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) of Mahadev Mukherjee has its roots in the faction that remained loyal to Majumdar. Mukherjee and Sharma became leaders of the CPI(ML) after Majumdar's death, but they had no real control over the party organization and various state units started working in an autonomous manner.
In 1973 Majumdar's CPI(ML) was split in pro- and anti-Lin Biao-factions. Mukherjee was leading the pro-Lin Biaofaction. Mukherjee was however expelled from this group, after which he formed his own CPI(ML). Today the CPI(ML) of Mukherjee is a very small group.
The party publishes Liberation (English), Deshabrati (Bengali), Lokyudda (Hindi) and Era Janda (Telugu).
