PEOPLE WHO PROTESTED JYOTIBA PHULE
Answers
hey mate...
here is your answer...
Phule was born in 1827 into a family that belonged to the agricultural caste, traditionally occupied as gardeners and considered to be one of the Shudra varna in the ritual ranking system of Hinduism.
Pune: Demanding that Phule pagadi (turban) be replaced with Puneri pagadi, students from Savitribai Phule Pune University protested during the convocation ceremony held on Friday in Pune. Police detained students for about four hours, but released them after asking them not to repeat the protest.
Phule pagadi refers to the style of the turban worn by Mahatma Jyotiba Phule – the 19th century reformist who had taken education to the lower castes and women. The pagadi is a symbol of Bahujans – Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and OBC, while Puneri pagadi is a symbol of Peshwas, prime ministers of Maratha Empire. Peshwas, belonging to the upper caste, were known for their brutally oppressive attitude towards the Dalits.
The university administration decided this year to do away with the colonial dress code of black gown and black graduation cap for the convocation ceremony. New dress code that was finalised comprises cream-coloured kurta, white pants, purple-coloured uparana (sash), and it was made compulsory.
