\nGopal Baba Walangkar (1840-1900), also known as Gopal Krishna, was a pioneering figure in the Dalit movement in Maharashtra. He is considered the first journalist from the untouchable community.
\n“Vittal-Vidhwansak” (meaning “Destroyer of Pollution”) was the first monthly journal specifically aimed at raising awareness and addressing the issues faced by the untouchable community. It was published by Gopal Baba Walangkar starting around 1888.

\nJyotiba Phule was a prominent social reformer who worked for the upliftment of backward classes and women, influencing Walangkar, but “Vittal-Vidhwansak” was published by Walangkar. Gandhi and Ambedkar were later figures in the broader struggle against untouchability, with Ambedkar becoming the foremost leader of the Dalit movement in the 20th century.
