Sambhaji Bhide is a religious leader with all-party support, while Milind Ekbote is an ex-BJP corporator who grabs headlines for pushing a Hindutva agenda.
The Mahar regiment has had a circuitous journey — from serving the British during the Anglo-Maratha wars to its distinguished service post-Independence.

If the government can provide police protection for occasions like the Amarnath Yatra, why was it unable to provide security for Dalits at Bhima Koregaon event.
Today’s conflict has little or nothing to do with the British, it’s between the Brahmin Peshwas and Mahars. At present, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra is a Brahmin.
Amid protests by Dalits, BJP govt is also staring at 10 Feb deadline by Marathas to meet their demands for reservations and scrapping of the Atrocities Act.
The Koregaon celebration by Dalits questions the dominant notion of nation and nationalism. This is making upper caste groups anxious, and they are calling it “anti-national”.
Through film, textile, scent, sound, and gesture, spectators are invited to descend into an immersive environment where inherited knowledge seeps through material and form.

Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
For the knowledge of K.J.Verma all the battles lost and won during the British period in form the military tradition of different units in the Army, Navy, and the Air Force!
The atrocities of the caste system on the lower rungs of the Society is the source of inspiration for the lower Castes on their victory over the upper caste Peshwas in the Bhima-Koregaon battle, it is imaterial to talk of immortalising the British battle. Fighting on the side of the British the lower caste people inflicted a “devastating” defeat on the upper caste Peshwas is a “rallying point of identity” for the lower Castes. In Rani of Jhansi’s case there were many Hindu Kings with their forces who defeated and killed the Rani of Jhansi !!
Just give me one reason to celebrate East India Company victory over an Indian Raja ? Maximum population of British Citizens, during peace time, was 1,56,000 as reflected in 1931 census. This mini group ruled over 30 cr Indians. This could not have been possible without direct or indirect help of Indians. Those Indians helping Britishers must be having some real grudge some imaginary grievances against other Indians. They must have felt vindicated when Britishers won over Indians in battles. So they should also celebrate those victories ? Mahatma Gandhi and Dr Ambedkar supported recruitment in Indian Army during World War I and World War II. Should we celebrate British victory in these wars?
