The East Bengal Scheduled Castes Federation (Bengali: পূর্ববঙ্গ তফসিলি জাতি ফেডারেশন), later the East Pakistan Scheduled Castes Federation (Bengali: পূর্ব পাকিস্তান তফসিলি জাতি ফেডারেশন), was a political party in Pakistan. In the first years after the independence of Pakistan, the party was one of the two main political parties of the Hindu minority population in East Bengal (with the other being the Pakistan National Congress).[1] After departure of its main leader Jogendra Nath Mandal in 1950, the party suffered a number of divisions. In the mid-1950s the party participated in different coalition governments at Pakistan Centre level and East Pakistan provincial level. After 1958 the party went into oblivion.
