About
A scholar in service of a forgotten history.
Dr. Manoj Dahiya brings academic rigour to the story of Satguru Ravidass Ji, the Ravidassia movement and Bahujan thought.
The mission
Evidence, not myth.
As Assistant Professor at Ramanujan College, University of Delhi, and an ICSSR Post-Doctoral Fellow researching the Ravidassia religion, Dr. Dahiya works where history, literature and economics meet.
Qualified JRF in both Hindi and Economics, he reads the Bani as literature, the movement as social history, and Begumpura as a serious economic and ethical vision.
His goal: give every seeker — in Hindi, English and Urdu — access to a rigorous, respectful understanding of Ravidassia Dharm.
