Republican Party of India

The Republican Party of India (RPI) is an Indian political organization founded in 1957, advocating for the rights of Dalits (formerly “untouchables”) and marginalized communities. It emerged from the broader Dalit movement, aiming to promote social equality, justice, and political representation for oppressed groups. Over time, the RPI has experienced internal divisions, leading to several factions, but its core mission remains focused on fighting discrimination and ensuring equal opportunities within Indian society and politics.
