Anandraj Ambedkar

The Republican Sena is a political party in India. It was founded by Anandraj Ambedkar on 21 November 1998. Anandraj Ambedkar is a son of Yashwant Ambedkar and grandson of B. R. Ambedkar. The party is based on the ideology of B. R. Ambedkar (Ambedkarism), and is primarily based in the state of Maharashtra. Republican Sena's supporters occupied the Indu Mills Compound at Dadar, Mumbai in 2011 to highlight the long-pending demand for the Statue of Equality, the under-construction memorial at the compound dedicated to B. R. Ambedkar. The party has also worked with the Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi party, headed by Anandraj's elder brother Prakash Yashwant Ambedkar.
