Forward Communist Party


Forward Communist Party was a political party in India. FCP was formed in 1948 following a split from the Forward Bloc. In FB, the then party president K.M. Joglekar opposed the alignment of FB with the United Socialist Organisation of India. Thus Joglekar broke away and formed FCP. He took with him units of FB in West Bengal, Bihar, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.
In 1952 FCP disintegrated into two separate parties, Forward Communist Party and Forward Communist Party. The same year, FCP merged with the Communist Party of India and FCP merged with Bolshevik Party of India.
