THE FATHER OF ALL FEMINISTS ; DR. B.R..AMBEDKAR WAS THE FIRST PERSON WHO STOOD FOR THE EMANCIPATION AND EMPOWERMENT OF INDIA WOMEN'S : I see, so called Indian feminists never recognise Dr.B.R.Ambedkar as a women liberator. Dr.Ambedkar who alone, fought to get our parliament to pass the Hindu code bill, which would have granted equal rights to Hindu  woman denied to them by tradition and  religious practices. The Hindu Code Bill was blocked by upper caste brahmins and Hindu extremists and the right wing. Baba Saheb Ambedkar was the great liberator of Indian womanhood. He designed the Hindu Code Bill to liberate Hindu woman. Dr.Ambedkar resigned from the Cabinet as the first Law Minister of independent India for the cause of women. That was his unique sacrifice for  the women. Dr.Ambedkar was asking maternity for every women not only for dalit women's. Equal rights for every women not only for dalit women's. Though the Constitution has given equal rights to...

Dr.Ambedkar was greatest feminist   Happy women’s day .. Dr B R Ambedkar done vast role for women, But None of the women organization talks about the contribution of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Words of ‘Champion of #Women’s #Rights in India’ – Revolutionary Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar on women: * “I am a great believer in women’s organization. I know that what they can do to improve the condition of the society if they are convinced. In the eradication of social evils they have rendered great services. I will testify to that from my own experience. Ever since I began too work among the dpressed classes, I made it a point to carry women along with men.” * “If men have to bear pain like the pain of mother while in the Pre-natal condition and child birth, none of them who begets a child will comply another time in their life” * “I measure the progress of the community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.” * “#Women #liberation is the human liberation”...

Dr. Ambedkar never rejected Four Noble Truths The four noble truths are justified in the book – ‘The Buddha and His Dhamma’ by Dr. Ambedkar. Let us simply examine how many times and the context in which the author used these Truths while explaining the Dhamma. The very enlightenment of the Buddha starts from recognizing the first Noble Truth of sufferings. 1. “On the night of the last day of the fourth week light dawn upon him. He realized that there were two problems. The problem was that there was suffering in the world and the second problem was how to remove this suffering and make mankind happy”. 2. That suffering and unhappiness in the world he thought was incontrovertible fact. 3. Gautama was, however, interested in knowing how to do away with suffering. 4. It is, therefore, on this problem-how to remove suffering and unhappiness-that he concentrated his mind. 5. Naturally, the first question he asked himself was-“What are the causes of suffering and unhappin...

:: 1. What is Religion? ::  1. The word " religion " is an indefinite word with no fixed meaning. 2. It is one word with many meanings. 3. This is because religion has passed through many stages. The concept at each stage is called Religion though the concept at one stage has not had the same meaning which it had at the preceding stage or is likely to have at the succeeding stage. 4. The conception of religion was never fixed. 5. It has varied from time to time. 6. Because most of the phenomena such as lightning, rain and floods, the occurrence of which the primitive man could not explain, any weird performance done to control the phenomenon was called magic. Religion therefore came to be identified with magic. 7. Then came the second stage in the evolution of religion. In this stage religion came to be identified with beliefs, rituals, ceremonies, prayers and sacrifices. 8. But this conception of religion is derivative. 9. The pivotal point in religion...

What are the prospects of democracy in India? - by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar  The subject assigned to me is, “What are the prospects of democracy in India?” Most Indians speak with great pride as though their country was already a democracy. The foreigners also, when they sit at a dinner table to do diplomatic honor to India, speak of the Great Indian Prime Minister and the Great Indian Democracy. From this, it is held without waiting to argue that where there is a Republic, there must be a democracy. It is also supposed that where there is Parliament which is elected by the people on adult suffrage and the laws are made by the People’s Representatives in Parliament elected after few years, there is the democracy. In other words, democracy is understood to be a political instrument and where this political instrument exists, there is a democracy. Is there democracy in India or is there no democracy in India? What is the truth? No positive answer can be given unless the confusio...

"I am a man of character" – Dr. Ambedkar Dr. Ambedkar was not only a rebel intellectual but also a great organizer with vision. His organizing skills played a crucial role in the success of all the movements he led. His highly motivational and emotional speeches inculcated discipline among the Depressed Class masses. One such speech he made was when the Independent Labour party observed a one day strike on 7th November, 1938, against the Industrial Disputes bill in Bombay city. Dr. Ambedkar, after victory in the 1937 Bombay Provincial Elections On that day, a few disturbing incidents happened in the city; later the strike enquiry committee made allegations on the cadre and corps of the Independent Labour Party. To refute these allegations Dr. Ambedkar gave an excellent speech in Bombay on 8th January 1939 at the Kamgar Maidan on the occasion of the annual parade of the volunteer corps. Over 2,500 volunteers turned up smartly dressed and over 20,0...

WHAT IS NOT DHAMMA?  Source: Buddha And His Dhamma- Dr. B. R. AMBEDKAR  1. The Brahmins put all their emphasis upon knowledge. They taught that knowledge was the be-all and end-all of everything. Nothing further was to be considered.     2. The Buddha was on the other hand an upholder of education for all. Besides, he was more concerned with the use of knowledge a man is likely to make, than with knowledge itself.     3. Consequently he was very particular to emphasise that he who has knowledge must have Sila (Virtue), and that knowledge without Sila (Virtue) was most dangerous.     4. The importance of Sila, as against Prajna, is well illustrated by what he told the Bhikku Patisena.     5. In olden times when Buddha was residing at Sravasti, there was an old mendicant called Patisena who, being by nature cross and dull, could not learn so much as one Gatha by heart.     6. The Buddha accordingly ordered 500 Arahata...

Source: Dr. B.R.AMBEDKAR WRITING AND SPEECHES VOL. 07 and Who were Shudras? THE RIDDLE OF THE SHUDRAS EVERYBODY knows that the Shudras formed the fourth Varna of the Indo-Aryan society. But very few have cared to inquire who were these Shudras and how they came to be the fourth Varna. That such an enquiry is of first-rate importance is beyond question. For, it is worth knowing how the Shudras came to occupy the fourth place, whether it was the result of evolution or it was brought about by revolution. Any attempt to discover who the Shudras were and how they came to be the fourth Varna must begin with the origin of the Chaturvarnya in the Indo-Aryan society. A study of the Chaturvarnya must in its turn start with a study of the ninetieth Hymn of the Tenth Mandala of the Rig Veda—a Hymn, which is known by the famous name of Purusha Sukta. What does the Hymn say? It says1 : “1. Purusha has a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, a thousand feet. On every side enveloping t...
