Manyavar: From Organisation to Power is a powerful political biography that chronicles the transformative journey of Kanshi Ram, one of India’s most visionary and revolutionary leaders. Far beyond a personal life story, this book captures the ideological evolution of the Bahujan movement and the formation of landmark organisations like BAMCEF, DS4, and BSP. Through meticulous analysis, it explores how Kanshi Ram redefined Indian politics by mobilising the marginalised—Dalits, OBCs, and minorities—into a united socio-political force. The book delves into his strategic use of caste census data, constitutional interpretation, and grassroots activism to challenge entrenched systems of privilege. It also critically examines the ideological shifts within the Bahujan Samaj Party under later leadership. Ideal for scholars, students, activists, and general readers, this book offers a rare insight into a political movement built not on dynasty or wealth, but on ideology, organisation, and relentless struggle for social justice and democratic representation.
