Bhima Koregaon and Mahar Satyagraha: Historical events of the struggle of the Dalit community.

There has been a long historical tradition of caste-based atrocities and struggles of the Dalit community in Indian society. In this context, the events of Bhima Koregaon (Maharashtra) and Mahar Satyagraha are an important symbol of resistance.

Bhima Koregaon Incident (2018)

Location: Bhima Koregaon village, Kopargaon taluka, Maharashtra.

Time: January 1, 2018.

Cause of the incident: Entry of Dalit youth into the village to participate in the **Elgar Parishad** program.

Supporters of (Dalit-Bahujan Movement) enter the village to participate in the Elgar Parishad.

Upper caste people (Brahmin community) attack Dalits.

Fire and lathicharge ensue, resulting in the death of 1 Dalit youth (21-year-old Suresh Rathod) and 5+ injuries.

Under pressure, the police register unjust cases against the Dalit community.

The result was huge outrage among the Dalit community, protests across Maharashtra.

Protests again on B.R. Ambedkar's birth anniversary (December 6).

Human rights organizations criticized the state government for atrocities against Dalits.

Mahar Satyagraha (1927) – was the first organized struggle of Dalits.

Place: Mahad (Mahar) village, Raigad district, Maharashtra.

Time: March 20, 1927.

Led by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Dr. Ambedkar was then a member of the Mumbai Legislative Council.

The reason for this incident was that the Dalits (Mahar community) of the village were forbidden to use the public chaushala (water tank) of the village.

The upper caste people prevented the Dalits from taking water, physically abusing them.

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar advised the Dalits to use the public tank

On March 20, 1927, the Dalit community collectively filled the tank.

The upper caste people resisted violently, but the Dalits remained non-violent.

Dr. Ambedkar fought a legal battle and fought for the rights of the Dalits in public places.

As a result, this incident became the first major victory of the Dalit movement in India.

The Mahar Satyagraha is considered the foundation of the Indian social justice movement.

Dr. Ambedkar then launched the Nashik Satyagraha (Kalaram Temple Entry) in 1930. The reason was that it was a direct attack on the social rights of Dalits. Dr. Ambedkar led the Elgar Parishad (Dalit-Bahujan Gutta) in the fight for the right to public water.

The result was, violent clashes, many deaths, and an organized victory for Dalits.

The historical impact was such that even today, Dalit-OBC protests continue, and the Dalit rights movement has begun in India.

Both the Bhima Koregaon and Mahar Satyagraha incidents are symbols of the struggle against caste oppression.

Ambedkar's movements organized the Dalits, while modern movements like the "Elgar Parishad" fight for political-social justice.

Even today, atrocities are committed against Dalits, but the power of organized resistance has increased.

"Caste annihilation is the foundation of nation building." — Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's motto.
