Communist Party of India (CPI)

The Communist Party of India (CPI) is one of India’s oldest political parties, founded in 1925. It promotes socialist principles, aiming for a society with equality, workers' rights, and public ownership of resources. The CPI advocates for policies like land reform, fair wages, and social justice, often aligning with broader communist ideals. It has historically played a significant role in India’s political landscape, especially advocating for marginalized groups. While its influence has declined compared to other parties, the CPI remains active, emphasizing leftist ideology and working to address economic and social inequalities.
