Arige Ramaswamy

Arige Ramaswamy (born in Secunderabad, Andhra Pradesh in India) was a noted social activist and Dalit leader. He worked with Bhagya Reddy Verma, S. Venkat Rao and other activists, who organized the Dalits in the early 20th century. Recognising the backwardness of the Madiga, he formed the Arundhatiya Association for their welfare.

Ramaswamy married a Madiga boy with a Mala girl, which was opposed by the community members.
