Kalaram Temple Satyagraha

The Kalaram Temple Satyagraha was a peaceful protest in 1930 in Nashik, India, led by Mahatma Gandhi and local activists. It aimed to challenge the ban on Dalits (formerly "untouchables") entering the temple premises, which was restricted due to caste discrimination. Gandhi and supporters promoted nonviolent resistance, emphasizing equal rights and social justice. Their efforts succeeded in pressuring authorities to remove caste-based restrictions, advancing the fight against racial and social discrimination in India. The movement highlighted the importance of nonviolent protest in achieving social change.
