About Kisan Faguji Bansod
Lived 1879 – 1946 (aged 67).
Kisan Faguji Bansod (1879 – 1946) was a leader of Dalit movement in pre-independence India.
Bansod was born on 18 February 1879 in a Mahar family at Mohapa village near Nagpur. Influenced by the Bhakti cult, he was a proponent of upliftment of dalits within the fold of Hinduism.
Bansod was influenced by the works of Brahmo Samaj and Prarthana Samaj. He attended the annual function of Prarthana Samaj in 1905 at Mumbai. He was also associated with Vitthal Ramji Shinde, founder of Depressed Classes Mission. Though he was a supporter of theory of Aryan conquest and enslavement of dalits, contrary to Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, he was in favour of reforms in Hinduism rather than conversion out of it.
He died on 10 October 1946 at Nagpur.
