Does anyone know anything about Kobad Ghandy and the Communist Party of India?

Someone showed me an article written by Kobad Ghandy, who is apparently an Indian communist leader who is currently in prison. I never heard of anything like this before, is there anyone here who can explain to me why he was arrested and imprisoned? All I can get from Wikipedia is that the CPI advocate a "people's revolution of India" and they are a "security risk." Have they committed any actual terrorist or violent acts? I'm just curious. My wife is from India but this is the first time I ever heard of anything like this going on with the Indian government.
