Maharashtra Anti-Caste Movement

The Maharashtra Anti-Caste Movement was a social and political effort in the early 20th century aimed at challenging the entrenched caste system in Maharashtra, India. It sought to promote equality, eradicate caste-based discrimination, and empower marginalized communities like Dalits and other oppressed groups. Leaders like Dr. B.R. Ambedkar played a prominent role, advocating for socio-economic reforms and rights for marginalized castes. The movement contributed to increased awareness, social reform, and policy changes aimed at reducing caste barriers, fostering greater inclusion and social justice in Maharashtra society.
