In today's India almost 30% of Indian Population is Ambedkarite, his struggle for the rights of deprived community,specially Mahars & then his contribution in drafting the constitution of India drew a huge attention of educated youths especially the dalits.
First let's discuss his contribution to our great Nation.
The biggest contribution ambedkar made towards a well compiled constitution having great flexibility to be relevant with time & every inch of vast nation as India.
Only few knows, but his contribution towards framing the economic structure is also immense.
He worked for the rights of marginalised & voiced the weakest section of society in constitution assembly.
But why almost 70% of Indian Population doesn't connect themselves with his struggle,his ideology & his ideas is a biggest question you will get answer today in this blog.
1) CASTE/COMMUNITY BEFORE NATION- Ambedkar made it quite clear again & again that if he have to choose between his community and Nation he will choose his community as published by Columbia University quoting him during the debate over congress's plan to leave the government.
2)DIVIDING INDIANS as ARYANS vs NON-ARYANS - Many People wonder why Ambedkar choose Nagpur for his religious conversion not puna or any other city, the reason lies in his Aryans vs Non-Aryans theory. He believes Upper Caste citizens as outsiders who are Aryans & Aryans plundered Non-Aryans Mulniwasi people and enslaved them,Nag people from Nagpur fought Aryans bravely and nagpur is a symbol of resistance against aryans. one Nag man escaped this brutality with the help of August muni & later he joined Gautam Buddha & spread buddhism, this fact confirmed by Columbia University documents.
3) AMBEDKAR-JINNAH-BRITISH BONHOMIE - Indian Independence struggle history hardly mention any punishment or ill-treatment to B.R Ambedkar despite the fact that the he is involved in this for a long time, the reason behind this fact that Ambedkar is more close to Britishers & Muslim league than congress or Gandhi.
Ambedkar was critical of British rule but at every single step of Independence struggle he helped Britishers like jinnah.
To gain seperate electorate he even moved one step ahead in round table conference to claim that he & his ancestors are different from those who are fighting bristishers in India & Dalits always helped bristisher against Indian independence struggle.
He gave example of Bhima-koregaon ,when mahars the untouchables foughts with Britishers against Peshwa army, dusadhs the untouchables helped british army in battle of palassy against Indian forces, he gave example from the very first battle to the last battle to made his point & britishers aggred and granted him seperate electorate. His original words quoted by the print from london round table conference library archives.
Not only he supported britishers but also his relationship with mohmad ali jinnah was very cordial and close to that of congress or it's leaders.
He along with jinnah felt that after Independence India become hindu rastra and it will be difficult for Dalits to get thier rights even after reservation & only seperate electorate and rule by self would elevate the condition of untouchables like jinnah felt for muslims.
He supported jinnah in his bycott against Gandhi's salt march,celebrated Day of deliverence with jinnah against congress.
4) AGAINST AKHAND BHARAT - The idea for which millions of Indians sacrificed thier lives for centuries. Ambedkar was against the idea of AKHAND Bharat, not only he supported jinnah, (even he wasn't happy with partition but called it only option to avoid the worst in reference of Hindu domanion India after Independence ) but also extended his support for demand of seperate Dravidian land by Periyar (Periyar broke many hindu gods statues and defaced them,took a march with naked poster of women portraited as hindu godess) As Dravidians don't consider themselves a hindu.
5) NEVER RECOGNISED THE SACRIFICE MADE BY OTHER SECTIONS- Ambedkar never recognised the sacrifice made my a large section of society for the Independence struggle, even mocks the Independence movement along with Britishers that Indian democracy will not work & will collapse withing years after British leave Nation.
He never trusted National leaders like Gandhi,Nehru,Maulana Kalam, Jagjivan Ram,Pt Madan Mohan Malviya calling them Hindu leaders.
6) AGAINST CULTURAL REJUVENATION- He always believed that Indian culture is inferior to the western one. He never endorsed rejuvenation of Indian culture & advocated change towards western culture which he believes is more scientific, reasonable, equal & modern.
He never appreciated our great civilization scientific achievements like discover of Zero, Trigonometry, Exact position of Solar system constituents, surgery, metallurgical advancements & many more.
His idea of Indian culture limited to the discrimination to the untouchables by caste Hindus. He never attempted to find out the roots of this discrimination & ways to erase it as did by Gandhi, Dayanand Saraswati, Vivekanand, Tagore,Raja Ram Mohan Roy & Great leaders.
7) FAILLED TO UNDERSTAND CASTISM AS A GIMMICK - He badly failled to understand caste discrimination in our society was nothing but a gimmick by castist to secure thier position of superiority in society & legitimite thier rule on others.
He failled to recognise that the books he read like manusmruti,puranas & vedas to understand the Hindu society is itself the work of years of modification by the a section of society to legitimate thier superiority in society. They aren't in original form they were written.
I will write a separate blog on how Indian cultural textbooks are manupulated for one's favour, ignoring the yogic egalitarian society & belief of serving every human equal as service to god.
8) ANTI-HINDU - Ambedkar always belives hindu religion sole responsible for all the miseries untouchables faced for decades.
He called Hindu religion as a multi-storey building without ladders & people living on ground floor (Untouchables) were born to serve other Castes.
Ambedkar even calls Hindu dharma a Hell & belives only after leaving this hell untouchables could get thier rights.
Even He didn't oppose congress for its political cause or he wasn't against Indian Independence struggle but he was solely against Hinduism and opposed congress and it's independence struggle because Congress is led mostly by Hindu faith leaders.
He brings Hindu code bill for the rights of Hindu women, which was accepted after some resistance from hindu community, Ambedkar resigned in his cabinet minister berth in protest of congress not extended enough support to impose hindu code bill on hindus.
Congess argues to dicuss this bill more extensively with hindu community before imposing this law.
Ironically, Ambedkar argued for but never showed such enthusiasm for uniform civil code or for the rights of Muslim or Christian women.
