The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) is a prominent political party in India that promotes social justice and the empowerment of marginalised populations. The BSP was founded in 1984 by Kanshi Ram, a social reformer, and has since been led by famous figures such as Mayawati. It largely promotes the concerns of Dalits, Adivasis, and Other Backward Classes.

The party`s ideology is based on the concept of "Bahujan," which includes the majority of India`s population but excludes the elite minority. The BSP has been important, particularly in the state of Uttar Pradesh, where it has formed governments and wielded enormous political power. With its elephant symbol, the BSP continues to advocate for the empowerment and representation of marginalised minorities in Indian politics.
