Our tribute to Dr Ambedkar on his parinirvan divas. I am grateful to him for lighting our life through his thoughts and actions. Strongly standing against all odds of his time, internal as well externally. However, his determination was never compromised for initiate the chapter of social justice to the most disadvantage social groups. His ideas and thoughts are like ocean, we will get more things on each drive in the ocean of his work. People only understand him as leader, who fought against untouchability but his contributions are immense in all sphere of our nation, his work for constitution is known, he contributed towards the monetary policy of our country, labor rights, rights of women, he also personally involved to build a robust educational institution.

The role of Ambedkar in nation building process in India is remarkable. Ambedkar played a decisive role in laying the foundation of India as a nation by outlining the social, political and economic structure and principles of governance. He played an important role in bringing national unity and integration through the introduction of principles such as federal polity with uniformity in all basic matters including the existence of a unitary state, common rights, uniform civil and criminal law, single citizenship, unitary judicial system, common civil code and many more.

Over a period of nearly forty years of academically, socially, and politically extremely active life, Dr Ambedkar contributed significantly in the evolution and India as Nation. There was hardly any issue that arose between 1919 to 1956, which Dr Ambedkar did not write, and helped to find solution, and developed policies, when in power.

Dr Ambedkar was also involved in the country’s economic development and planning and contributed both through writing and policy formulation, when he was Minister of labor in 1942 to 1946. Dr Ambedkar argued for an important place to the “labour” and the “depressed classes” in the planned economic development of the country. He favored the growth, which will be pro-poor. In Dr Ambedkar’s view, the Schedule Castes and depressed classes needed to be treated as a separate entity for planning, and this provision was incorporated in the Plan objective.

It been always fascinating to read with writings of Baba Shahab. When Ambedkar said “On 26th January 1950 India would be a democratic country in the sense that India would then have a government of the people, by the people and for the people”. At the same time, Dr. B R Ambedkar also raised the issues of the fulfillment of economic and social objectives in the country for all.

Dr. Ambedkar vehemently criticized idea of hero worship in India. Dr. B R Ambedkar stated, “Bhakti in a religion may be a road to the salvation of soul, but in politics Bhakti or hero worship is a road to degradation and to the eventual dictatorship”.

He is one my teacher, with whom I learned love ❤️ and idea of social justice. The leaning will be continue by understanding his works more and more . One of my favorite quotation of Baba Shaheb “Democracy is not merely a form of Government. It is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience. It is essentially an attitude of respect and reverence towards our fellow citizen” Jai Bhim..

  Couple of weeks ago, I went to nearby electric repair shop in my neighborhood, because my emergency light is not working. The technician, looked the all parts of light carefully, meantime I was trying to understand his situation during lockdown, he shared in those days his shop was completely shut down like others, I hesitantly, inquired about his livelihood sources and how he had managed his day to day expense? He shared, sir there was no option but I had to sell fruits in the streets, and that was the only source of survival for him and his family, after unlocking he is only able to earn around 30% of income, what he used to earn before Pandemic. After almost 20 minutes, he said he will not able to repair my light.

With his gesture and dedication, I was thoroughly impressed....

Why I Believe Birsa Munda Remains Relevant For Indigenous Identity Around The World(15 November 1875 – 9 June 1900)

Birsa Munda was an indigenous leader and a folk hero, belonging to the Munda tribe who was behind the Millenarian movement that arose in Jharkhand during the British Raj. This made him an important figure in the history of the Indian independence movement. Birsa Munda is named with great respect as one of the freedom fighters in the Indian struggle for independence against British colonialism. His achievements in the freedom struggle became even greater considering he accomplished this before he turned 25. Birsa’s devotion to his people was such that he was almost revered as God by his followers. By the time he was in his 20s, his activities in present-day Jharkhand had already begun to worry the British establishment to a considerable extent. He was finally caught by the British on February 3, 1900, when he was only 25 years old. He died soon afterwards under mysterious circumstances on June 9, 1900, at Ranchi Jail. Indigenous people from the rest of Asia or Africa hav...

He was not only my teacher but mentor, guide, and one of my great admirers, for what I have been doing after finishing my study? That was his personality, he was never hesitant to give respect and dignity, no matter who are you? What kind of relationship is with him? My personal connection with him was far before I meet him personally, I am basically from rural India, where I studied till my graduation, we had kind of serious news reading habit in our family, and my father also guided us to read the editorial pages including writing on social or political issues. Those days, Rizwan Sb, used to write for Hindustan, Hindi, since, I was a regular reader, that was interesting for me to understand the social-political aspect of the marginalized social group on which he usually writes. When I got admission in MA- History in 2003 at Jamia Millia Islamia, that was transformative and dream comes true for me to study at Central University, at the same time I was very nervous in the Capital o...
