Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar's speech in the Parliament, 17th December 1946, (in response to Dr.Jayakar's amendment) --- So far as the ultimate goal is concerned, I think none of us need have any apprehensions. None of us need have any doubt. Our difficulty is not about the ultimate future. Our difficulty is how to make the heterogeneous mass that we have to-day take a decision in common and march on the way which leads us to unity. Our difficulty is not with regard to the ultimate; our difficulty is with regard to the beginning. Mr. Chairman, therefore, I should have thought that in order to make us willing friends, in order to induce every party, every section in this country to take on to the road it would be an act of greatest statesmanship for the majority party even to make a concession to the prejudices of people who are not prepared to march together and it is for that, that I propose to make this appeal. Let us leave aside slogans, let us leave aside words which frighten people. Let us even make a concession to the prejudices of our opponents, bring them in, so that they may willingly join with us on marching upon that road, which as I said, if we walk long enough, must necessarily lead us to unity.

Dr Ambedkar's legacy lives on
Dr Ambedkar's legacy lives on.......................................... Smitha Nair , CNN-IBN Posted on Dec 06, 2006 at 08:16 | Updated Jun 21, 2007 at 09:15 Watch CNN AC360 Videos Where Truth Got in the Way of an Agenda. FreedomMag.org/CNN_AC360 Ads by Google --------------------------------- New Delhi: Fifty years after his death, Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar still inspires Dalits and remains a larger than life figure. He continues to influence the course of Indian politics through his many disciples like Kanshi Ram, Mayawati, the Republican Party and the Dalit Panthers of Maharashtra. Disturbing visuals that inundate our television screens after the shocking Khairlanji killings and the defacement of his statue in Kanpur are a reminder that Dr Ambedkar can still inspire passions. In fact, Ambedkar's statues are often desecrated. But every time that happens, the father of the Indian Constitution, a neo-Buddhist, a messaih for the most underprivileged, comes back to tower over Indian politics. Ambedkar is himself a political issue. He is even part of the explanations offered when Dalit violence breaks out. "We are non-violent. But Dr Ambedkar differentiated by saying that there should be a need to kill, not will to kill," says Dalit Panthers' leader Arun Kamble. But it's not always about violence and politics. The deification of the social engineer has its economic spin-off as well. Sculptors who may not have done justice to Ambedkar's memory have been paid handsomely ...

Taking a leaf from my play "Gandhi's Children of God and Me", I created this scene at the Columbia University celebrations of Dr. Ambedkar, one of its famous alumni and a maker of the Indian Constitution. Year: 1932. Place: Yerwada Jail in India. Obama was transported back into time. I used the members of the distinguished audience as Gandhi, Dr. Ambedkar, Mayawati and Dr. Martin Luther King. I played the role of Obama and mediated between two factions (Gandhi for high caste Hindus fasting and refusing to concede a separate electorate for Dalits (known as untouchables) granted by the then Prime Minister of England Ramsey McDonald. Dr. Ambedkar relunctant to cave into Gandhi as Dalits would loose the golden opportunity to get out of the political clutches of High Caste Hindus.
The fast-track projects of UP Government for building memorials and installing statues of dalit icons including Chief Minister Mayawati today faced another roadblock with the Supreme Court restraining it from carrying out construction activities for its Rs 650 crore venture at a park in Noida adjacent to the New Delhi. The Samajik Parivartan Sangrahalay at Noida near DND flyway, would comprise two 'stupas' with galleries which would depict the life history of great personalities and social reformers and their deeds and actions related to social reforms. The 'stupa' being constructed near Noida flyway with a crowd of statues will cost the exchequer Rs 203 crore and there was a budgetary allocation of Rs 294 crore for other parks and statues, the Mayawati government has reportedly told the Supreme Court on 21st August 2009. "The cultural department made provisions of Rs 194.2 crore in the financial year 2008-09 and Rs 100 crore in the year 2009-10."
