Dr. B.R. Ambedkar led 2,500 Dalits to drink from Mahad's Chavdar Tank in 1927, defying caste bans on public water.
Satyagraha burned the Manusmriti on December 25, rejecting caste ideology symbolically.
Centenary convention in Mahad urges carrying Ambedkar's equality fight against caste and capitalism today.

Mahad Satyagraha marks Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's 1927 push for Dalits' right to public water, predating Gandhi's Salt March as India's first organized human rights protest. It spotlighted caste discrimination at Chavdar Tank, where untouchables were barred despite a 1923 resolution opening resources to all. This centenary highlights its role in shaping constitutional equality.
