Battle of Koregaon OR Koregaon Bhima battle

It was fought between the British East India Company and the Peshwa's army at Koregaon Bhima on January 1, 1818
Battle of Koregaon ended with the British-led Mahar soldiers defeating the peshwas
History says that 500 Mahar soldiers under the East India Company clashed with a 25,000-strong army of Peshwa Bajirao II.
Why controversy now

Mahars, at that point, were considered an untouchable community, and were not recruited in the army by the peshwas
Despite this, as per the Dalit version of the Koregaon Bhima battle, Mahars approached Peshwa Bajirao II to let them join his army against the British. Their offer was turned down. That is when the Mahars approached the British, who welcomed them into their army.'
The victory was not just of a battle for the Mahars, but a win against caste-based discrimination and oppression itself
In 1851, the British erected a memorial pillar at Koregaon Bhima to honour the soldiers -- mostly Mahars -- who had died in the battle
Since January 1, 1927, Bhimrao Ambedkar started the ritual of holding a commemoration at the site of this pillar, one that is repeated every year.
This year, that commemoration turned violent, for many non-Dalit Marathas don't feel the same way.

It's an text book case of Dalit-Maratha rift

Khordha revolts (Pai ka Rebellion) 1817

Khurda revolt (Paika Rebellion) - Paika Rebellion, an armed uprising against the British East India company in Khurda area of Odisha in 1817.
Bakshi Jagabandhu Bidyadhar the military chief of the King of Khurda led his army of Paikas (a martial race) revolted against British at Barunei near Khurda� forcing the British East India Company forces to retreat.
The revolt had subsequently spread to Ghumsar in Ganjam and Kujang, Kendrapara and Kanika in the undivided Cuttack district.
Historians from Odisha claim the Paika revolt should be acknowledged as the first war of Independence, and not the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857.
Minister of HRD announced that Paika Rebellion will be renamed as “First War Independence”
- NOTE: Battle of Kharda between Nizam and Marathas (1795)
