Hul Jharkhand Party, a political party in India. Founded by Justin Richard on December 28, 1968 after the fragmentation of the Jharkhand Party. The party worked amongst the Santhal populations. It demanded a separate tribal-majority state and social reform. A splinter group, the Bihar Progressive Hul Jharkhand Party was later founded by Sibu Soren.
Famous quotes containing the word party:
“When the doctrine of allegiance to party can utterly up-end a man’s moral constitution and make a temporary fool of him besides, what excuse are you going to offer for preaching it, teaching it, extending it, perpetuating it? Shall you say, the best good of the country demands allegiance to party? Shall you also say it demands that a man kick his truth and his conscience into the gutter, and become a mouthing lunatic, besides?”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
