Today marks the birth anniversary of Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj - a true architect of social justice in India. Born in 26 June, 1874, the visionary king of Kolhapur gave the world a blueprint for equality long before it became policy: 🎓 Reserved 50% government jobs for backward classes - India's first reservation policy (1902) 📚 Funded free education for all, regardless of caste ⚖️ Banned untouchability in his kingdom 🤝 Supported Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's education abroad 🚰 Built hostels and schools for marginalized communities 📜 Promoted inter-caste marriages and widow remarriage He didn't just talk about equality - he built it, brick by brick, from the throne. Jai Shahu! 🙏🏽 #ShahuMaharaj #BirthAnniversary #SocialJustice #Bahujan #Ambedkar #EqualityForAll #SARA
