Dinkarrao Javalkar (Marathi: दिनकरराव जवळकर, born - 1898, died - 1932 ) was a social activist and a leader of non-Brahmin movement in Bombay Presidency. He, along with Keshavrao Jedhe, first emerged as a young leader of non-Brahmin movement in Pune, and later gained state-wide reputation for his scathing critic of Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Vishnushastri Chiplunkar in his book Deshache Dushman (Enemies of the Country). Started as a principled follower of Mahatma Phule, he further turned more towards communism and worked to bring communist principles together with teachings of Satyashodhak Samaj.[1]
