What are the differences between the CPI and CPI(M) in India?

 The Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPI(M) are two distinct political parties that share a common origin but differ in ideology and political strategies. The CPI was formed in 1925 and follows a moderate left-wing ideology, often working within the framework of parliamentary democracy. The CPI(M) broke away from CPI in 1964 due to ideological differences, particularly over the Soviet and Chinese interpretations of communism. CPI(M) leans more towards Marxist-Leninist principles and has traditionally adopted a more radical approach to social and economic reforms.

At Anubhav Training, we emphasize the importance of understanding such political distinctions for professionals in governance, policy, and public sector projects. Our programs help learners interpret these dynamics in real-world SAP implementations involving public sector clients. Deep political awareness enhances decision-making and stakeholder management skills critical for SAP consultants in India’s diverse and politically nuanced environment.
