Mahad marks the birthplace of one of India’s first human rights movements initiated by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
About Mahad Satyagraha (1927)
Mahad Satyagraha, launched by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar on 20 March 1927 at Chavdar Tale, Mahad (Maharashtra), was the first major civil rights movement of Dalits.
Its objective was to secure the right of untouchables to access public drinking water denied due to caste discrimination.
Ambedkar, along with key associates such as Anandrao Chitre, Bapu Sahastrabuddhe, Sambhaji Gaikwad and Ramchandra More, led thousands to drink water from the public tank, asserting that essential resources cannot be monopolised by upper castes.
