Ambedkar got “Bharatha Ratna” Award. The authors full name was Ramaswamy Venkataraman, he was born in Rajamadam Village in Tanjore disuict, madras presidency. He was an Indian lawyer, Indian independence activist and politician who served as a Union minister.
SUMMARY
1.We can recognise one important character in Balashed Ambedkar i.e, his love about books. He was very eager for know -ledge and reading books throught his life. He was fond of books that we can see by two incidents. One was he purchased 2000 old books in New york and he bought 32 boxes of books at the time of Second Round Table confernce from hondon. For this he was reduced his daily needs.
2. When he was in U.S.A. the Black Americans get freedom by 14th Amend ment of them constitution. He was very much influenced by this and think about Depressed classes in India. He was greatly influenced by the life and work of Mahatma Phule. At that time Phule was working about a classless society and women’s up life. Babasaheb decided to devote all his time and talents to improve the conditions of under privileged people in our country. For this he started newspapers like Mooknayak, Bahishkrit Bharath and Samatha. All these were the authentic voices of the Depressed classes. Hitakarini Sabha was set up by him and the Independent labour party of India became the vehicles of the change. Mean while Gandhiji was pio-neering his reform of Indian society especially the up life of Depressed classes and he called them as Harijans.
3. According to Constitution of India Act 1935 Babasaheb was elected to Bombay legislative Assembly. He made effective Contributions to the debates in the Assembly on a variety of Subjects became the evident to the whole nation.
4. The coustituent Assembly of India afforded Dr. Ambedkar and requested to sarve on the Drafting committee as a chairman, though he was not in the congress. though he was not in the congress. This is because of his forsightedness and objective leadership
5. Dr. Ambedkar as the chairman of the Drafting committee anticipated (expected) every conceivable requirement of the experiences of other nations and the needs of aver society, he raised brick by brick and construated the beautiful constitution to India. now it stands as the fundamen tal Rights. For his support other intellectual persons also contribute their skills. They were Alladi Krishna swamy lyyaar, K.M. Munshi and N.Gopala swami Ayyangar. No doubl that Ambedkar was the pilot of this magnificient task. Dr. Ambedkar was to explain to the Assembly with a combination to tact, fromkness and utmost patience. He had a rese geft of unrovelling the most complicated legal concepts in a lenguage. B.N. Rau had the quality of never giving up the tast was adviser who performed this task matchlessly.
6. Dr. Ambedkar had a clear perception of the three pillars of state such as the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. The Jurisdiction of each should be clear and not to restricted and he was known the importance of the role of citizens. He made some significant observations. The constitution is a fundamental document. This defines the position and power of the three organs of the state. It also defines the powers of the executive and legislature as against the citizens. The purpose of a constitution is to create thr organs of the state and also to limit their aulthority because if no limitation was inposed upon the authority of the organs, these will be complete unjust and bad rule or cruelty may happen.
7. Jawaharlal nehru, the first prime minister of Independent India choose Dr. Ambedkar to be the first law minister. This was a recogrition of Dr. Ambedkar’s skill in the field of law and legislation. It was a tribute to his vision of social justice and infused into the new Indian polity. Trulyit was the tribute to the success of his own campaigns against social injustice. No body could have dreamt that one born in Mahar family would be a law minister, law maker and get the title ‘Modern Manu’
8. Since Independence much progress has been achieved in providing equality of opportunities to the Scheduled costes. This has been closed to them for many centuries being opened. They have come and occupy both central and state govt offices, Judges ambassadors etc… They have acquitted themselves inb mojor positions of resposibility.
9. Much remains yet to be done on the social plane. The Annual reports of the commissiones for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes list several of the law, not with standing the law book and the members have been discriminated against. When the social discrimination is completely eliminated from our society them Ambedkar’s work will be really complete.
10. To achieve social goals and objectioes through constitutional methods, he described the civil disobedience, non – co – operation and satyagraha as “grammar of anarchy”. These methods were used in foreign Govt rule but in a democratic country which is based on free and fair elections should do on people’s consent. If it not, such ogitations invariably result in the loss of lives and public property.
11. 2500 years ago Buddha said about laste Systems in India that the only two clesses of people such that the noble and wholesome second is ignoble and unwholesum. Tamil poetess Avvai proclaimed that the cheritable who give and they are superior on the contrary the misers who do not give are inferior. The great sages and saints reveded the hollowness of ceste system and preached that all the human beings are same and equal, lastes are determined by their characters not by birth.
12. When British ruled our Country. They followed caste distinction because of their benefits, so they followed the policy of “Divide and Rule” mahatma Gandhi and Ambedker deny or opposed the caste system and and proclaim. the oneness of the Hindu community. Gandhiji reminding the duty of higher caster to depressed classes and Ambedker reminding the innate rights to equality. Both of them brought revolution in social thought.
13. Jawaharlal Nehru described Ambedker as “a symbol of revolt” in the lok Sabha when Ambedker was passed away in December 1956. Nehru said that whelter we agreed with him or not in matter but we should appreciate his perseverance and persistance and helped in rousing up of depressed closses. It was sad because such a great soul has passed away.
14. We should hope that the day will come that Ambedker’s dream of sumata become a reality.

- ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರವರಿಗಿದ್ದ ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಕಳಕಳಿ ಮತ್ತು ಮಾನವರ ಮೇಲಿದ್ದ ಪ್ರೀತಿಗಾಗಿ ಸಂವಿಧಾನದ ಅಸೆಂಬ್ಲಿ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಒಂದು ಅವಕಾಶವನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟಿತು. ಅವರು ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ಪಕ್ಷದಲ್ಲಿ ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೂ, ಅವರಿಗಿರುವ ದೂರದರ್ಶಿತ್ವಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಭಾರತೀಯ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ನವರು ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್ ರವರಿಗೆ ಸಂವಿಧಾನ ರಚನಾ ಕಮಿಟಿಯ ಛೇರ್ಮನ್ ಸಂವಿಧಾನ ರಚನಾ ಕಮಿಟಿಯ ಛೇರ್ಮನ್ ಆಗಲು ಒತ್ತಾಯಿಸಿದರು. ಈ ರೀತಿ ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್ ಛೇರ್ಮನ್ ಆದರು.
- ಸಂವಿಧಾನ ರಚನಾ ಸಭೆಯ ಛೇರ್ಮನ್ ಆದ ಮೇಲೆ ಹೊಸ ರಾಜಕೀಯಕ್ಕೆ ಬೇಕಾದ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಸುಧಾರಣೆ ಗಳನ್ನು ಕುರಿತು ಯೋಚಿಸಿದರು. ಇದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಅವರು ಬೇರೆ ಬೇರೆ ದೇಶಗಳ ಮತ್ತು ನಮ್ಮ ದೇಶದ ಅವಶ್ಯಕತೆಗಳನ್ನು ಗಮನಿಸಿ. ಒಂದೊಂದೇ ಹಂತವನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಿದರು. ಈ ರೀತಿ ಅವರು ಅಡಿ ಅಡಿಯಾಗಿ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಿದ ಭವನವೇ ಮುಂದೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಸಂವಿಧಾನದ ಮೂಲಭೂತ ಹಕ್ಕುಗಳಾಯಿತು. ಆ ಕಮಿಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಸಹಕಾರ ನೀಡಲು ಉತ್ತಮೋತ್ತಮ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಗಳಾದ ಅಲ್ಲಾಡಿ ಕೃಷ್ಣಸ್ವಾಮಿ ಅಯ್ಯರ್, ಕೆ.ಎಂ. ಮುನ್ಸಿ, ಎನ್. ಗೋಪಾಲಸ್ವಾಮಿ ಅಯ್ಯಂಗಾರ್ ಇವರೆಲ್ಲ ತಮ್ಮ ತಮ್ಮ ಕೊಡುಗೆಗಳನ್ನು ನೀಡಿ, ಸಂವಿಧಾನ ರಚನೆ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಆದರೆ ಇದರ ಮೂಲ ಹಾಗೂ ಮುಖ್ಯ ಚಾಲಕ ಪೈಲೆಟ್ ಮಾತ್ರ ಡಾ॥ ಬಿ.ಆರ್. ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್ ಎಂದು ನಿರ್ವಿವಾದವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳಬಹುದು. ಸಂವಿಧಾನದ ಅಂಶಗಳನ್ನು ತಮ್ಮ ಚಾತುರದಿಂದ ತಾಳ್ಮೆಯಿಂದ, ಮುಚ್ಚುಮರೆಯಿಲ್ಲದೆ ನಿರರ್ಗಳವಾಗಿ ಮಂಡಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅದರ ಅರ್ಥ, ಉದ್ದೇಶ, ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿ ಇವುಗಳೆಲ್ಲವನ್ನು ಸಮರ್ಥವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಕಾನೂನಿನ ಕ್ಲಿಷ್ಟವಾದ ವಿಷಯಗಳನ್ನು ಜನಸಾಮಾನ್ಯರೂ, ಸಹ ಅರ್ಥಮಾಡಿ ಕೊಳ್ಳುವಂತಹ ಸರಳವಾದ ಸುಲಭ, ಭಾಷೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ತಿಳಿಸುವ ಅಸಾಧಾರಣ ಗುಣ ಅವರಲ್ಲಿತ್ತು. ಹಿಡಿದ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಏನೇ ಕಷ್ಟ ಬಂದರೂ ಬಿಡದ ಇವರ ಗುಣ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಿತು. ಸಂವಿಧಾನದ ಸಲಹೆಗಾರರಾದ ಬಿ.ಎನ್. ರಾವ್ರವರು ಈ ಅಸಾಧಾರಣ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಹೋಲಿಸಲಾಗದಂತೆ ಸಮರ್ಥವಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿದರು.
- ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರರಿಗೆ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಮೂರು ಮುಖ್ಯ ಸ್ತಂಭಗಳಾದ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಂಗ, ಆಡಳಿತಾಂಗ, ಶಾಸಕಾಂಗ ಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಿಚ್ಚಳವಾದ ನಿಲುವಿತ್ತು. ಇವುಗಳು ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ಕರ್ತವ್ಯ ನಿರ್ವಹಿ ಸಲು ಕಾನೂನು ಅಡ್ಡ ಬರಬಾರದು. ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳ ಪಾತ್ರಗಳ ಪ್ರಾಮುಖ್ಯತೆಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆಯೂ ಅರಿವಿತ್ತು. ಅವರ ಈ ಕೆಳಗಿನ ಹೇಳಿಕೆ ಗಮನಾರ್ಹ ವಾದುದು. ಸಂವಿಧಾನ ಮೂಲಭೂತವಾದ ಅಂಗ. ಇದು ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಶಾಸಕಾಂಗ, ಆಡಳಿತಾಂಗ ಹಾಗೂ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಂಗದ ಸ್ಥಾನ ಮತ್ತು ಅಧಿಕಾರವನ್ನು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ಸೂಚಿಸುವಂತಿರಬೇಕು. ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಇವುಗಳ ಅಧಿಕಾರ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಹೇಗಿರಬೇಕು ಎಂಬುದು ಗೊತ್ತಾಗುವಂತಿರಬೇಕು, ಸಂವಿಧಾನವು ಅಂಗಗಳ ರಚನೆಯನು, ಮಾಡಿ ಅದರ ಮಿತಿ ಅಥವಾ ಪರಿಮಿತಿಯನ್ನು ಸಹ ಸೂಚಿಸಬೇಕು. ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಅದರಿಂದ ಹಿಂಸೆ ಅಥವಾ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ದಬ್ಬಾಳಿಕೆ ಉಂಟಾಗಬಹುದು.
- ಜವಹರಲಾಲ್ ನೆಹರೂರವರು ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರನ್ನು ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರ ಭಾರತದ ಮೊದಲನೆಯ ಕಾನೂನು ಮಂತ್ರಿಯಾಗಿ ಆಯ್ಕೆ ಮಾಡಿದರು. ಇದು ಡಾ| ಬಿ.ಆರ್. ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್ರವರ ನೈಪುಣ್ಯತೆಗೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕ ಕಾಣಿಕೆ ಎನ್ನಬಹುದು. ಅವರಿಗೆ ಕಾನೂನು, ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ನ್ಯಾಯ ಇವುಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಜ್ಞಾನವಿತ್ತು. ಎಲ್ಲಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ಅವರು ಕೈಗೊಂಡ ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ನ್ಯಾಯ ಸಮರದ ವಿಜಯವೂ ಸೇರಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿತು. ಮೆಹರ್ ಜನಾಂಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ ಒಬ್ಬ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ ಒಂದು ದಿನ ಇಡೀ ದೇಶಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾನೂನು ಮಂತ್ರಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಕಾನೂನನ್ನು ಮಾಡುವ ಅರ್ಹತೆಗಳಿಸಿ ‘ಆಧುನಿಕ ಮನು’ ಎಂಬ ಕೀರ್ತಿಗೆ ಪಾತ್ರನಾಗುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಎಂದು ಯಾರಾದರೂ ಯೋಚಿಸಬಹುದಿತ್ತೇ?
- ಭಾರತಕ್ಕೆ ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರ ಬಂದಾಗಿನಿಂದ ಪರಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಜಾತಿಯವರಿಗೆ ಸಮಾನ ಅವಕಾಶಗಳನ್ನು ಕೊಡುತ್ತಾ ಬಂದಿದೆ. ಅವರು ಬಹಳಷ್ಟು ಮುಂದುವರಿದಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಶತಶತಮಾನಗಳಿಂದ ಅವಕಾಶಗಳ ಬಾಗಿಲು ಮುಚ್ಚಿ ಹೋಗಿದ್ದುದು ನಂತರ ತೆರೆದಂತಾಗಿದೆ. ಈಗ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಕಾನೂನಿನ ಅಡೆತಡೆಗಳಿಲ್ಲ. ಅವರು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಉನ್ನತ ಹುದ್ದೆ ಗಳಾದ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಹಾಗೂ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರಮಟ್ಟದಲ್ಲಿ ನ್ಯಾಯಧೀಶರು, ರಾಯಬಾರಿಗಳು, ಗವರ್ನರ್ ಗಳು ಹೀಗೆ ಯಾವ ಹುದ್ದೆಗೆ ಬೇಕಾದರೂ ಸ್ಪರ್ಧಿಸಿ, ಪಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬಹುದು. ಹೀಗೆ ಅವರು ಆ ಸ್ಥಾನಗಳನ್ನು ಪಡೆದು. ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿಯುತ ಸೇವೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಬಹುದು.
- ಆದರೂ ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಸ್ತರದಲ್ಲಿ ಇನ್ನೂ ಮಾಡಬೇಕಾದುದಿದೆ. ಪರಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಜಾತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಪರಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ವರ್ಗದ ವಾರ್ಷಿಕ ವರದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾನೂನನ್ನು ಅನುಷ್ಠಾನಗೊಳಿಸದಿ ರುವುದು ಕಂಡುಬರುತ್ತದೆ. ಬಾಬಾಸಾಹೇಬ್ ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ ಕೆಲಸ ಸಿದ್ಧಿಯಾಗಬೇಕಾದರೆ ನಿಜಜೀವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಸಮಾನತೆಯನ್ನು ತೊಲಗಿಸಬೇಕು
- 10 ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಉದ್ದೇಶ ಅಥವಾ ಗುರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಸಾಧಿಸಬೇಕಾದರೆ ಸಂವಿಧಾನದ ನೀತಿಯನ್ನು ಅನುಸರಿಸ ಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್ ಒತ್ತಿ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ಒಂದು ಸಲ ಅವರು ಅಸಹಕಾರ ಚಳುವಳಿ ಸತ್ಯಾಗ್ರಹ, ಸಿವಿಲ್ ಡಿಸ್ಒಬಿಡೀಯನ್ಸ್ ಇವೆಲ್ಲಾ ಯಾವುದೇ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಅಥವಾ ಸಂವಿಧಾನಾತ್ಮಕ ಕ್ರಮದಲ್ಲಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿರುವುದನ್ನು ಗಮನಿಸಬಹುದು. ಆದರೆ ಇವೆಲ್ಲಾ ಹೊರದೇಶದವರು ಆಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ. ಅವರನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿಭಟಿಸುವ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಒಟ್ಟಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದು. ಆದರೆ ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರ ಭಾರತದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದಕ್ಕೆಲ್ಲಾ ಜನರ ಒಪ್ಪಿಗೆ ಅಗತ್ಯ. ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಇದು ಸರ್ವಾಧಿಕಾರ ಎನಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತದೆ. ಪ್ರಜಾಪ್ರಭುತ್ವದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದು ಮುಕ್ತ ಹಾಗೂ ಪಾರದರ್ಶಕ ಚುನಾವಣೆಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ನಡೆಯಬೇಕು. ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಗಲಭೆಗಳು ಉಂಟಾಗಿ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಜೀವನಕ್ಕೆ, ಆಸ್ತಿಪಾಸ್ತಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಹಾನಿಯುಂಟಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.
- ಸುಮಾರು 2500 ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆ ಬುದ್ದನು ಜಾತಿ ಪದ್ಧತಿಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಹೇಳಿರುವುದು- ಜಗತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಎರಡೇ ಜಾತಿ ಒಂದು ಉನ್ನತ ಹಾಗೂ ಪರಿಪೂರ್ಣ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಕೆಳಮಟ್ಟದ ಅಪರಿಪೂರ್ಣ. ಅದೇ ರೀತಿ ತಮಿಳು ಕವಿಯಿತ್ತಿಯಾದ ಆವೈಯವರ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಇರುವುದು ಎರಡೇ ಜಾತಿ, ಒಂದು ಉನ್ನತ, ದಾನ ಧರ್ಮ ಮಾಡುವುದು. ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಜಾತಿ ತೊಂದರೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕಷ್ಟಪಡುವವರು ಎಂದರೆ ಕೆಳಮಟ್ಟದವರು. ಭಾರತದ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಇತಿಹಾಸವನ್ನು ಗಮನಿಸಿ ನೋಡಿದಾಗ ಸಾಧುಸಂತರು ಮಹಾತ್ಮರು ಜಾತಿ ಪದ್ಧತಿಯ ಟೊಳ್ಳುತನವನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. “ಮನುಷ್ಯರೆಲ್ಲಾ ಒಂದೇ; ಹುಟ್ಟಿನಿಂದ ಜಾತಿಯ ನಿರ್ಧಾರವಲ್ಲ. ಗುಣದಿಂದ ಎಂದು ಸಾರಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
- ಬ್ರಿಟಿಷರು ಆಡಳಿತ ನಡೆಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾಗ, ತಮ್ಮ ಅನುಕೂಲಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಮತ್ತು ಲಾಭಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ‘ಒಡೆದು ಆಳುವ’ ನೀತಿಯನ್ನು ಅನುಸರಿಸಿದರು. ಆಗ ಜಾತಿ ಪದ್ಧತಿಗೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಪುರಸ್ಕಾರ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿತ್ತು. ನಮ್ಮ ಕಾಲದ ಇಬ್ಬರು ಭಾರತೀಯರು ಈ ವಿಷಯದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಬಹಳಷ್ಟು ಶ್ರಮಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರು ಗಾಂಧೀಜಿ ಮತ್ತು ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್. ಅವರಿಬ್ಬರೂ ಜಾತಿಪದ್ಧತಿಯನ್ನು ತಿರಸ್ಕರಿಸಿ, ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಒಂದು ಎಂದು ಸಾರಿದರು. ಗಾಂಧೀಜಿ ಉಚ್ಛ ಜಾತಿ ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿದ ಜನರಿಗೆ, ಕೆಳಜಾತಿಯವರಿಗೆ ಅವರು ಮಾಡಬೇಕಾದ ಕರ್ತವ್ಯದ ಅರಿವು ಮೂಡಿಸಿದರು. ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್ ಅದೇ ರೀತಿ ಸಮಾನತೆಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಉಚ್ಚ ಮತ್ತು ಶಕ್ತಿಪೂರ್ಣ ಜಾತಿಯವರಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿದರು. ಒಬ್ಬರು ಅವರ ಕರ್ತವ್ಯದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದರೆ, ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬರು ಹಕ್ಕಿನ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿಕೊಟ್ಟು, ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕವಾಗಿ ನಿಜವಾದ ಕ್ರಾಂತಿಯನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
- ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್ 1956ರ ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಕೊನೆಯುಸಿರನ್ನೆಳೆದಾಗ, ಜವಹರಲಾಲ್ ಲೋಕಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ‘ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್ ಕ್ರಾಂತಿಯ ಪ್ರತೀಕ’ ಎಂದು ಪ್ರತಿಕ್ರಿಯಿಸಿದರು. ಲೇಖಕರ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ನಾವು ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರವರನ್ನು ಒಪ್ಪಲಿ ಅಥವಾ ಒಪ್ಪದಿರಲಿ, ಅವರು ತೋರಿಸಿದ ದೃಢ ಹಾಗೂ ಅವಿರತ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ, ವಿಘ್ನಗಳನ್ನು ಲೆಕ್ಕಿಸದೆ ಮುಂದೆ ಹೋಗುವ ಗುಣ ಇವುಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರಶಂಸಿಲೇಬೇಕು. ಅವರ ಪ್ರತಿಭಟನೆ ತೊಂದರೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟರೂ ಸಹ, ಇದನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಅವರು ಪರಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಜಾತಿಯವರಿಗಾಗಿ ಹೋರಾಡಿದ್ದು, ಪರಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಜಾತಿಯವರು ಬಹಳ ಕಾಲ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಅವಕಾಶಗಳಿಂದ ವಂಚಿತರಾಗಿದ್ದರು. ಇಂತಹವರ ಉದ್ಧಾರಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಶ್ರಮಿಸಿದ ಅವರ ನಾಯಕ ಇಂದು ನಮ್ಮನ್ನಗಲಿ ಹೋಗಿರುವುದು ವಿಷಾಧನೀಯ ಎಂದು ತಮ್ಮ
- ಬಹಳ ಬೇಗನೇ ಬಾಬಾ ಸಾಹೇಬ್ ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್ರವರ ಸಮತಾವಾದದ ಕನಸು ನನಸಾಗುವುದರಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವ ಸಂಶಯವೂ ಇಲ್ಲ.
