Dailt participation was limited in the civil disobedience mvmnt . Explain.
Answers
Dalit participation in Civil Disobedience Movement was limited:
1. Congress had ignored Dalits for a long time because they didn't want to offend the conservative high-caste Hindus.
2. But Gandhi wanted to eliminate untouchability. He called them children of God or Harijan and organized satyagraha to get them access to public wells, schools, and temples.
3. He himself cleaned toilets to respect the work of the bhangi and tried to persuade the upper caste to give up untouchability.
4. But many Dalit leaders believed only political empowerment can solve the problems faced by the community in the society.
5. They demanded separate electorates for the Dalit community in legislative councils and reserved seats in educational institutions. So Dalit participation was limited especially in the Maharashtra and Nagpur region.
