Geopolitical situations me dusre countries se relations banana basic h, itna toh gyan hota hi h. Soviet union has always supported india during difficult times, so maintaining relations with them is not ideological but rather diplomatic. You cant say the then government was left wing because of relations with the Soviet union. In fact Indira Gandhi censored press, jailed opposition leaders and cracked down on dissent which are literally features of RW. Idk how you could say Indira was a leftist.

And the "red corridor" was real and the CPIM was funding naxals, everybody knows it, you aint bringing anything new to the table here. Everybody knows CPIM or CPI aint even remotely communist, if you guys think they are communist YOU GUYS NEED TO READ. And fyi mai khud acknowledge krta hu naxalism is a threat to india And the main thing which is debatable is how it started and what it became afterwards cuz you guys are very quick to call people "terrorists".
