As per today's media report Chinese Communist Party, which is holding its Congress next month to select once in a decade leadership, has dropped "Mao thoughts" from a key document whereas in India the ghost of Mao is still on the shoulders of Indian communists who publicly raised the slogans of Mao Tse-Tung Zindabad in West bengal.
In Sept 1960 the first evidence of a vertical split in the CPI became evident with the hard left faction comprising Jyoti Basu, Harikishen Singh Surjit, Basavapunniah, Sundarayya and Ranadive supporting the Chinese position on the Indo-Sino border dispute.
When Z.A. Ahmed indicated that the Party should take a nationalist stand on Chinese incursions to India, he was severely berated by the West Bengal faction.
