Definitions of caste frequently centered on Brahminical concepts of purity and pollution, with strong opposition to these ideas also emerging.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Defination of caste shaped by bhramanical notion of purity and\u00a0 pollution, created rigid social boundries.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Colonial Government further enterenched these boundaries by various legislations<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">In the 1870s, the colonial administration introduced legislation that culminated in the Criminal Tribes Act of 1871 in North India, later extending to the Bengal Presidency in 1876 and the Madras Presidency in 1911. This law empowered the colonial government to label entire communities as criminals, a designation that persisted until 1949 when it was replaced by the Habitual Offenders Act of 1952.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Emergence of Anti-caste leaders<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">By the onset of the First World War, India had a larger number of English-educated elites than any other European colony. Despite their efforts to articulate the principles of universal human rights, citizenship, and constitutional governance, caste continued to be a significant underlying factor in the national discourse about India&#8217;s future.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">As the shadow of colonialism grow,various leaders grew to challange the caste system<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">One such leader was Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, a 19th-century Marathi activist and founder of the Satyashodhak Samaj, who became one of modern India&#8217;s first anti-caste ideologues. Phule authored Gulamgiri (1873), which detailed the plight of &#8220;untouchables&#8221; in India and praised Muslim rulers, Christian missionaries, and the British administration for fostering an egalitarian consciousness in Indian society. He also introduced the term &#8220;Dalit&#8221; (meaning &#8220;untouchables&#8221; or &#8220;broken people&#8221;) into the lexicon of anti-caste movements and promoted his version of the Aryan invasion theory, portraying the Vedic and Puranic pantheon of Hindu icons as exploitative and oppressive toward the nation\u2019s indigenous peoples and tribes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The first significant 20th-century event in pan-Indian Dalit movements was the All India Depressed Classes Leaders\u2019 Conference in Nagpur in 1926. This conference led to the formation of the All India Depressed Classes Association, with Rao Bahadur M.C. Rajah as president and B.R. Ambedkar as one of its vice presidents. In the Madras Presidency, Erode Venkatappa Ramasamy (Periyar) founded the anti-Brahminical Self-Respect Movement, which later laid the foundation for his leadership of the Justice Party in 1939.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">In 1927, Ambedkar led the Mahad Satyagraha, advocating for the rights of &#8220;untouchables&#8221; to access water from a public tank in Mahad, Maharashtra, previously restricted by leaders of privileged castes. Later that year, Ambedkar organized a public procession to burn the Manusmriti\u2014an ancient Indian text viewed by both Phule and Ambedkar as a significant source of the caste system and the practice of untouchability.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">In 1930, the year of the First Round Table Conference, Ambedkar founded the All India Depressed Classes Congress. On the streets, Dalit mobilizations called for land reforms, the eradication of caste-based employment, the consolidation of workers&#8217; unions in mills and factories, internal social reforms among depressed classes (such as intermarriage between subcastes), and the elimination of devadasi-type prostitution.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Meanwhile, a caste uplift movement initiated by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and factions of the emerging Hindutva movement also sought to eradicate untouchability and caste divisions by attempting to homogenize ritualistic and symbolic hierarchies among various castes in Maharashtra.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Independence and the partition of caste politics<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">As India inched closer to independence,the dream of casteless society clashed with the realities of nation building<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The need to draft a constitution and manage the pressure of partition forced a compromise, fragmenting the once united dalit movements.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">In the following years, Gandhi&#8217;s approach to eradicating untouchability and uplifting castes continued under the banner of his organization, the Harijan Sevak Sangh. Initially, this seemed to align him with Ambedkar, particularly with the Poona Pact&#8217;s provisions and the tenets of the new Government of India Act of 1935.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">However, this collaboration was short-lived. The Congress party soon formed the All India Depressed Classes League, appointing Dalit leaders Babu Jagjivan Ram as its president and Prithvi Singh Azad as the general secretary. In response, Ambedkar founded the Independent Labour Party in 1936, further emphasizing his divergence from Gandhian and Congress ideologies.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Lingering legacy of caste in modern times<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The period between 1917 and 1950 witnessed the rise of a new rhetoric, presenting a supposedly modernized version of Hinduism, heavily influenced by Gandhi&#8217;s vision of Ram Rajya as an ideal welfare state.
