Everything you need to know about Dr. B. R. Ambedkar: news, reviews, in-depth analysis, opinion and more
Where the formation of the Indian constitution ends starts the tale of the legend behind its creation- the person is nobody but the great preacher of Indian unity and integrity Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. Ambedkar is an exceptional child of Bharatmata always bending towards the unfortunate and deprived sons and daughters of the mother. This great son of the soil was born of a lower caste family in the then central province now Madhya Pradesh of the country. Ambedkar was educated at prestigious London school of Economics, Columbia University in various subjects with specialization in Law, Economics and Sociology thus rising as one of the erudite scholar of the time. Being a highly literate person Ambedkar could understand the society well from various stand points and could know the life style of man which compelled and made him worried to bring a transition in the lifestyle of man. Patriotic feeling in this man dragged him towards the civil disobedience movement for the freedom of India. Being inspired by the call of Mahatma Gandhi, Ambedkar led the movement in many corners of this big nation. The major credit of this worthy son of the soil lies after India got Independence in the formation of Indian constitution. But his role in the freedom movement for many times is not taken into account because the worth of this saint lies in the drafting committee of the Indian constitution. Ambedkar is the founding father of Indian constitution; though it is only an imitation of England Constitution, still his participation in forming this government document is much hyped. Ambedkar is considered as the propagator of equality and integrity of Indian society for he had well observed the differences between the castes and classes in it. He could accurately know every type of differences in each field of life the lower caste and class people are coming across. This made him disappointed. Thus as a solution of this Dr. Ambedkar while drafting the constitution of India made special provisions for these people in order to mitigate their lower status and position in the society. Ambedkar started the provision of reservation for these people so that equilibrium could be brought between the lower and upper or advanced castes. These particular steps for the advancement of the backward castes in India is the greatest contribution of Dr. Ambedkar to the large populace of the nation for which he will always be worshipped by the patriots and all people of India.

But we did not give her any such opportunity. So, now she is manufacturing non-issues on her own," said Siddiqui. "She is trying to play the victim. We are not going to bite her nor are we going to harm the parks, we also respect the Dalit leaders and ideologues," he added. Siddiqui further said that strict action would be initiated with regard to the corruption involved in the construction of parks. The important thing though is if for the construction of parks, scams were committed, and if money of the poor Dalits, the poor and downtrodden was wasted and swindled then action will be taken against the culprits. Nothing would be done to the statues," he added.
