The Popular Front of India, which had its beginnings in Kerala, has now been outlawed for five years under the UAPA.
Many are of the opinion that its beginnings can be traced to the 1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid. However, it was not until 2006 that three organisations, The National Development Front of Kerala, Karnataka Forum for Dignity and Manitha Neethi Pasari of Tamil Nadu merged to form the PFI.
