The Dalit Shoshit Samaj Sangharsh Samiti, abbreviated as DS-4 or DSSSS (lit. "Dalit and other Exploited Groups Struggle Committee") was founded on 6 December 1981[1] by Kanshi Ram to organise dalits and other oppressed groups of India.[2][3] It was related to BAMCEF.
DS4's slogan was "Brahmin, Thakur, Bania chhor, baaki sab hain DS-4".[4] ("Leaving Brahmins, Thakurs and Banias, everyone else is DS-4.")
The organisation was absorbed by the Bahujan Samaj Party in 1984.[5]
