There are only 2 relevant Communist parties in India one is CPI (the original founded in Uzbekistan) and another is the splinter which was founded in 1962 due to sino soviet split for which CPIM chose a more holistic way to define Stalin and CPC instead of throwing Stalin into the dustbin. There are other splinter groups but they are more or less clubs in India. There are naxals (my father was one) but they became irrelevant after the debacle of 1970s and death of Mao.
