About
Dipeshbhau Baban Jadhav is a social leader, founder, and National President of Bahujan Sena, dedicated to the service, empowerment, and upliftment of the Bahujan community.
Hailing from Ravdlah village in Mahad Taluka, District Raigad—the historical land of the Mahad Satyagraha—he carries forward a proud family legacy of social revolution. His great-grandfather, Bapu Pithya Jadhav, was an active participant alongside Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar during the historic Chaddar Tank Satyagraha of March 20, 1927, and the Manusmriti Dahan movement of December 25, 1927.
Carrying forward this revolutionary spirit, Dipeshbhau Jadhav established Bahujan Sena in Parel, Mumbai, to actively fight against injustice, oppression, and inequality. Under his leadership, the organization has expanded its footprint with active branches across districts, talukas, and villages in Maharashtra, as well as in states like Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh.
