The Socialist Party is an independent incarnation of the Congress Socialist Party (CSP) formed in 1934 within the Congress. The CSP was founded by Jaiprakash Narayan, Acharya Narendra Dev, Dr Ram Manohar Lohia. It merged itself into the Janata Party in 1977 immediately after the independence.

R. Masani, Achyut Patwardhan, N.C. Goray, Ashok Mehta, M. H. Dantwala, Charles Mascarenhas, C. K. Narayanswami. JP’s first jail term in Nasik was to prove as much of a landmark in his life as his stay at the university of Wisconsin where he became a Marxist and a sympathizer of the communist party. All of them had little to do except discuss politics and get to know one another. They agreed in the discussion that all history was a process of class-struggle and that proletarian revolutions were inevitable. The collapse of capitalism with all its brutalities was inescapa
