The Congress Socialist Party (CSP) was a socialist political party in India. It was founded in 1934 by a group of young Congressmen who were inspired by the Russian Revolution and wanted to make the Indian National Congress a socialist party. The CSP was a major force in the Indian independence movement, and its members played a leading role in the Quit India Movement of 1942. After India’s independence in 1947, the CSP merged with the Indian National Congress.
