The Communist Party of India (Marxist), or CPI(M), and the Communist Party of India (CPI) are two communist parties in India that share similar ideological roots but differ in their political approach. The CPI(M) was formed in 1964 after a split within the CPI over ideological and political differences, particularly regarding support for the Indian National Congress (Congress Party) and alignment with the Soviet Union or the Chinese Communist Party.
