The Indian Socialist Party was a political party in the Indian state of Kerala.[1] ISP was founded in May 1969, by the majority of the erstwhile Kerala Samyukta Socialist Party (a splinter group of the Samyukta Socialist Party).[2] The two KSSP ministers in the state government, P.K. Kunju and P.R. Kurup, became members of ISP.[3] The ISP declared that it sought to become an All India party in six months.[4]

ISP had two ministers in the C. Achutha Menon cabinet formed in October 1969, O. Koran and N.K. Seshan.[5][6]
