B. R. Ambedkar started a
satyagraha demanding the cancellation of the
Poona Pact in Pune on 18 July 1946, because the
Cabinet Mission to India rejected the independent political existence of
untouchables in 1946. This is called 'Pune Satyagraha'. For support this Satyagraha, student Kamble wrote an article "Dalit Satyagrahinchi Kaifiyat" (Pleading of the Dalit Satyagrahies) in
Kirloskar, a leading journal at that time. This article was published in the November 1946 issue of
Kirloskar. After that, Ambedkar himself read the article and appointed him as editor of
Janata weekly. From 1948 to 1954, Kamble served as the editor of the
Janata weekly. From 1956 to 1958, he served as the editor of the
Prabuddha Bharata weekly. From 1959 to 1975, he served as the editor of the
Republic weekly. The
Janata and the
Prabuddha Bharat were started by Ambedkar. Kamble was a follower of Ambedkar and due to his influence, converted to
Buddhism in 1956. During 1956–57, he served as a Professor of
Constitutional Law in
Siddharth College of Law, Mumbai. == Political career ==
