My understanding is that the biggest split was during the war against China, over whether or not to support the Nehru government in the war. But the reason why pro-China splitters still have almost no support has more to do with them being associated with Naxalites and the continuing disputes between China and India. It's hard for our Foxconn friends to fathom, because they've convinced themselves China can't do imperialism, but many leftists in India consider China's imperial ambitions in India's smaller neighbors a threat, and are worried that Chinese companies operating in India will try to impose Chinese labor standards and make things even worse for workers in the Indian labor market.
Didn’t the left in India split over Sino-Soviet? Have the pro-China side recanted since Reform and Opening Up?
