MAHAD holds a revered position within the Dalit universe, intricately linked to the legendary figure of Dr. Ambedkar. The struggle of the Dalits at Mahad for asserting their rights to access the public tank, the Chavadar tank, stands as one of the pioneering civil rights movements in history. Regrettably, this historic struggle has largely been relegated to folklore, with its detailed account remaining fragmented and predominantly in the Marathi language. This book aims to present a comprehensive account of the two conferences held in Mahad in 1927, marking the inception of the Dalit movement under the leadership of Babasaheb Ambedkar. By contextualizing it within its historical framework, the book seeks to enhance the understanding of its historical significance for a broader English-speaking audience. Furthermore, it endeavors to draw valuable lessons for the future trajectory of the Dalit movement. Additionally, the book includes the original account of Comrade R. B. MORE, the organizer of the inaugural conference at Mahad.
