The book focuses on B.R. Ambedkar's journey as a young child and how he comes to realise what it means to be identified as a member of the Dalit community.
Visva-Bharati University V-C Bidyut Chakrabarty's comments add to the list of fictitious claims against Constitution that Ambedkar had busted during its drafting.
B.R. Ambedkar met Naval Bhathena at US' Columbia University in 1913, where he was studying on a scholarship given by Baroda's Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Well Mudi is Tagore in reverse and he would write Gitanjali in the following way.
Where mind is with full of fear. and head is always cowering !
Where knowledge is whatsapp and IT cell.
Where the world has been broken up into fragments by narrow religious wall with sharp polarisation.
Where words come out from the falsehood and propaganda;
Where crony capitalism stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of andhbhakti (blind devotion) has lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by RSS into ever-widening persecution of minorities and imposition of hindutva
Into that heaven of Hindutva Rashtra, my Father, let my country awake.
Seems like Vij has unleashed his IT cell on the comments section. At least some of the responses (“original thinkers…)”) and counter responses reflect that. Vij, you too touchy mate??
It is almost impossible expecting people to read & then form an informed opinion. But why is it that no one amongst those who read or claim to read, especially in the mainstream media, call out Modi or anyone else for such chicanery. Why don’t you ask if he is a PM or some huckster, a “madari”, a clown as if he’s come to a costume party. Why don’t you ask him to focus on governance?
What a moronic article from an agenda driven coolie! There is nothing wrong in imbibing the best from every iconic leader, doesn’t mean his every views have to followed to a ‘T’, unless you are in awe of every aspect of him.
The problem with these mentally anglicised/abrahamicised coolies is that they are alienated from the soil of India which is imbibed with ‘Sanatan Dharma’ aka modern Hinduism from eternity. Even Budhism, Jainism and many other such sects are just branches of the same, simultaneously endorsed by ancient rulers.
Just because some Turks and Europeans have been able to rule this land for last 5-6 centuries mainly due to our lack of unity and abundance of traitors (like we see today), and they having spread more poison in society (eg. Macaulay minutes), these coolies want our country ‘Bharath’ to be wiped off its very soul, ‘Sanatanism’. This is where the conflict begins.
The author must be saying, ” Q.E.D” after reading this standard bhakt template of a reply .
Can you even understand the utter nonsense you have written here, not that’s it matters. And clearly it’s no use trying to educate you on what the article is actually about, since you are just doing your job as a IT cell member. Pathetic.
Brahmins are outsiders like Mugals …so relax.
They came after decline of Indus valley civilization
Appropriating icons? Wow! The media, experts, sources and columnists never cease to amaze.
What “icons ” stand for should not be read from texts. They should be felt. Texts and historians generally portray biased views…not by design but by default….all writers can write only what they know. That need not necessarily be true always.
Tail piece: I do not become a communist if I read Karl Max nor a dictator by reading Mein Kampf
Good you are retired, colonel. Your own jaundiced political views are a bane and its wonderful that the apolitical army is rid of your services.
Wit all respects!
Pray what is political about my comment.
One more thing: Personal attacks show the shallowness and ignorance of you views. So you are pardoned.
No hard feelings.

The culture of reading in any socio-political system is confined to a certain section. Rest of the population just take the easy route to make sense out of stimulus. Don’t expect too much and don’t read too much into it. Every politician cannot talk and write like Obama.
The author should be careful in what he wishes for. Imagine if everyone follows his advice and becomes well read and informed. Where will he and his ilk peddling fake news, one sided opinions and outright disinformation go? Better not to kick at what brings in the paycheque and more then two meals a day.
Yet you are here like a poodle ready to lap up his opinion articles again and again. Know your place in the comment section and keep envying people who have a column here. You will be forced to read his next column too because though you dont agree your own political views are not accepted by everybody. Face it.
Indians don’t read. Only Mr. Vij does. Hats off to him.
Excellent!
For a large nation we have exceptionally high numbers of blind believers and unthinking folks. There is hardly anybody who can make a rational argument in the comments section. And this is amongst those who have a higher than usual degree of formal education. The situation among the not so educated can only be worse. So when a pied piper comes along, the entire town dances to his tunes like so many mice.
My compliments to Shivam Vij on this write up.
After RSS was banned by HM Patel , it was forced to accept Indian national flag and authority of Constitution as condition for ban lifting.
The idea of Hindu nation (basically Brahmin rule & supremacy and implementation of Caste system) was between 10 Brahmins when they founded RSS in 1925. After 100 yrs in 2025, BJP will formally declare “Hindu Republic of India”.
2024 will be the last election in India!!
To reach the goal, these ideas of 10 people needed to be spread in every nook and corner. Just like a Pollen is spread by various means, Idea of Hindutva is spread through saluting Tagore, Ambedkar, …… but Once goal is achieved in 2025, New Rules of RSS replaces Secular Constitution ….. Brahmins will come and destroy Ambedkar statue in Parliament complex.
I was surprised to see Valmiki of Hathras voted for BJP since 2014 in all elections!! Now they are having a Good time.

Brilliant! One of the few original thinkers in the Indian journalism space.
Tagore has nothing to do with DANGA DIDI AND AKBARUDDIN.
THE fight is for “SECULAR VOTES” and they are certainly not interested in INDIAN education or poetry .
HENCE MODIJI is ensuring that INDIAN icons and education is not lost in the race for ONE GOD and ONE RELIGION wherein everyone else is infidel.

Maybe the author can take hiiown advice and improve his writing.
The simple answer is better BRAINS, which unfortunately the opponents are not willing to accept.

Narendra Modi thinks that just by growing a long beard he can look like Tagore and an ancient Hindu sage.
