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
  • Kanu Sanyal was elected general secretary of COI(ML). COI(ML) participated in elections.

    In 2003 COI(ML) merged with Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Unity Initiative to form a unified CPI(ML).

    National question

    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.
