Historic Milestones

Formation of Dalit Panthers (DP)

Formation of Dalit Panthers (DP)

A time when social injustices reached their peak. In Mumbai, Maharashtra, the anger and sense of injustice among Dalit youth led to the formation of the Dalit Panther movement by poets Namdeo Dhasal and J.V. Pawar in Bombay (Mumbai), Maharashtra. This movement was inspired by the Black Panther movement in America. The courage, resistance, and uprising for rights of this movement created a great awakening in the minds of Indian Dalit youth.

Formation of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK)

Under Thirumavalavan's leadership, DPI was transformed into a formal political party and renamed "Viduthalai Chiruthaigal". The word "Viduthalai" (Liberation) was added due to the influence of ethnic conflicts in Sri Lanka and Tamil nationalist symbols like the Liberation Tigers (LTTE). This was necessary to gain legal status in regional politics and to combine anti-caste ideology with Tamil national identity.

When Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Party decided to participate in elections on August 17, its leader resigned from government service. This ensured the party's full-time political engagement. Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Party (VCK) faced its first general election in 1999. Leader Thol. Thirumavalavan contested from Chidambaram constituency and received 30.8% of the votes. This was higher than the Scheduled Caste (SC) population percentage (22.65%) in that constituency. Through this, VCK proved that it was not just a caste-based party but rather a broad-based anti-caste party.
