WEB Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan: A New Force in Dalit Politics
From the ashes of caste violence, a new political star is rising.
WEB Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan, founder of the Bhim Army, is leading a movement that is shaking up the political establishment.
WEB Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan, born December 3, 1986, is an Indian social activist, Ambedkarite activist, and politician. He is the son of Saharanpur and is leading a new brand of Dalit-Bahujan politics to Parliament.
Azad Ravan has been booked under the National Security Act following a caste clash that left one dead and many injured in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. However, this has not deterred him from his mission of fighting for the rights of the Dalit community.
In an exclusive interview with India Today's Rahul Kanwal, Azad Ravan spoke about his vision for the future of Dalit politics.
"We are tired of being treated as second-class citizens," Azad Ravan said. "We are demanding our rightful place in society, and we will not rest until we achieve it."
Azad Ravan's message is resonating with Dalit voters across Uttar Pradesh. In the recent assembly elections, the Bhim Army won five seats, and Azad Ravan is leading by more than 50,000 votes in his own constituency.
Azad Ravan's rise to prominence is a sign of the growing frustration among Dalit voters with the traditional political parties. These parties have failed to address the concerns of the Dalit community, and as a result, Dalit voters are looking for alternatives.
Azad Ravan and the Bhim Army offer a new hope for Dalit voters. They are a force to be reckoned with, and they are sure to play a major role in the future of Dalit politics in India.
