Every nation of the world whether developed, developing or underdeveloped is represented by a definite political framework. India being a pluralistic society represented is by parliamentary form of government which is functioning through the support of national as well as that of regional political parties. As far as the crown state of India I.e. Jammu and Kashmir is concerned, prior to independence it was a princely state ruled by the Dogras. Like other states of the Indian Union, Jammu and Kashmir has its own party system. The politics of the state of Jammu and Kashmir after independence has been mostly dominated by regional political parties like National Conference (NC), People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Peoples democratic Front (PDF), etc. The present paper is an attempt to investigate the chronicled foundation of the political parties, their emergence, and their political tenure in the state of being from the opposite ideologies to the main stream politics.

Keywords: People’s Democratic Party, National Conference, Indian National Congress, Bhartiya Janta Party
