How Our Journey Started
Mr. Tulsidas Raj, a prominent social reformer and social activist stands out as an exceptional leader and an unwavering advocate for the Dalits, marginalized and voiceless people. Known for his tireless crusade against the oppression of Dalits and people of marginalized sections of the society and his unwavering commitment to ensure every Dalit’s fundamental rights, sets an unmatched standard in the field of social reforms.
Tulsidas Raj was born in year 1963 in Rajasthan to a family of Dalits from the village of Dediya, near to Phalodi in Jodhpur district. He grew up in a lower middle-class family, his parents were farmers and resided in the Dalit populated locality of Dediya village in Jodhpur. Tulsidas attended school at Govt. Primary School, Ramdevra and then Sumer School in Jodhpur city. He began his higher secondary education in the core stream of Commerce. He attained his Bachelor degree from Jai Narayan Vyas University, Jodhpur in Commerce. After completing education and being a helping hand to his parents in agriculture, he started searching out for a job. After some efforts, he got selected for a government job of Clerk in Rajasthan State Revenue Department and joined the service in Phalodi in year 1987.
In that era, casteism was at height in the society. On the day of joining, he was introduced among his fellow workers and had to disclose his caste/community. Staff was a mix of various casts and religion. Knowing him a Dalit community member everyone was not happy. So, what staff did with him shocked his soul deep inside. Staff made contribution and collected some amount and purchased a separate ‘Matka’ (drinking water pot) for him and told him that this separate pot is for only him as he belongs to lower caste (Meghwal). He was restricted to drink water from other water pots from which other staff persons of higher casts used to drink. Anyhow he tolerated this.
Later, at regular intervals of time Tulsidas faced many events of discrimination in various forms and felt insulted every time. A thought came into his mind that – “Being educated and a government employee, if I am being insulted so many times, then what will be the situation of other people of my community? What they would be facing? Most of them are also illiterate and poor too…”. One day, he got fed up of tolerating insults and finally submitted Resignation from his services in January 1990.
From there, he decided to work for the betterment of Dalit community and other marginalized/deprived sections of the society and started making efforts towards bringing them into the social mainstream. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar became his ideal and he started to follow the Philosophy of ‘Baba Saheb’. He used to wander from village to village without anyone’s support, educate children of Dalit & marginalized sections of the society and spread the preachings of Dr. Ambedkar.
On January 16,1993 efforts of Tulsidas were named as JAI BHEEM VIKAS SHIKSHAN SANSTHAN and it got registered under Rajasthan Societies Act, 1958 as a Non-profit, Non-religious, non-government organization and the noble work flowed further through this stream. Organization also started working on other issues of Dalit/marginalized communities like Discrimination, Untouchability, Basic human Rights/ Fundamental Rights, Social exclusion, Women violence, Girl education, Women violence, Children etc.
- In year 2000, he came in contact with UNNATI, Ahmedabad and got a fellowship and started further work in Shergarh, Jodhpur. He also got linked to Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) as party belonged to Dalits and also worked with Mr. Kashiram, BSP Supremo for many years for betterment of Dalit community. Thereafter he stood a prime member of ‘Rajasthan Dalit Force’. He headed the ‘Bandhua Mazdoor Mukti Abhiyan’ and helped in rescue of more than 3000 Dalit Bonded labors all over Rajasthan who were living a pitiful and miserable life and also rehabilitated them. This was done in association with Govt. machinary. With his efforts CM of Rajasthan Mr. Ashok Gehlot formed a board for Dalits and Nomadic tribes by the name of “Rajasthan Rajya Vimukt, Ghumantu & Ardh-Ghumantu Kalyan Board”. He also contributed in SC/ST sub plan revision, Rajasthan Tenancy Act 1955 Section 42 (B) etc. As his team continued to make efforts, various projects started coming by and today he’s a well-known name in Rajasthan in the field of Dalit Rights and welfare.
