- Kirori Singh Bainsla (12 September 1939 – 31 March 2022) was a Lieutenant Colonel of the Indian Army and in 2007 led a caste protest movement in the state of Rajasthan, demanding reservation as Scheduled Tribe for the Gurjar community in Rajasthan. He headed the Rajasthan Gurjar Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti which led the wave of protests across the state. Col Bainsla is known for his trademark red pagri (turban) and white dhoti and kurta. He is popularly known as पटरीवाले बाबा (Patriwale Baba). Protest marches organised by the movement have at times led to violent clashes with civil authorities and have been accompanied by extensive property damage. In 2007, Bainsla led a protest in which 27 people were killed in clashes with police, and as of May 2008, a total of 43 people had died in such clashes, most of them protesters. Bainsla blamed police for the violence. In May 2015, a similar protest was organised by thousands of gurjars under the leadership of Bainsla. 73 people from the community have been killed in the agitation for reservation. Bainsla was charged for his involvement in the protests. Following one major protest, Rajasthan High Court issued a notice of contempt against him for allegedly violating a previous order to keep the protests within lawful bounds. After 25 days of protest and five days of negotiations, Bainsla's meetings with representatives of the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Vasundhara Raje, resulted in the Gurjar, Gadia Lohar, Banjara, and Rebari, and Gadaria communities being awarded the status of Special Backward Class. The legislation was challenged in the Rajasthan High Court, and benefits under the legislation were restricted. Under Bainsla's leadership, Rajasthani gurjars continued to campaign for special reservation (5%), which finally was provided in February 2019 with the passing of The Rajasthan Backward Classes (Reservation of Seats in Educational Institutes in the State and of Appointments and Posts in Services under the State) Amendment Bill 2019.

- We had a meeting with the minister. We have asked for a written assurance from the government that it will take necessary steps if the bill fails to stand on its feet. Congress had promised a five percent quota in the election manifesto and not a bill. Tomorrow, the government will provide us a draft document after which we will take further decision. Till then, dharna will continue. (en)
