In the 1930s, Ambedkar initiated organized campaigns for the rights of Dalits. He insisted on the freedom of all castes to access temples and the availability of public drinking water sources. He organized symbolic protests to enter the Kalaram Temple in Nashik and publicly denounced Hindu texts that support bigotry.
He used a variety of strategies to protect Dalit rights. By influencing public opinion through his works in several publications, including Mook Nayak, Vahishkrit Bharat, and Equality Janta, which he founded for the defense of Dalit rights, Ambedkar initiated a movement against Dalit prejudice.
