Jotirao Phule was an Indian aboriginal. His akhandas were based on the abhangs of Indian aboriginal saint Tukaram (a Moray Shudra.)
His own hero was Chhatrapati Shivaji. He called Shivaji a “…destroyer of the Brahmins“. He believed that they were a degenerative force like the wild animals.
He was a subscriber to Maharishi Vitthal Ramji Shinde’s magazine, Dnyanodaya. (Maharishi Shinde was a Harijan or “untouchable” and a member of the reformist Prarthana Samaj.)
He did not like the castists of Tamil Nadu using Lord Rama as a symbol of oppression of Aryan conquest.
In year 1873, Jotirao Gavondraw Fule (name as spelled then)- dedicated his book “Slavery” thus:
DEDICATED TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES as a token of admiration for their sublime, disinterested and self-sacrificing devotion in the cause of Negro Slavery; and with an earnest desire, that my countrymen may take their noble example as their guide in the emancipation of their Sudra Brethren from the trammels of Brahmin thraldom.
