3.2 Annabhau Sathe and Ambedkarism
Writer Bhandare (2015) noted that in the initial phase of Sathe's life, he got associating with the comrade Salvi and comrade More and therefore he influenced and impressed by communist ideology but he had also the influence of Phule – Ambedkar thoughts. He had studded books of Phule, Ambedkar, Kabir, Gorki etc. After 1955, he knew that the Marxism is not suitable of India because there is not only class but also caste. He noticed that the Marxism is insufficient to the development of Dalits and underprivileged so he accepted Ambedkarism. Therefore although the writing of Sathe was talking about class struggle, later taking against caste system and Dalit injustice and Smashyanatil Son, Thadgyatil Had, Nilu Mang, Savla Mang, Sapla, Valan etc books are examples.

4 Matang - Mahar Relationship and Conflicts
Matang, Mahar, Chambhar are major Dalit communities in Maharashtra. There is very less harmony found among Dalit communities. Non- Dalit communities hated the Dalit communities and Dalits communities' hatred each other due to their caste consciousness. " The superiority and inferiority complex in relation to each other among Dalit castes in Maharashtra prohibited them from coming together "(Dhaware, 2013). The Mang - Mahar relationship take the significant role to understand the attitude of Matang community toward Dr. Ambedkar.

By using the principle of individual autonomy, rather than civil disobedience, Gandhi created “Satyagraha”, a nonviolent resistance to unfair laws.
Karl Marx (1818-1883) was one of the most influential thinkers and writers of modern times. Although it was only until after his death when his doctrine became world know and was titled Marxism. Marx is best known for his publication, The Communist Manifesto that he wrote with Engels; it became a very influential for future ideologies. A German political philosopher and revolutionary, Karl Marx was widely known for his radical concepts of society. This paper give an analysis of “The Manifesto” which is a series of writings to advocate Marx ‘s theory of struggles between classes. I will be writing on The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848, which lays down his theories on socialism and Communism.
He believed of fighting through satyagraha which is reaching truth. Likewise, I respect how he promoted non-hostile behavior; instead he encouraged peace through active non-violent resistance. Also, I agree with John Locke’s ideas about the equality of people, property rights, etc. His inspiring thoughts promoted the constitution and declaration of independence. On the other hand, I don’t concur with John Stuart Mill hedonist view. Mill’s utilitarianism theory may promote happiness, but there may be actions that are not necessarily moral. For instance, if the utility of society was improved by slavery, then apparently permitting slavery it is right? I don’t think so. Lastly I disagree with Karl Marx views on communism, because the government controls all the production of goods for equal distribution to all its population and it discourages personal
Looking upon Indian society for comparison, it is seen that the primary factor of the caste system is built
Karl Marx was one of sociology greatest thinkers and philosophers, one of his most famous pieces of work was das kapitial which has been linked heavily as a first part of the volume for the working class, although Marx did not live to see his ideas on communism happen. however, his writings did go on to form the base of modern communism (bbc history),
Karl Marx an influential German economist also known as the Father of Communism was the Author of the popular book, Dad Kapital (the capital) and The Communist Manifesto alongside with his friend Friedrich Engels. His words “Let the ruling classes tremble at the prospect of a Communist Revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose from it but their chains. They have a world to win. Proletarians of all countries, unite!” is a wake-up call to the working to realize what they can achieve if they start a revolution against the abusive capitalist system. Karl Marx had an antagonistic standpoint regarding capitalism believing it caused an unjust division of classes, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, and generated dehumanization and alienation.
Communities are kept separated by castes which results in a lot of social consequences. When communities are separated by a system that builds social barriers between them, those of the higher status will deliberately discriminate against those of the lower castes, which creates all sorts of problems. An example of this could be seen in the Dalit story,
Mahatma Gandhi enacted change by striving to end racial injustice. He did this to show that anyone of any race or religion should have equal rights. According to “Satyagraha: Gandhi’s Legacy”, it states, “Gandhi developed his philosophy of “Satyagraha,” or resistance through non-violent civil disobedience to defend his rights and the rights of all Indians and non-whites” (Studysync Editors). Gandhi himself had been faced with discrimination. However, instead of ignoring the situation, Gandhi took a stand and did what was right to ensure equality among all people. The Studysync Editors stay, “As had been the case in the southern United States, Indians and other non-white people were forced to ride at the back of trains, use separate facilities, and were treated as second-class citizens. Gandhi believed that this was wrong”. With his opinions in mind, Gandhi decided to get his beliefs out by starting non-violent protest. As the leader he was, he lead many protests that included: unfair taxes and oppressive discrimination, as well as alleviating poverty, helping in the women’s liberation movement, and ending caste discrimination. Studysync Editors wrote, “Gandhi's work inspired large-scale global change. Resistance to British involvement in South Africa and in India helped to inspire a movement of decolonization all over the world. Several political and spiritual leaders were inspired by Gandhi's work…”. Gandhi’s influence to the civilization was a huge turning point for those of the non-white race. By his assiduous act and hope of impact, Gandhi didn’t just catch the eye of the discriminated but also the attention of others. Mahatma Gandhi is remembered today as one of the most
He believed that India should remain unscathed, he states that "India that her people are so uncivilized, ignorant and impassive, that it is not possible to induce them to adopt any changes." He also states that "civilization is that mode of conduct which points to man the path of duty." The Gujarati equivalent for civilization means "good conduct." In some of the primary sources Gandhi compares the mind to a restless bird; "the more it gets the more it wants, and still remains unsatisfied." Then he state's that "the more we indulge our passions the more unbridled they become." Gandhi talks about how his country has remained the same throughout the years, and has had no system of "life-corroding competition." He talks about how the Indian people have had the same types of cottages in their former times, and how their education has remained the same throughout the years. Gandhi also states that "It was not that we did not know how to invent machinery, but our forefathers knew that, if we set our hearts after such things, we would become slaves and lose our moral backbone." He believed that people should only do what they could with there hands and feet. He wanted people to live independently and to follow their agricultural livelihood, in a true home rule. This is what Gandhi considered to be a real civilization.
One of the greatest philosophies from the 19th century was Karl Marx.

Chingis Khan’s name is widely regarded to be synonymous with bloodshed and conquest. His legacy is widely regarded as one of barbarism and cruelty, with little in the way of redeeming qualities. While there is no doubt that the great khan was often brutal, that is not the sum total of the man in any way. Since history gets most of its information from those he conquered, the true story of the man is much more nuanced and complex then what is generally known. We will endeavor to explore the totality of the man to determine his true character. Not only did the laws he established (called the Yassa) mandate absolute freedom of religion and religious tolerance, but also equality of women. Something that was widely unknown in his time. It is for these reason that I have chosen to write about him. Next, we will study a person who is widely considered to be the greatest modern leader of the Indian people, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, know more commonly as Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi conceived and led a campaign of civil disobedience expressed in nonviolent resistance to what he regarded as unjust laws, that eventually led to the end of the British colonial

Even though the middle class triumphed over feudalism, he argued that this class did not grow or develop completely. This triumph

He was a scholar that believed that capitalism was going to undercut itself as he stated in the Communist Manifesto. While he was relatively ambiguous in his lifetime, his works had tremendous influence after his death. Some of the world’s most powerful and most populace countries follow his ideas to this day. Many of history’s most eventful times were persuaded by his thoughts.
