Bharat Ratna –Icon of depressed—Dr Ambedkar Part 1

The Thoughts and Legacy of Baba Sahib Ambedkar

Hundreds of books are written on thoughts, thinking and views of Dr Ambedkar at the same time Babashaib also wrote several books out of which “Annihilation of Cast” is worth reading, in this book dr Ambedakar has expressed his views on Hinduism and Hindu Nation, On Muslim and Christian missionaries, On the Tolerance of Hindus, On Vedic religion and On Eating beef etc. Nation will calibrate 126th birth anniversary on 14th April,2017.

Recently Dr Ambedkar is perhaps India’s leading post-modern icon. Every political party especially ruling party at the center and in most of the states seems to have large interest in trying to appropriate Babashaib-it need to fill it sparsely populated shelf of national heroes , push its Hindu unity project that include Dalit and depressed class of society. Let us view the thoughts of him. It seems tht Dr Ambedkr’s thoughts re not in line with RSS and few politicl parties..

On the tolerance of Hindus—-

It is being said that Hindus are very tolerant person; however in my opinion this is not true but only misconception. In my view Hindus on many occasions can be intolerant and if on some occasion they are tolerant this is due the fact that they are too weak to oppose or may be too indifferent to opposed Ambedkar further says that this indifference of the Hindus has become a part of their nature that Hindus will quite meekly and silently tolerate an insult as well as a wrong —with the Hindus GODS all forbearing, It is not very difficult to imagine the pitiable condition of the wronged and the oppressed among the Hindus. (This quotes is from Dr Ambedakar’s book “Annihilation of Casts”)
