There are so many organizations with the same name, albeit with a few differences. Some have "socialism", "communism", "labor" and "people" in their names, but don't respect the ideology in their title. Some of them have been banned as extremist organizations.

My assumption is that most of the surviving parties that haven't been banned believe in the multi-party system, and are home to intellectuals, as opposed to revolutionaries. The fate of original communist is also hard to understand, like for example the All-India Forward Bloc and Hindustan Socialist Republic Association.

Naxalites are Maoists. They have been banned by the Indian government, declared a terrorist organisation, and are limited to the Naxal corridor in Central India. Naxals are pro-gun, which I'm against, as they're weapons of mass destruction. I guess I'm more of a stick and knife person. I'll be thrown in the jail under UAPA.

Rural tribal revolution will fail in casteist India, because these tribals will have their character questioned - they will be called barbaric, unruly and other pejoratives. Only urban labour revolution will succeed, with minimal bloodshed. Like for example, the farmer's protest in India, and students protest for government exams.
