National Development Front
The NDF (National Development Front) began in 1993 in northern Kerala, India. The main cause for the formation of this organisation was the threat and alienation that the Babri Masjid demolition caused among Kerala's Muslims. Then the Mandal Commission report opened the doors of power to the backward castes and minorities and made them conscious of their rights. This consciousness led to a lot many social organisations coming up. The onslaught against the backward people and religious minorities wasn't the kind that could be met by isolated responses. The NDF came up to give guidance to all such outfits.
The NDF was started by Muslim youth. So in the initial days there were only Muslims. Even now the great majority is Muslims. NDF says all repressed sections should have their own separate organisations. This is because the problems they are facing are not common.
