Akhil Bharatiya Ram Rajya Parishad (Hindi: अखिल भारतीय राम राज्य परिषद, 'All India Council of Rama's Kingdom'), was a traditionalist Hindu party in India. It was founded by Swami Karpatri (1905–1980) in 1948. The Ram Rajya Parishad won three Lok Sabha seats in the 1952 elections and two in the 1962 elections.[1] In 1952, 1957 and 1962, it won several dozen Vidhan Sabha seats, all in the Hindi belt, mostly in Rajasthan. Ram raja parishad was a Hindu traditional party, and not an Indian (or "Hindu") nationalist party.[2] The RRP was dharmic, which significantly affected the political outlook of the party. Hindu dharma does not generally accept the (western) concept of a "nation" because dharma is said to permeate the entire universe, rather than demarcate between "nation states". Dharma concerns all living beings (âtman). Like Hindutva, RRP wanted a uniform civil code in India, based on Manava-Dharma-Shastra, with Ahimsa to first creed. The party turned inactive and was one of the many parties to merge together to form the Bharatiya Jana Sangh [3]
