ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Narendra Dabholkar

Narendra Dabholkar was a man from India who wanted to help people think critically about what they believe. He thought it was important to question traditional ideas and beliefs in order to make progress and improve people's lives.

Unfortunately, some people didn't like that Dabholkar was encouraging others to think for themselves, and they became very angry at him. They thought he was attacking their cultural and religious beliefs, and they wanted him to stop talking about his ideas.

One day, Dabholkar was walking in his hometown when some people came up to him and shot him. He died from his injuries.

Many people in India were very upset and angry when they heard about Dabholkar's death. They thought it was a terrible thing that someone who was trying to help people face new ideas and think for themselves should be killed.

Even though Dabholkar is no longer alive, people all over the world continue to remember him and his message. They believe that it's important to keep questioning traditional beliefs and ideas in order to make progress and make the world a better place.
