Describe briefly their ideas. ** **<span style="color: #3333ff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">Communist Parties: **

**<span style="color: #3333ff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">The Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M) calls itself the “revolutionary vanguard of the working class of India.” Its political ideology is centred on socialism, communism and establishment of “the state of dictatorship of the proletariat.” The principles of Marx and Lenin guide the party’s activities. The declared objective of CPI-M is the emancipation of the masses and finding a way to end “exploitation of man by man.” The party is now more or less concentrated in states like Tripura and Kerala **

**<span style="color: #3333ff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> Congress Party and Social Liberalism: ** Congress has been the ruling party of India for no less than 49 years, though not at a stretch. The dominant party in Indian political space has formed government for 10 times, winning majority on six occasions and forming coalitions for four times<span style="color: #3333ff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">**For its social liberal outlook, the Congress Party is generally placed on the Centre-Left of the political spectrum. It adheres to the Gandhian principle of upliftment of all sections of society. Unlike many other contemporary parties, Congress supports liberal nationalism, which can also be referred as a more tolerant nationalism with space for equality, freedom and rights.**

**<span style="color: #3333ff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">BJP **<span style="color: #3333ff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;"> **:**

**<span style="color: #3333ff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">BJP, undoubtedly, has had a good run in the last three or four decades. After a very slow entry into the mainstream politics, the party gradually climbed the ladder of recognition before becoming India’s largest political party in terms of representation in the Parliament. “Integral Humanism” is the stated ideology of BJP. It was first formulated in 1965 by Deendayal Upadhyaya. The party is a strong advocator of social conservatism and believes in pursuing a foreign policy based on nationalist principles. Earlier, the party has deftly played the role of a strong opposition by raising issues like minority appeasement, pseudo-secularism and the need for a re-look at Article 370 in Kashmir. **

**<span style="color: #3333ff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">Separatist Political Parties: **

**<span style="color: #3333ff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) was initially formed as an alliance of 26 political, social and religious organisations in Kashmir to achieve “the right of self-determination.” **<span style="color: #3333ff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">**Apart from Jammu Kashmir Democratic Liberation Party (JKDLP), the alliance comprised other separatist political parties in Kashmir including Yaseen Malik’s Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), Sheikh Yaqoob’s Jammu and Kashmir Peoples League (JKPL), and Shabbir Shah’s People’s Democratic Front (PDF).Although PDF had managed to grab one seat in the 2008 Assembly elections, the general clout of the separatist political parties has not become evident during elections. Syed Ali Shah Geelani, the chairman of APHC, remains the most popular separatist leader whose extremist views pertaining to the independence of J&K have received mixed reactions.** **<span style="color: #3333ff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">Regional Formations: **

**<span style="color: #3333ff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">Apart from CPI and CPI-M, a handful of regional parties formed a political alliance back in 2009 as an alternative to the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) led by the Congress and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by BJP. BSP and Samajwadi Party from Uttar Pradesh, Janata Dal (United) from Bihar, Biju Janata Dal from Odisha, Asom Gana Parishad from Assam and TRS from Telangana were among the regional parties that unanimously decided to launch a Third Front “against the pro-rich economic policies” of Congress and BJP. The front was also established to counter “the growth of communal and fascist forces” and reaffirm its commitment towards farmers, dalits, other backward classes, women and minors. **
