The streets were never ours. They were owned by dandiya/garba players, visarjan revellers, dahi-handi crowd, Holi groups—but on Ambedkar Jayanti every year the streets turned blue.
KCR, who hails from Velama (landlord) community, said every minister who comes to Secretariat should see the statue and think of implementing Ambedkar's principles.
We have reduced Ambedkar into an angry old man who indicted the Hindu social order. We do not expect or allow an oppressed voice to occupy the sacred space of reason.
The Manusmriti said 'women have no right to education'. Ambedkar's fight for their education and property rights shows why he wasn't just a Dalit icon.
The Nirouyeh Vijeh Pasdaran Velayat, or NOPO, was the only force Ali Khamenei trusted.It was founded in 1991 and is more feared than the Revolutionary Guards.
Rating democracies is a tricky business. I am only using the simple metric of who in the Indian subcontinent has had the most peaceful, stable, normal political transitions and continuity.
