The Adi-Andhra Movement in India
In the early 20th century, India’s regions hosted movements that united socially backward parts of the society – the untouchables and other depressed classes. Agitation was launched at the turn of the century in Bengal by the Namashudras, while in the 1920s, in Maharashtra, the Mahars started their struggle led by the prominent politician B.R. Ambedkar (1891–1956). In a number of regions, similar movements were self-defined as ‘Adi’ (initial, ori…
Operation Blue Star in the History of India
Development of the Punjab crisis by the early 1980s along with separatist activities aimed at the secession of Punjab and establishment of an independent Khalistan state in the North-West of India prompted the central government headed by Indira Gandhi (1917–1984) to go to the length of sanctioning an army operation codenamed Blue Star in early June 1984. Its aim was to remove the militants headed by charismatic Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale (1947–1…

In 1931, Adi Dharm was listed in the colonial Census as a separate religion bo…
