United Democratic Front

The United Democratic Front (UDF) was a broad coalition of political and social groups in India that operated mainly during the 1980s, aiming to promote democratic rights and oppose authoritarian policies. It united various parties and organizations committed to democracy, secularism, and social justice, often providing a unified front against oppressive government actions. The UDF played a significant role in advocating for civil liberties, regional interests, and democratic principles, serving as a platform for collective resistance and activism during a period of political turbulence in India.
