CPI):
In the early 1920s, communist groups emerged in different parts of India, inspired by the Bolshevik revolution in Russia and advocating socialism as a solution.
The CPI was formed on 26 December 1925.
Initially, the Indian communist movement aimed to end British rule in India.
From 1935, the Communists primarily worked within the Indian National Congress.
A split occurred in December 1941 when the Communists decided to support the British in their war against Nazi Germany.
The party questioned the nature of Indian independence, leading to violent uprisings in Telangana.
