Answer 1

Introduction

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was a leading activist, economist, jurist, politician and social reformer who stood for the rights of Dalits and lower castes. He campaigned against social evils like untouchability and caste discrimination. He played the most important role in drafting the constitution of India. He was the first law minister of independent India and is rightly known as the architect of Indian constitution.

Role of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in Mahad Satyagraha

In the Indian caste system, untouchables were segregated from the Hindus. They were banned to use public water sources which were used by Hindus. Mahad Satyagraha was led by Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar on 20th March 1927. This was to permit untouchables to use public tank water in Mahad, Maharashtra, India. Ambedkar launched the Satyagraha for the rights of untouchables to use water in the public places. The location Mahad was selected for the movement. Numerous people from the Dalit community came forward to participate in the movement.Dr. B.R. Ambedkar struck a powerful blow against the Hindu Caste system. He stated that the march to chavadar tank was not to merely drink water from it but the meeting was called to set up the norms of equality. He also mentioned Dalit women during Satyagraha and appealed to them to abandon all the old customs and wear saris like high caste Indian women. After Ambedkar’s speech at Mahad, Dalit women were influenced to drape their saris like upper class women. Higher class women like Indirabia Chitre and Lakshmibai Tipnis helped these Dalit women to drape the saree like high class women.

Trouble roused when the rumors were spread that the untouchables would be entering the Vishweshwara Temple to pollute it. Riots up surged from upper caste mobs beating up untouchables and ransacking their homes. A puja was performed by Hindus to purify the tank water arguing that the Dalits had polluted the water.

The second conference was decided to be held by Babasaheb Ambedkar in Mahad on 25th December 1927. But a case was filed against him by Hindus that tank was a private property. Thus, the Satyagraha movement was not continued as the case was sub judice. Bombay High Court ruled that untouchables have the right to use tank water in December 1937.

Conclusion

Thus, Babasaheb Ambedkar always stood for the equality of Untouchables and other lower castes. He fought for the rights of Dalits. He was an activist and demanded social equality and justice.
