Worli riots rocked the heart of central Mumbai exactly 50 years ago. They began in the BDD chawls on January 5, 1974, during the lifespan of the revolutionary Dalit Panthers, and altered the course of the Dalit movement.
A lawyer by profession, Malaichamy started the Dalit Panther Iyakkam, a movement that wanted to claim its rightful space in a state dominated by parties running with caste-based vote banks. Today, September 14, is his 34th death anniversary.
