On 27 October 1951, Dr BR Ambedkar addressed voters in Jalandhar during his campaign for the first Lok Sabha election, speaking about political power, safeguards, and the future of the SCs in independent India.
One of the popular arguments of these self-declared Ambedkarites is that Babasaheb sent some Dalit youth abroad for higher education in the hope that they would lead the Dalit liberation movement, but they failed to do so.
While Ambedkar diverged with the RSS on Hinduism, some ideological convergences existed. Yet, his legacy resists appropriation by any ideological camp.
The comparison, which was mentioned in the foreword of a book, drew flak from the DMK. The BJP’s Tamil Nadu unit countered saying Ilaiyaraaja’s voice can’t be throttled.
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.
Delhi CM Kejriwal said the AAP govt will function on the principles of these two freedom fighters and offices won't have pictures even of the chief minister.
The claim that VB-GRAMG provides an employment guarantee is incorrect. The only guarantee is to 'empower' the Centre to allow partial implementation in notified areas alone.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
