Civil Rights Movement in India

The Civil Rights Movement in India, particularly during the mid-20th century, aimed to address issues of discrimination, inequality, and injustice faced by marginalized groups, notably Dalits (formerly known as "untouchables") and other lower castes. Influential leaders like Dr. B.R. Ambedkar advocated for social reforms, legal rights, and the abolition of caste-based discrimination. The movement sought to empower these communities through education, political participation, and legal protections, culminating in the Indian Constitution's provisions for equality and social justice. This movement has significantly shaped India's social landscape, promoting awareness and activism for human rights and dignity.
