India is quite unlikely. The naxalite movement has been on the decline for a while now and a variant of ethno-fascism promoted by the ruling party has been growing rampantly for a decade now.
If a northeastern state seceeded, would it likely be a communist state?
Unlikely. Assuming they managed to secede in the first place (also unlikely), most of the rebel groups are christian tribal militias. I support their cause, but they won't be communist states except maybe in name.
the attack on the naxalites is something that both the current bjp and the past governments have in common. actually some might say that naxalism and marxism-leninism has seen a new found popularity among the youth of this country as of recently. this is a result of the contradictions of modern indian politics and is a good thing that there is hope for this country's future. the main issue still, lies in the utter disarray of the machinery of the naxalite parties with the biggest one, cpi maoist losing a hell lot of territory in the 2010s and doesn't show any improvement in their performance whatsoever.
