The Mahad Satyagraha of 1927 was organized by B. R. Ambedkar. This Satyagraha was launched by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar on March 20, 1927, to challenge the caste-based discrimination and assert the right of the untouchables (Dalits) to use water from the public Chavadar Tank in Mahad, Maharashtra. The Mahad Satyagraha was a significant event in the history of the Dalit movement in India, demonstrating the commitment of Ambedkar to fight for the civil rights of the depressed classes through direct action and assertion.
