The Communist Party of India (Marxist) emerged from a division within the Communist Party of India (CPI), which was formed on 26 December 1925. The CPI had experienced a period of upsurge during the years following the Second World War. The CPI led armed rebellions in [[Telangana]], Tripura, and [[Kerala]]. However, it soon abandoned the strategy of armed revolution in favor of working within the parliamentary framework. In 1950, B. T. Ranadive, the CPI general secretary and a prominent representative of the radical sector inside the party, was demoted on grounds of left-adventurism.<ref>https://sites.google.com/a/communistparty.in/cpi/brief-history-of-cpi</ref> | |||
