Question

Problems of depressed classes during 1930
in india

Answer 1

Answer:

The Mahars were one of the Barah Balutas (12 artisan / servant castes) of Maharashtra. They were an untouchable caste of inferior village servants.

The Mahar movement was organized by Gopal Baba Walangkar, an ex-serviceman, who in 1894 drafted a petition claiming Kshatriya status and thereby demanding more jobs in the army and the services. The Mahars later formed the backbone of Dr. Ambedkar’s movement.
