This incidence from #Dalit archives is clear indicator why #EWSQuota survived.
In 1902, one Govind Mukunda #Mahar in Ahmednagar dared to take water from a waterbody used by Savarna Hindus. The Savarna Hindus filed a criminal case against Govind Mahar before the magistrate.
#Mahar people had somehow awakened. They protested to the government and also set up a fund to fight Govind Mahar's case before the magistrate. But, Govind Mahar was convicted by the then magistrate of Ahmednagar, Mr. Bapu Hari Godbole, a Brahmin by caste. #BrahminicalSupremacy
He imposed a punishment of two week’s imprisonment and fine of eight rupees on Govind Mahar.
#Mahars petitioned to the Collector, Sir Richard, who appealed to the High Court pleading the punishment was unjust. Govind Mahar was acquitted of all charges in the High Court. #Justice
