Term added on Sunday 30th June, 2024 by Team
Phule-Ambedkar Conference, jo Mahad Conference ke naam se bhi jaana jaata hai, 20 March 1927 ko Mahad mein hua tha, jo Maharashtra, India ke Raigad district mein ek chhota sa gaao hai. Yeh conference Dalit movement ki history mein ek mahatvapoorn ghatna thi, kyunki isme pehli baar Dalit community ke members milkar apne Saman adhikaar aur pratishthake liye awaz uthaye.
Is sammelan ka aayojan Dr. B.R. Ambedkar ne kiya tha, jo uss samay ek maan-samman wale Dalit leader aur samaaj sudharak ke roop mein pehchan bana chuke the. Unhe Jyotirao Phule se prerna mili thi, jo 19 vi sadee ke pramukh samaaj sudhaarak the aur Maharashtra mein Dalit aandolan ke pratham neta (pioneer) the. Phule ne Dalit samudaay kee education aur empowerment ke liye kaam kiya tha, aur unke vichaaron ne Babasaheb Ambedkar par gehra asar daala.
Conference mein hazaron logon ne bhag liya, jinme Dalit community ke sadasyon ke saath saath dusri jaati aur community ke samarthak bhi shamil the. Is conference ka main uddeshya yeh maang rakhna tha ki Mahad mein Daliton ko ek public tank se paani pine ka haq hona chahiye , jisko uss samay upper-caste Hindus ka exclusive privilege maana jaata tha.
Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar ek Dalit procession ka netritva karte hue tank tak gaye aur paani pine ki koshish ki. Lekin unhe wahan upper-caste Hindus kee sakht virodh se rukhna pada, jinhone unpe hamla kiya aur bhagne k liye majboor kiya . Hinsa ke bawjood conference ho hi gayi, aur kayi Dalit leaders ne bhashan diye, jinme Babasaheb Ambedkar bhi shaamil the.
Babasaheb Ambedkar ne apne bhashan mein Dalit community par hue aitihaasik aur samajik anyay ke baare mein kaha aur unki upliftment aur empowerment ki aavashyakta par zor diya. Unhone caste system ko khatam karne ki bhi baat ki, jise unhone Indian society ko bhed-bhav aur anyay ki jad maana.
Yeh conference Dalit aandolan ke liye ek turning point sabit hui aur aane wale saalon mein aur bhi bahut virodh aur pradarshan (Demonstration) ki prerna deti rahi. Isse Babasaheb Ambedkar bhi national attention par aaye aur Dalit community ke pramukh neta neta ke roop mein sthaapit karane mein madad kee.
Sangkhyep mein, pehla Phule-Ambedkar sammelan Dalit movement ki history ka ek aitihaasik kshan tha. Isne Dalit community ke liye ek nayi activism aur empowerment ki shuruaat ko nishani banaya, aur unke khilaaf hone wale samajik aur rajnitik anyay ke prati jaagrukta badhayi.
Aaj bhi yeh conference barabar ki ladai ke prerna ke roop mein kayam hai, aur yeh saamaajik sudhaarak aur activists ki pidhiyon(Generation) ko samaajik nyay ke liye ladne ki prerna deti hai.
