Socialist Party (India) is formed to fight the neo-liberal onslaught on Indian
economy, polity and culture and to establish the socialist order.

Democratic Socialism came up in the debate all over the world due to two events.
After the disintegration of Soviet Russia the communist parties in many European
countries transform themselves as democratic parties and after the buble economy in
the USA who busted up along with the taking over of the Lehman Bank money started
thinking about socialism. Unfortunately there was no socialist party in India as the
Socialist Party, an independent incarnation of the Congress Socialist Party (CSP) formed
in 1934 within the Congress, founded by J.P., Acharya Narendra Dev, Dr. Ram Manohar
Lohia immediately after the independence had merged itself into the Janata Party in 1977.

The efforts of reviving the Socialist Party started after the disintegration of the
Janata Party, however it got boost with the Indian Socialist Meet held in Pune in 2002.
The task of revival of the Socialist Party was entrusted to Surendra Mohan in the auspices
of the Socialist Front. It took almost 8 years to take a final decision in this direction. In
June 2010, it was finally decided, again in Pune, that the Socialist Party will be formed
without further delay. Shri Surendra Mohan along with Panna Lal Surana tried very hard
to bring together various socialist outfits till his untimely and unfortunate death. After a
year-long deliberations undertaken through a series of meetings held in different cities
of the country, several socialist groups and individuals met in a two-day foundation
conference held in Hyderabad on 28-29 May 2011and formed the Socialist Party (India)
to carry forward the legacy of Acharya Narendra Dev, J. P., Lohia, S. M. Joshi, Yusuf
Meharally, Kishan Patnaik and other genuine socialist leaders and thinkers. Around 600
delegates from 19 states were present in the conference. Veteran journalist and writer
Kuldip Nayar and Justice Rajinder Sachar were also there to bless the occasion.

The conference elected the following office bearers of the party: President - Bhai
Vaidya, General Secretary and spokesperson - Dr. Prem Singh, Treasurer - Jayanti Bhai
Panchal, General Secretary - Nurul Amin, General Secretary - Onkar Singh and 28
national executive members including Panna Lal Surana, Ptof. Keshavrao Jadhav, Dr.
Sanmath Nath Ghosh, Sandeep Pandey, Balwan Singh Kheda, Shiva Tripathi and Sunita
Bakshi. Sandip Pandey and Prof. Keshav Jadhav will be the Vice Presidents and Panna
Lal Surana Chairman, Parliamentary Committee of the party.

A Coordination Committee, having Panna Lal Surana as its Convener and Lingraj,
President, Samajwadi Jan Parishad, as member was formed to approach other radical
socialist groups and individuals for joint actions and programs. Socialist Janata Party
President Smt. Manju Mohan, and Loktantrik Samajwadi Party President Raghu Thakur
have also given their consent to join the Coordination Committee.

Though there are plethora of the political parties in India most of them including
the Congress, the BJP and the regional parties are unfortunately committed to not only
the market based education, health, mass media and even culture. The Western industrial
model is being trusted upon the agriculture country like India at the cost of suicides of
2,50,000 peasants, malnutrition of millions of children and growing unemployment and
disparity. The corporate sector is allowed to plunder jal-jungle -jamin and minerals
at the cost of displacement of millions of adivasis. Globalization of investment and
corporate-led so-called development is plying havoc in India during last two decades.
Rs. 5000 crore family residence of Ambani is the glaring evidence of the concentration
of the wealth of India vis-a-vis abysmal depth of growing poverty. India is on the top of
the world in hiding black money which has out-spade the national income. The menace
of globalization and neo-liberal policies has to be fought out on all fronts. The Socialist
Party (India) is committed to challenge this onslaught of capitalists-led destructive
policies.
