1914 Minority Rights schism

The 1914 Minority Rights schism was a major schism in which thousands of members of Minority Rights relenquished their membership in favor of forming an opposing organization. The schism was the result of ongoing disagreement over armed action, versus political pursuation and non-violent protest. Leading figures of Minority Rights, including the third president Kaiur Kekin-Dunovik, were removed in the early 1910's for their calls to violence. During various talks, the growing pro-action mutiny became more extreme.
Following three months of talks, three new organizations were officially formed; New Minority Power, Minority Struggle, and Saya Ram. Members who joined the new organizations relinquished their Minority Rights membership. An estimated 5.000 members, out of an estimated 16.000 total members left. Minority Struggle merged with Saya Ram after two weeks of membership.
Saya Ram, which was founded by Rokatin Ana Marovik, Bumyr Tera-Gynyvorit and Wyshai Kekin-Dunovik and included members such as Shukolin Maba, Kaiur Kekin-Dunovik and Katura Winro became the dominant Laishanist group around 1928. set up study groups, wrote and published nationalist literature, and eventually took on the members of New Minority Power, who disbanded in 1923. During the Livian War, Saya Ram became RAQWA.
