a political movement in [[Tamil Nadu]] working for the upliftment of SC/ST.

Dr. Vai. Balasundaram popularly known as "'''Father of SC/ST Movements of South India'''".He entered into the public life for the upliftment of the deprived communities at the age of 20, became [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mayors_of_Chennai Mayor of Madras] in 1969 at the age of 24 and served as MLA of Tamil Nadu in 1971-77.

After the 1975 emergency, Dr Vai. Balasundaram left his [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam|Dravidian party]] and realized his own autonomous space within the struggles of the underprivileged communities and formed ‘[[Ambedkar Makkal Iyakkam|Ambedkar People Movement’]] in 1977 in ceremony held at [[Rajaji Hall]], Chennai, in the esteemed presence of [[Prabhudas Patwari|Mr. Prabhudas Patwari]], Hon’ble then [[Governors of Tamil Nadu|Governor of Tamil Nadu.]]

Notably, Dr Vai. Balasundaram was instrumental in implementation of ‘'''Nagarpalika Act'''’ in the whole country with reservation to women and SC/STs; since then he has been remembered for SC/ST’s reservation in local bodies in the country, while Dr. B.R. Ambedkar is already known for that in legislative bodies.

He also played a key role in installation of numerous [[Ambedkar Makkal Iyakkam|Ambedkar statues]] across the state.
His outreach across political spectrum was seen when Ministers of Government of Tamil Nadu, Leader of Opposition of Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, political leaders, and icons of disadvantaged section movements of the state paid homage to the veteran leader at his home on 6 December 2019<ref>{{Cite web |title=காலச்சுவடு {{!}} நெடுவழி விளக்குகள் |url=https://www.kalachuvadu.com/magazines/%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%B2%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%9F%E0%AF%81/issues/241/articles/13-%E0%AE%A8%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%9F%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%B4%E0%AE%BF-%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%B3%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%B3%E0%AF%8D |access-date=2023-01-05 |website=www.kalachuvadu.com}}</ref>.
