Manoj Raosaheb Jarange (born 1 August 1982)[1] also known as Manoj Jarange Patil is an Indian Maratha quota reservation activist based in the state of Maharashtra, India.[2]

Early life

Jarange, born in Maratha caste, is originally from the Mantori village of Shirur Kasar tehsil in Beed district, settled in Shahgad.[3] He joined the Maratha reservation movement 15 years ago. Later, he founded the Shivba Sanghatana (English translation: Shivaji organisation) to organize protests.[4] [5]

Activism

Jarange gained attention during a hunger strike in September 2023 at Ataravali-Sarate village.[6]

He led a protest march, part of the Maratha Kranti Morcha and Sakal Maratha Samaj, from his hometown in Jalna, originally intended for Azad Maidan in South Mumbai starting 26 January 2024. The aim was to advocate for expanding Kunbi Other Backward Class certification to Marathas, enabling them to access OBC benefits, including a 27 percent reservation in government jobs and education in the state.[7] In continuation of the protest, Jarange-Patil began fasting in Vashi, Navi Mumbai. But it ended on January 27, 2024, when Chief Minister of Maharashtra Eknath Shinde assured that the Maratha community would receive OBC benefits until securing a reservation.[8]
