Membership

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)Reply

Latest comment: 4 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

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;

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)Reply
