The Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) CPI(ML) was an Indian communist party founded in 1969 by the All India Coordination Committee of Communist Revolutionaries (AICCCR) at a congress in Calcutta. It was founded on the 99th anniversary of the birth of Vladimir Lenin. The party dissolved in 1972 following the death of General Secretary Charu Majumdar and eventually splintered into several different Naxalite groups. Under Majumdar's leadership, the party promoted a people's war in India.
