India sits on a volcano right now. Those farmer? protests where a bunch of people were waiving hammer-and-sickle flags a couple years ago had millions of people participate.
BJP, Hindu nationalism, et al have a hold on the country at the moment. But I could absolutely see something pop off in India this century. It has a “Russia in the 1870s” vibe to me. I think if there’s one country communists all over the world should learn about and pay attention to, it’s India (admittedly I don’t even know how to go about that, I’ve never been able to find much in English at least).

India even has at least one state with strong communist presence (Kerala), iirc it’s been governed by a communist coalition for a while
