  • Amra Bangali (AMB) (translation: We are Bengalis) is a political partyinIndia, based on the socio-economic and political philosophy Progressive Utilization Theory[1] given by Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar;[2] the party was sparked off in reaction against anti-Bengali rhetoric in Northeast India.[3] Amra Bangali enjoyed a short stint in the spotlight in the mid-1980s when it even won some gram panchayat seats in border districts.[2] Today, AMB is involved in various movements and protests including those against the Darjeeling Gorkhas calling for the creation of new state of Gorkhaland.[4] It protested National Register of Citizens for Assam and Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019.[5][6][7]

    The politics of Amra Bangali is based on Sarkar's ideas of economic and political democracy. The party is organized in West Bengal, as well as in other states with large Bengali populations such as Tripura, Bihar, Odisha, Assam and Jharkhand. The only real political breakthrough the party has had was in Tripura during the 1980s, when the party entered the Legislative Assembly.

    Bhuban Bijoy Majumder, resident of Tripura, was a famous leader of the party.[8][9]
