Ambedkar battled the standing ridden unjustifiable society on all fronts-social, strict, political and previous reformers who constrained the reason for social advancement and welfare inside a general casing of reference, Ambedkar focused his capacity and assets on the reason for freedom of a specific area, the Dalits. Ambedkar's ideological clash with the Hindu social request and casteism formed into direct activity in March 1924 when a gathering of the untouchables was met at the Damodar Hall, Bombay.
