The Samata Party is a political party in India initially formed in 1994 by George Fernandes and Nitish Kumar. It was an offshoot of the Janata Dal with the alleged casteism of the parent party being the reason given for the split. The party has socialist leanings and at one point wielded considerable political and social influence in North India particularly in Bihar. In 2003 the bulk of the party merged with the Janata Dal (United).
