Communist Organisation of India (Marxist–Leninist) was a political organisation in India. COI (ML) was formed in May 1985 through the merger of six different groups;
- Organising Committee of Communist Revolutionaries led by Kanu Sanyal
- Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Kaimur Range led by Ravi Shankar.
- Central Organising Committee, Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) led by Umadhar Singh
- A faction of Unity Centre of Communist Revolutionaries of India (Marxist–Leninist) led by Subodh Mitra
- Indian Communist Party led by U. Krishnappa
- Liberation Front led by Sabuj Sen[1]
Kanu Sanyal was elected general secretary of COI (ML).[1] COI (ML) participated in elections.[2]
In 2003 COI (ML) merged with Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Unity Initiative to form a unified CPI (ML).
National question[edit]
COI (ML) held the position that India was multi-national, in which some nationalities dominated the government and suppressed less advanced national groups. The organisation supported the right to self-determination of Jammu & Kashmir, Nagaland and Mizoram.[3]
