Solution
Dalit Panthers, a militant organization of the Dalit youth, was formed in Maharashtra in 1972.
Explanation:
By the early 1970s, first-generation Dalit graduates, particularly those living in metropolitan slums, had begun to assert themselves on a variety of platforms. As a result of these statements, the Dalit Panthers, a militant organization of Dalit youth, was founded in Maharashtra in 1972. In the post-Independence period, Dalit organizations fought primarily against the Dalits' ongoing caste-based disparities and material injustices, despite constitutional assurances of equality and justice. One of their main requests was the effective implementation of reservations and other social justice policies.
