1971-1972 membership data
[edit]Membership
[edit]https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/205295/7/07_chapter%203.pdf has membership data for both parties as of 1971 and 1972. On one side it is a bit far from 1964 in time, and the numbers (especially the CPI ones) appear to be heavily inflated. I'll leave this here for now. --Soman (talk) 20:59, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Comparing 1958 NC with 1961 NC....
[edit]I came across this document, [2], which doesn't qualify as WP:RS. Notably the document includes some glaring errors (such as the description of RCPI factionalism in the end), but presumably follows CPI more closely. Looking at the list from the 1958 National Council, comparing with this document we can say;
Name | State | NC in 1958? | NC in 1961? | Comment from Sep 1962 doc? Other reflections? |
Efn bio? | April 11, 1964 walkout? | End party? |

- The CPI(Left) congress document includes tributes to B. Srinivasa Rao and V.D. Chitale, both mentioned as CPI NC members, so presumably they were the 2 NC members that died between 1961-1964 apart from Ghosh. See [1] --Soman (talk) 23:11, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

1961 international delegations
[edit][3] has, in addition to names of NC members, mentions of additional international delegates at Vijayawada Party Congress. Apart from Suslov, they were, according to the doc:
- Laurie Aarons - Communist Party of Australia
- Václav Slavík - Communist Party of Czechoslovakia
- Giancarlo Pajetta - Italian Communist Party
- Imre Hollai - Hungarian Working People's Party
- Nikolov Mishov - Bulgarian Communist Party
- D. Dalea - Romanian Workers Party (is this Mihai Dalea ?)
