#SwamiShraddhanand – The Sanyasi who was murdered for doing Gharwapsi.

In 1922, Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar famously called Swami Shraddhanand “the greatest and most sincere champion of the Untouchables”.

In Indian history, this honorific title Great Soul (Mahatma) is bestowed
upon Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi as ‘Mahatma’ Gandhi. Most historical texts characterize him as an angelic, saintly statesman who could do no wrong.
But, in reality, there was one Mahatma whose name has all but been erased in Indian history textbooks. He was ‘Mahatma Munshiram’
more famously known as Swami Shraddhanand. For long, the Swami has been portrayed by historians as just a ‘Hindu’ revivalist. But if one goes through the story of his life one will find him to be a living portrait of bravery and sacrifice.
