What was the outcome of the division within the Communist Party of India (CPI)?

The formation of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M)

The conflict between India and China had significant repercussions, even impacting the opposition and sparking division within the Communist Party of India (CPI). The emerging discord between China and the Soviet Union played a role in causing irreconcilable rifts within the CPI. One faction, aligned with the USSR, leaned towards forging closer ties with the Congress party. Meanwhile, the other faction, initially aligned with China, resisted any affiliations with the Congress. This division led to a split in the party in 1964, leading to the formation of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M). Following the China war, many individuals who later became part of CPI (M) were arrested due to their pro-China stance.
