New Delhi, July 6 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi remembered Dalit leader Babu Jagjivan Ram on his death anniversary.

Modi said he will be remembered for his rich contributions to India' history.


"I bow to the great Babu Jagjivan Ram ji on his Punya Tithi. He constantly worked for the welfare of the underprivileged & marginalised," the Indian PM tweeted.

Ram was an Indian independence activist and politician from Bihar.

He belonged to the Chamar caste and was a leader of the Dalit community.

He was instrumental in foundation of the All-India Depressed Classes League, an organisation dedicated to attaining equality for untouchables, in 1935 and was elected to Bihar Legislative Assembly in 1937, after which he organised the rural labour movement.

Ram had served as the Deputy Prime Minister of India from 1977 to 79.
