You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Dattatreya Balkrishna Kalelkar''' (1 December 1885 – 21 August 1991), popularly known as '''Kaka Kalelkar''', was an Indian independence activist, social reformer, journalist and an eminent follower of the [[Gandhism|philosophy and methods of Mahatma Gandhi]].

==Biography==
Kalelkar was born in [[Satara (city)|Satara]] on 1 December 1885. His family's ancestral village of Kaleli, near [[Sawantwadi]] in [[Maharashtra]], gave him his surname Kalelkar. He matriculated in 1903 and completed B.A. in Philosophy from [[Fergusson College|Fergusson College, Pune]] in 1907. He appeared in the first year examination of LL.B. and joined Ganesh Vidyalaya in Belgaum in 1908. He worked for a while on the editorial staff of a nationalistic Marathi daily named ''Rashtramat'', and then as a teacher at a school named Ganganath Vidyalaya in [[Baroda]] in 1910. In 1912, the British government forcibly closed down the school because of its nationalistic spirit. He traveled to the Himalayas by foot and later joined [[Acharya Kripalani]] on a visit to [[Burma]] ([[Myanmar]]) in 1913. He first met [[Mahatma Gandhi]] in 1915.<ref name=agsi>((cite book|title=અર્વાચીન ગુજરાતી સાહિત્યનો ઈતિહાસ : ગાંધીયુગ અને અનુગાંધીયુગ (History of Modern Gujarati Literature:Gandhi Era and Post-Gandhi Era)|language=gu|last=Brahmabhatt|first=Prasad|publisher=Parshwa Publication|pages=38–51))</ref>

Influenced by Gandhi, he became member of [[Sabarmati Ashram]]. He taught at Rashtriya Shala of Sabarmati Ashram. For some time, he served as the editor of ''Sarwodaya'' periodical which was run from the premises of the Ashram. He was imprisoned several times due to his participation in [[Indian independence movement]]. With Gandhi's encouragement, he played an active role in establishing [[Gujarat Vidyapith]] at [[Ahmedabad]], and served as its vice-chancellor from 1928 to 1935.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/kaka-kalelkar-and-sarojini-nanavati|title=From Kaka Kalelkar and Sarojini Nanavati|date=2016-04-29|website=The Martin Luther King, Jr., Research and Education Institute|language=en|access-date=2019-10-13))</ref> He retired from Gujarat Vidyapith in 1939.<ref name=agsi/> Mahatma Gandhi called him ''Savai Gujarati'', a quarter more than a Gujarati.<ref name="agsi" />

In 1935, Kalelkar became member of ''Rashtabhasha Samiti'', a committee whose objective was to popularize [[Hindi]]-[[Hindustani language|Hindustani]] language as the national language of India. He was active with Gandhi Smarak Nidhi from 1948 to his death.<ref name=agsi/>

He was appointed a member of [[Rajya Sabha]] from 1952 to 1964 and later appointed a president of [[Kalelkar Commission|Backward Classes Commission]] in 1953.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://frontline.thehindu.com/static/html/fl2516/stories/20080815251604400.htm|title=Caste card|last=Chhokar|first=Jagdeep S.|date=August 2008|website=frontline.thehindu.com|access-date=2019-10-13))</ref> He presided over [[Gujarati Sahitya Parishad]] in 1959. He established Gandhi Vidyapith, Vedchhi in 1967 and served as its vice chancellor.<ref name=agsi/>((Clarify|reason=Is this a branch of the institution with same name located in Ahmedabad, mentioned earlier in this section?
