Origins

Syama Prasad Mukherjee, founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh

Many members of the right-wing Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) began to contemplate the formation of a political party to continue their work, begun in the days of the British Raj, and take their ideology further. Around the same time, Syama Prasad Mukherjee left the Hindu Mahasabha political party that he had once led because of a disagreement with that party over permitting non-Hindu membership.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The BJS was subsequently started by Mukherjee on 21 October 1951[4] in Delhi, with the collaboration of the RSS, as a "nationalistic alternative" to the Congress Party.[5]

After the death of Mukherjee in 1953, RSS activists in the BJS edged out the career politicians and made it a political arm of the RSS and an integral part of the RSS family of organisations (Sangh Parivar).[6]

The strongest election performance of the BJS came in the 1967 Lok Sabha election in which it won 35 seats,[7]Шаблон:Sfn when the Congress majority was its thinnest ever.[8]

Ideology

Шаблон:Main The BJS leadership strongly supported a stringent policy against Pakistan and China, and were averse to the USSR and communism. Many BJS leaders also inaugurated the drive to ban cow slaughter nationwide in the early 1960s.[9]
