On the 17th of February, Nitin Gadkari Pays tribute to Thor revolutionaries Lahuji Salve and Lahuji Vastad on the occasion of their memorial day.
Lahuji Salve was a name that has become synonymous with the struggle for the rights of marginalized communities in Maharashtra, India. Born in a small village in 1794, Lahuji Salve dedicated his life to the betterment of the oppressed and downtrodden.
He was an ardent social worker, freedom fighter, and prominent leader of the Dalit movement. His tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to the cause of social justice have earned him a revered place in the history of Maharashtra. In this article, we will delve deep into the life and achievements of Lahuji Salve and his impact on the social and political landscape of Maharashtra.
On July 20, 1879, Vasudev Balwant Phadke was captured by the British while he was sleeping in ‘Devarnavadga’ and charged with treason. Vasudev Phadke was born on 7 November 1879 and received his education in Thothawali. Lahuji’s Manavar got a big shock. Avghya Tera Mikayani i.e. on 17 February 1881 Lahuji Salvenchi Pranjyot Malavali and a Mahakranti festival culminated in a hut in the Punyachya Sangampurchaya area.
