One news or the other surfaces everyday about the discrimination of Dalits and other scheduled castes by the caste Hindus and the hierarchically dominant castes. The restless and tense situation that engulfs the society in such happenings stems out of the unnecessary pride that the dominant castes hold and the unjust and unfair privileges they get from the caste system.
Social freedom has remained a necessity in Indian societies for long and attaining that can be achieved only with the relentless upholding of Dr. Ambedkar’s principles and writings.
One can pelt stones at his statues and confine them behind bars. But, there is no confinement for his principles and writings. There might be attempts to rob his revolutionary theory of its substance and convert him into a harmless icon, every attempt at it should be curtailed by propagating his principles and educating the masses about what he stood against.
Remembering Dr. Ambedkar on his death anniversary….
