Who are we talking about?
We are talking about 'Mahatma Jyotiba Phule'. Today is his death anniversary. Let's meet them:
➖ Jyotirao Govindrao Phule, born in 1827, was born in a so-called lower caste family. People of the 'Phule' family worked as flower sellers, hence adopting the surname Phule.
➖ Jyotiba was a brilliant student. It was not common for children of the Mali community to study much. So Jyotiba was expelled from school and started working in the fields. But seeing his intelligence, a neighbor convinced his father to let him complete his studies.
