Scheduled Caste Federation

The Scheduled Caste Federation was a political organization in India founded by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in 1942 to advocate for the rights and welfare of Dalits, formerly known as "untouchables." It aimed to promote social justice, fight discrimination, and secure legal and constitutional safeguards for marginalized communities. The federation worked to empower Dalits through political representation and social reforms, challenging caste-based inequalities. It played a significant role in mobilizing Dalit communities and highlighting issues of oppression, contributing to India's broader efforts toward equality and social justice.
