Kanshi Ram - A Lifestory

A person known for working for fairness and waking people up to politics in India, gave their life to helping those who were pushed aside. They were more than just a person; they were a strong force, like the main character in the movie "Article 15", bravely fighting unfairness in society that had been there for a long time. Born in 1934, their path started away from politics, but what they saw and felt turned them into the leader they became. Before they got into politics, they were an officer in the Indian Army. This taught them to be organized, to think ahead, and to really know the country. Picture them, as a soldier, seeing for themselves the big differences in the country, which was very different from what the Constitution said. Inspired by people like B.R. Ambedkar, they quit their government job in 1964 after something happened when a holiday for Buddha Purnima was taken away. After this, they gave their life to making society better. They started BAMCEF (All India Backward and Minority Communities Employees Federation) in 1978, which was a big move to bring together and give power to those who were treated badly. Later, they created the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in 1984, a political group that wanted to give a voice and power to the Bahujan community. Their work was like the feelings shown in movies like "Sujata", which showed the problems faced by people from so called lower castes. Their story still inspires people, reminding us how important it is to be equal and fair in society, a fight they never stopped until they died in 2006.
