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.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
