Jyotirao Phule first used the word Dalit, even though it is widely believed that Dr. B.R. Ambedkar coined the term.

The term "dalit" was coined by Jyotirao Phule in the 19th century. He used it to refer to the oppressed and marginalized communities in India who were subjected to caste-based discrimination and social exclusion.
