Explanation:

Kanshi Ram (1934-2006) was a driving force behind the empowerment of Bahujan communities and the visionary founder of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). Departing from his central government position, he dedicated himself to social and political causes, establishing the BAMCEF, Dalit Shoshit Samaj Sangharsh Samiti (DS-4), and ultimately, the Bahujan Samaj Party in 1984.

In August 1990, the National Front government made the crucial choice to put into effect one of the recommendations put forth by the Mandal Commission.

The demise of Rajiv Gandhi in May 1991 brought about a shift in the leadership of the Congress party. His assassination occurred during an election campaign tour in Tamil Nadu and was attributed to a Sri Lankan Tamil associated with the LTTE.

In February-March 2002, large-scale violence against Muslims took place in Gujarat.
