The All India Forward Bloc (AIFB) is a left-wing nationalist party in India..

History

The AIFB was founded on 3 May 1939 by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose after leaving the Indian National Congress. During World War II Bose led the Indian National Army, which was fighting alongside Japanese troops. After the war, the AIFB was reorganized. The AIFB suffered an internal division, resulting in the formation of two different parties: the Advance Bloc (Ruiker) and the Advance Bloc (Marxist). The party that today we call AIFB is the result of the Bloc of Advance (Marxist).

Forward Bloc Today

The AIFB fights for socialism in India, but they consider their socialism to be different from the socialism proposed by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Communist Party of India because 'their socialism is based on foreign ideologues like Marx or Lenin", while the socialism of the AIFB is "the Indian socialism of Netaji".

The AIFB has branches in various parts of the country, but its strength is concentrated in West Bengal. The party is part of the Left Front that governs the state, and the AIFB has several state ministers. The party also belongs to the Left Front in Tripura, but since the AIFB failed to win a seat there it has no minister.

Although the AIFB is cooperating with the CPI(M) in West Bengal, Tripura and nationally, it is not part of the Left Democratic Front in Kerala.

In the 2004 parliamentary election the party received 0.4% of the vote and won three seats in the Lok Sabha.

The general secretary is Debrata Biswas.
