N. T. Rama RaoOur Mission
Politics shapes every part of our lives, yet most young Indians never get a doorway into it. Our mission is to open that door: to bring fresh energy, skills and integrity into public life by connecting willing citizens with the parties that represent their values.
India's Democratic Journey
India's democracy was built by generations of ordinary citizens who chose to take part in public life.
1885
The Indian National Congress is founded, becoming a major platform of the freedom struggle against colonial rule.
1947
India becomes independent on 15 August 1947.
1950
The Constitution of India comes into force on 26 January 1950, and India becomes a republic.
1951-52
The first general election is held on the basis of universal adult franchise.
1988-89
The 61st Constitutional Amendment (1988) lowers the voting age from 21 to 18, effective 1989.
1992
The 73rd and 74th Amendments give constitutional status to Panchayati Raj institutions and urban local bodies.
Today
India is the world's largest democracy, with the largest electorate on earth.
Why Politics Matters
Policy shapes daily life
Roads, schools, hospitals, jobs, prices and safety all depend on decisions made by elected representatives.
Youth participation
Young citizens are a large share of voters. When they participate, their concerns reach the agenda.
Accountability
Active, informed citizens keep leaders and institutions answerable to the people.
Grassroots service
Real change often starts at the booth, ward and village level, where every worker counts.
Political Parties of India
National and state parties active across India, with their year of establishment. Pick the one that matches your values.
