The Republican Party of India (RPI, often called the Republican Party or simply Republican) was a political party in India.[6] It had its roots in the Scheduled Castes Federation led by B. R. Ambedkar. The Party was established by Dr. Br. Ambedkar in 1956 which was to serve as an entry point to the Republican Party of India (RPI).[7] It is the political party named RPI made by Dr. Br. Ambedkar. There are many members of that party who have been worked with RPI but later they have made their own parties named only with RPI that not real RPI party of Dr. Br. Ambedkar but some other parties still claim to be RPI.
