Jai Bhim: Slogan that energised Dalits was first given at this central Maharashtra village

Published by Parlour News

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, ‘Jai Bhim’: These two words have come to symbolise the awakening and empowerment of the Dalit community in independent India, but not many people know how it originated. Jai Bhim: Slogan that energised Dalits was first given at this central Maharashtra village The slogan, which also encapsulates the immense reverence in which Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar is held, was first raised at the Makranpur Parishad, a conference organised at Makranpur village in Kannad teshil of today’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district in Maharashtra. Ambedkar, the chief architect of India’s Constitution, died on December 6, 1956. Bhausaheb More, the first president of the Scheduled Castes Federation of Marathwada, organised the first Makranpur Parishad on December 30, 1938. Dr Ambedkar spoke at the conference and asked the people not to support the princely state of Hyderabad under which much of central Maharashtra then fell, said Assistant Commissioner of Police Pravin More, Bhausaheb’s son. “When Bhausaheb stood up to speak, he said every community has its own deity and they greet each other using the name of that …

Time for Congress to walk the talk

Time for Congress to walk the talk

Published by Parlour News

The Congress recently announced the launch of ‘Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan’, a campaign to commemorate the 75th year of the Constitution. Hindutva ideologues have denigrated M.K. Gandhi while their antipathy towards Dr. B.R. Ambedkar became evident through the disparaging remarks made by Home Minister Amit Shah in Parliament. In this light, this campaign appears to hold promise. Since coming to power in Karnataka in 2023, the Congress government has signalled its commitment to the Constitution. It hosted an international conference titled ‘Constitution and National Unity’ in February 2024 and held massive celebrations in September 2024 to mark the International Day of Democracy and the Chief Minister urged people to abide by constitutional values. Notwithstanding these, a genuine commitment to democracy must minimally ensure that everyone feels like an active participant in a consultative process. Therefore, spaces for peaceful dissent should not be curtailed. In 2021, the BJP government in Karnataka passed the Licensing and Regulation of Protests, Demonstrations and Protest Marches (Bengaluru City) Order, making public protests outside a designated area illegal.
