Abstract: Loknayak Jayprakash Narayan popularly known as JP was a freedom fighter, political reformer and active political leader throughout his life. Jayprakash was educated at universities in the United States, where he became a Marxist Devotee. Upon his return to India, he joined the Indian National Congress. In the Post-Independence period, he left the party to work relentlessly the creation of an Anti-Congress Platform in 1948. By forming the Praja Socialist Party, J.P. gave voice to the marginalized and offered an alternative political platform in 1952. He tried his best to implement the Sarvodaya Movement, founded by Acharaya Vinoba Bhave. Jayprakash was an active worker of the Sarvodaya Movement started by Gandhiji and spearheaded by Vinobha Bhave. JP's Sarvodaya meant a new order to set up a classless and stateless society for the people's socialism in the fifties. He was deeply disturbed by the growth of political corruption in India. He was first "JeevanDanee"(devoted life) to Jeevandan Movement led by Vinoba Bhave. To eradicate the dominant party politics he proposed the concept of partyless democracy and communitarian democracy to develop democratic values and culture. Sampurna Kranti or total revolution was the last intellectual contribution of Jayprakash in his unending quest to seek and set up such a socio-economic and political order in the country which would turn India into a democratic, participatory, prosperous nation in the world. This study will focus on social, political contributions of JP to re-construct the Indian society by his unending movements up to death. He devoted himself to purify the political, socio-economic and moral aspects of the people.
