'''Surendranath Tipnis''' was the president of the Mahad Municipality in the early 1900s and a social activist. He was born in a Marathi [[CKP]] family. Along with other progressive social activists of the time such as A.V. Chitre and the [[Chitpawan]] Brahmin [[G. N. Sahasrabudhe]], he was instrumental in helping [[B. R. Ambedkar|Babasaheb Ambedkar]] during the [[Mahad Satyagraha]]. He declared [[Mahad]]'s public spaces open to untouchables and invited Ambedkar to hold a meeting at Mahad in 1927. Later, he went on to become an MLA in Ambedkar's [[Independent Labour Party]]. He was awarded the titles 'Dalitmitra'(friend of the [[dalit]]s) and 'Nanasaheb'.<ref>{{cite book | title =Dalits and the Democratic Revolution: Dr Ambedkar and the Dalit Movement in Colonial India|last1=Omvedt|first1=Gail|date=30 January 1994|page=138|isbn=9788132119838|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=leuICwAAQBAJ&dq=tipnis+ambedkar&pg=PT138|quote=G.N.
