Dalit organizations in Madhya Pradesh have withdrawn their planned October 15 protest following inflammatory remarks about BR Ambedkar, though tensions persist over installing his statue at the Gwalior High Court. Authorities have implemented extensive security measures, removing inflammatory social media posts and deploying additional personnel to prevent potential caste-based confrontations similar to those seen in 2018.
