Explanation
★The Adi Ambedkar Samaj movement is associated with Punjab, a state with a long history of Dalit assertion.
★Punjab saw the Ad Dharm movement of the 1920s, led by Mangoo Ram Mugowalia, which sought a separate Dalit religious and social identity.
★Such Adi movements claimed that Dalits were the original inhabitants, distinct from the caste-Hindu order.
★Punjab has one of the largest Dalit population shares in India, including the Ad-Dharmi and Ravidassia communities.
★The naming and orientation of the movement draw on Ambedkar's anti-caste thought.
★Tie this movement to its region: read Adi-Ambedkar and Ad Dharm assertion as part of Punjab's Dalit politics.
