  • The All India Backward and Minority Communities Employees Federation, abbreviated as BAMCEF is an Ambedkarite and Anti-Brahmanisation organization in India.
  • The origins of BAMCEF lie in the organisation for employees of oppressed communities that was established in 1971 by Kanshi Ram, D. K. Khaparde and Dinabhai. This became BAMCEF at a convention held in Delhi in 1978, with an official launch on 6 December 1978, the death anniversary of B. R. Ambedkar.
  • The ideology of BAMCEF is to fight the rooted system of inequality that divides Indian society and to abolish the caste system.
