The Swatantra Bharat Paksh (translation: Independent India Party; abbr. SBP) is a liberal political party in Maharashtra, India, established in 1994 by Sharad Anantrao Joshi (former Shetkari Sanghatana leader).[2] It claims its roots in the Swatantra Party of C. Rajagopalachari.[3] It won one seat in the 2004 Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha election, successfully contested by Wamanrao Chatap from the Rajura constituency.[4][5] In total, the party had launched 7 candidates.[6] Sharad Anantrao Joshi, the party's founder, represented the party and Maharasthra in the Rajya Sabha from 2004 to 2010.[7]

The party was allied with the Bharatiya Janata Party as well as the Shiv Sena.[5] The party supports the demand for a separate Vidarbha state.[2]

On 28 March 2022, the SBP merged with the Swarna Bharat Party and became the Swatantra Bharat Party.
