Mahad Satyagraha

The Mahad Satyagraha was a significant civil rights movement in India led by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in March 1927. It aimed to challenge the social discrimination against the Dalit community, specifically their denial of access to water from public wells in Mahad, Maharashtra. Ambedkar and his followers organized a peaceful protest, symbolizing their right to equality and challenging caste-based discrimination. This event highlighted the struggle against untouchability and marked a crucial step in the fight for social justice in India, advocating for the dignity and rights of marginalized groups within society.
