MAHAD has an iconic place in Dalit universe. Associated with
legendary personality of Dr Ambedkar, the struggle of Dalits at
Mahad for asserting their rights to access the public tank, the
Chavadar tank, arguably ranks among the first civil rights
struggles in history. Unfortunately, it remained largely confined
to folklore; its detailed account still remaining fragmented and in
mostly Marathi. This book provides a comprehensive account, using
many sources including the archival materials, of the two
conferences in Mahad in 1927 that marks the beginning of the Dalit
movement under Babasaheb Ambedkar to a wider readership in English.
It tries to frame it within its historical context which will help
people comprehend its historical significance. It also seeks to
draw certain lessons for the future course of the Dalit movement.
The book additionally contains the original account of Comrade R.
B. MORE, the organizer of the first conference at Mahad.
