His family belonged to the Mali caste which was considered the lower caste and untouchables in the then Hindu social structure. His family earned the name of Phule for their work as florists. It was Jyotiba Phule who prepared a solid foundation for the movement of upliftment of depressed and weaker sections of society. He initiated the movement against Upper caste oppression.
