On 1 January 2018, lakhs of Dalits made their way to the Vijaystambh to mark 200 years of the 1818 Bhima-Koregaon battle met with violence. Stones were pelted and vehicles set ablaze as clashes broke out between Dalits and upper caste Marathas. According to legend, 500 soldiers from the Mahar community fought for the British East India Company and overthrew a much stronger contingent of the (Brahmin) Peshwas during the battle.
The district administration, the police and villages around the Vijaystambh were pulling all stops to ensure that the Bhima-Koregaon memorial day on 1 January 2019, is not only held without a glitch, but that visitors also get a warm welcome.
From arranging for surveillance drones and cameras to medical, water and parking facilities and vetting every shop along the way, the district administration and the Pune rural police are closely monitoring the preparations.
In this episode Dilip Mandal, in conversation with associate professor Ratan Lal, talks about the history of Bhim Koregaon and what is the importance of the event in the history of India, and why there is still an antagonism towards the Dalits?
