Why does water become a matter of dispute?

Answer»

Water became a matter of dispute when the upper caste people indifferently and intentionally polluted the drinking water of the Dalits in Karamchedu. In the Mahad municipality in Mumbai even though the municipality had passed a resolution allowing the Dalit community access to the public tank, the local upper caste people prevented them from using the water.

Subsequently, Dr Ambedkar went in a rally to the pond, drank a handful of water from the tank, and asserted the right of the Dalits to use water from a public place, like everyone else.
