Amra Bangalee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Amra Bangali (We are Bengalis) is a political party in India. The movement has its roots in a Socio-Economic Theory called PROUT, propounded by Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar.

The politics of Amra Bangali are based on Sarkar's ideas of economic and political democracy. The party is not only organized in West Bengal, but also in other states with large Bengali populations, such as Tripura, Bihar, Orissa, Assam and Jharkhand. The only real political breakthrough the party has had was in Tripura during the 1980s, when the party entered the Legislative Assembly in connection with the mounting ethnic tensions in the state.

The aims and objects of Amra Bangali are:

  • Restoration and development of Bengali language and culture.
  • Economic self-sufficiency.
  • Self-determination in socio-political field.
  • Re-organization of the territory of Bengal with all the like minded people having respect for Bengali language and culture and giving a new name “Bangalistan” to this territory.
