Thus Spake Dr B R Ambedkar

Dr B R Ambedkar (14 Apr 1891- 6 Dec 1956) jurist, economist, social reformer and political leader who chaired the committee that drafted the Constitution of India.  It was his 134th birth anniversary yesterday 14 April 1891.


 • I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.


• Political tyranny is nothing compared to social tyranny and a reformer, who defies society is a more courageous man than a politician who defies government.


• So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you.


• Men are mortal. So are ideas. An idea needs propagation as much as a plant needs watering otherwise both will wither and die.


•I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.
