Arakshan Movement

The Arakshan Movement was a campaign in India during the early 20th century advocating for reservations or affirmative action for marginalized communities, especially Dalits and other oppressed groups. It sought greater social and educational opportunities by urging the government to implement policies that would address historical inequalities. The movement aimed to uplift disadvantaged populations by promoting inclusivity and ensuring fair access to resources, education, and employment, ultimately contributing to social reform and greater equality within Indian society.
