Arjak Sangh

[2] The Sangh was established in Lucknow by Ramswaroop Verma, the former Finance Minister under the Government of Uttar Pradesh, who was known for his work against Brahminism and for his championing the cause of Lower Castes.

Through its publications like Achhoto Ki Samasya Aur Samadhan, Niradar Kaise Mite (transl: The conundrums of Untouchables and its solution, how to end the disrespect ?

The followers of Sangh believe that the ceremonies like Mrityu Bhoj are the way to "extract cash and kind" from the Jajman (doners), by the Brahmins, who usually officiate the last rituals for the contentment of the soul of the deceased.

In the Dvija tradition or the Brahminism, the food fest is organised till the 13th day of the death (also called Terahwi), which causes financial burden for the family of deceased.

In fact Arjak Sangh workers have openly burned copies of Tulsi Ramayana to protest against its perceived "brahmin-supremacist" and "anti-constitutional" content.
