		Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891-1956) is considered the father of the Indian Constitution and a leading champion of rights for India's "untouchables," those once considered to be of such low caste that their very touch was to be avoided.
		Ambedkar also spent many years in the early part of the last century at Columbia and formed many of his ideas about equality and social justice studying under John Dewey, whose ideas on democracy and education helped shape America's education system.
		Ambedkar, born an "untouchable," overcame prejudice to obtain an education, eventually earning advanced degrees from Columbia and the London School of Economics.

		Ambedkar did not have any faith in Mahatmas and Saints whose main emphasis was not on the equality between man and man. Their philosophy, according to him, was mainly concerned with the relation between man and God.
		Ambedkar, himself a dalit, made efforts to transform the hierarchical structures of Indian society for the restoration of equal rights and justice to the neglected lot by building up a critique from within the structure of Indian society.
		Ambedkar’s tirade against untouchability was a tirade to make these people conscious of their rights, and to prepare them to agitate and win their rights.

		Ambedkar felt that the 'untouchables' had lost their individuality for centuries; it was impossible to wake up such people through speeches and slogans.
		Ambedkar was born in the Mahar caste; he was pushed away as an 'untouchable';his very touch was supposed to make the water unclean; by his genius, by his learning and by his unbending will, he rose high and shaped the Constitution of India, and came to be called the Modern Buddha.
		Ambedkar was born in a caste which was considered as the lowest of the low.

		Ambedkar was, of course, a towering leader of the Untouchables, but he was also much more — a patriot, scholar, thinker and founding father of the Indian Constitution.
		Ambedkar exhorted Buddhists to reject the belief that Buddha was an incarnation of Vishnu.
		Ambedkar’s response to Gandhi was that he desired to treat the symptom and not the cause of the disease since it was not possible to abolish Untouchability without addressing Castes and the Dharma system, which is at the root of it.

	Ambedkar and RSS Ram Puniyani
		When RSS Sarsanghchalak said that Ambedkar supported RSS ideology (16th Oct. 2005), it was not for the first time that a political movement was trying to fabricate lies to co-opt a major thinker and political leader of totally opposite views, for its’ selfish interests.
		Ambedkar did not buckle under any body’s pressure while drafting the constitution as he was committed to the democratic values of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity (community), the one’s which have been enshrined in this book.
		Ambedkar called Hinduism as Brahminic theology and went on to say that he was born a Hindu that was not in his hands, but surely he will not die a Hindu.

	11. Are neo-Buddhists- Hindus? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		According to Dr. Ambedkar, Kapila is the source of one of Buddhism’s most fundamental concepts, causality, and also of the related Buddhist rejection of the belief in a personal Creator of the universe: “His next tenet related to causality-creation and its cause.
		Ambedkar’s electoral record certainly belies the routine description of him as “the leader of the Untouchables”: during his lifetime, most “Harijans” looked to Mahatma Gandhi as their benefactor in spite of Ambedkar’s scathing criticism of the Mahatma’s paternalistic approach.
		Ambedkar opted for Buddhism on the somewhat contrived assumption that the Buddhist Sangha Councils provided a native model for modern parliamentary democracy, and mostly on the wrong assumption that Buddhim was an anti-caste reform movement.

		I became Secretary of the trust controlling the land in 1965 and I decided to start the Dr Ambedkar College as the most fitting memorial: his constant message was, ‘Educate!’ Others wanted a memorial building, and we started efforts to build one in 1972, but we were held back by lack of funds.
		Dr Ambedkar was a wanted to reconstruct the Buddhist tradition so it met the needs of his time.
		It’s unknown in most Buddhist countries, but Dr Ambedkar sympathized with the approach of Col. Olcott, the American Theosophist who a century ago tried to convince Asia’s disparate Buddhists that they were indeed members of the same faith and should agree on common symbols – like the flag – and shared basic tenets.

		Mammotty slid his feet into brown Ambedkar shoes, gave his Ambedkar image a once over in the mirror, had his Ambedkar hair patted down again, and walked -- not with his characteristic swagger, but a heavy, distinguished tread -- to the sets next door.
		Govind Namdeo was to play Ambedkar's father, Mohan Gokhale was to play Gandhi, and Sonali Kulkarni was to be Ramabai (Ambedkar's first wife).

		Or they may be waiting for another Ambedkar or Buddha to arrive and relieve them from their bondage and humiliation.
		r Ambedkar had said, “Our greatest enemy is poverty and not human beings, (Upper Castes Hindus) and if we want progress, we will have to fight poverty” there was a need for people to understand that poverty was their common enemy and not their human beings.

		Ambedkar is not the architect of the Constitution of India.

		His life was an exercise in bringing dignity to vast sections of our society that were insulted and humiliated over the centuries.
		The adulation and respect for Dr. Ambedkar will remain hollow unless we inculcate his teachings in our lives, unless we strive to get education, unless we strive to treat all Indians equally.
