The Democratic Swarajya Party was a political party in British India. An earlier organisation using the name was established by Bal Gangadhar Tilak in 1920 within the Indian National Congress.[1] The organisation was subsequently revived by former Tilakites in the Bombay Province on 29 October 1933, with the aim of attaining Purna Swaraj (Total Independence) through constitutional means.[2][3]
After Tilak's death, his supporters such as N. C. Kelkar, M. R. Jayakar, Bhaskar Balwant Bhopatkar and Karandikar became members of the Swaraj Party within the Congress and contested elections for the legislative councils.[4] Since the Congress boycotted the councils following the civil disobedience movement, old-Tilakites were dissatisfied and decided to contest the elections and enter the councils. Therefore, Kelkar, along with B. S. Moonje, Madhav Shrihari Aney and Jamnadas Mehta revived the Democratic Swarajya Party on October 29, 1933, in Bombay.[5]
