The historic town of Mahad in the Raigad district of Maharashtra once again became the centre of a powerful assertion of social justice and resistance on March 19–20, 2026, as the Communist Party of India (Marxist), along with the Jati Ant Sangharsh Samiti (JASS) (Struggle Committee for Annihilation of Caste), organised a ‘Human Rights Convention against Manuwad and Capitalism’ at Betkar Maharaj Math (Comrade R B More Nagar), Ladavli village, near Mahad, followed by a massive rally the next day.
