The Republican Sena (translation: Republican Army; abbr. RS) is a political party in India.[1][2] It was founded by Anandraj Ambedkar on 21 November 1998. Anandraj Ambedkar is a son of Yashwant Ambedkar and grandson of B. R. Ambedkar.[3][4] The party is based on the ideology of B. R. Ambedkar (Ambedkarism), and is primarily based in the state of Maharashtra.[5][6][7][8][9][10] Republican Sena's supporters occupied the Indu Mills Compound at Dadar, Mumbai in 2011 to highlight the long-pending demand for the Statue of Equality, the under-construction memorial at the compound dedicated to B. R. Ambedkar.[10][11] The party has also worked with the Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi party, headed by Anandraj's elder brother Prakash Yashwant Ambedkar.[1][2]
On 17 July 2025, the Republican Sena, led by Anandraj Ambedkar, and Shiv Sena, led by Eknath Shinde, formed a political alliance.[12]
