Karpoori Thakur has been awarded Bharat Ratna posthumously, on the eve of his birth centenary. He played an active role in the Indian freedom struggle and participated in the Quit India Movement. He was widely known for championing the cause of the backward classes and was called a “Jannayak” or people's hero. During his term as Bihar’s Chief Minister, he introduced a ban on alcohol. He also implemented the recommendations of the Mungeri Lal Commission in 1978, which introduced quotas for backward classes in the state. This commission paved the way for the Mandal Commission.
