Some Lesser Known Facts About Chandrashekhar Azad (Bhim Army)
He is a Lawyer from Chhutmalpur, a village in the neighborhood of Shabbirpur in Saharanpur District.
In 2011, he planned to go to the United States for higher studies.
While attending his ailing father in a hospital in Saharanpur, he read news regarding Dalitâs atrocities and decided to become a âDalit Activist.â
In 2015, he formed the Bhim Army Ekta Mission (in short, Bhim Army). The Army claims to have more than 50000 members.
According to Chandrashekharâs mother, the awakening inside him against Dalit atrocities was triggered when he heard of the discrimination of Dalit children by the upper-caste Thakurs in a school near his village. The local Rajputs kicked up a storm about Dalit children studying alongside their own children. They would not allow the children to go to school and considered them âuntouchables.â
In 2016, Chandrashekhar Azad & his Bhim Army made headlines for the first time when they wanted to put up a board that reads âThe Great Chamarâ at the entrance of the village, and Thakurs had objected to the idea.Â
In May 2017, Thakurs burnt some Dalit houses in the Shabbirpur village of Saharanpur following the complaints by Dalits over the loud music played by Thakurs during the Maharana Pratap Jayanti. Later, Dalits retaliated by burning down a police post in Saharanpur.
On 21 May 2017, he organized a rally of Bhim Army supporters at the Jantar Mantar in New Delhi without any permission. The rally was attended by more than 5000 Bhim Army supporters.
On 17 February 2021, he was featured in TIME magazineâs annual list of 100 âemerging leaders who are shaping the future.â check sources The Hindu
On 28 June 2023, he was shot at by a few cor-borne unidentified assailants in the Saharanpur district of Uttar Pradesh following which he was rushed to the hospital for treatment. check sources Hindustan Times
