Friends of the Soviet Union (India)
- Friends of the Soviet Union (India)
Friends of the Soviet Union was an organisation in India. It was founded by members of the Indian National Congress and the All India Communist Party as an alternative to the CPI-controlled Indian-Soviet Cultural Society (ISCUS), after the break between CPI and the Congress in the national political scene.[Bhattacharya, Mrimoy in Banerjee, Gopal (ed.), S.A. Dange – A Fruitful Life. Kolkata: Progressive Publishers, 2002. p. 141] ]The inaugural conference of FSU was addressed by the then Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi. In her speech Gandhi scoulded the CPI/ISCUS, calling them 'self-appointed custodians' of Indo-Soviet friendship. [Andersen, Walter K..
