Ambedkar Jayanthi Wishes:
- “I measure the progress of a community by the degree of freedom which women have achieved.”
- “Indians today are governed by two different ideologies. Their political ideal set in the preamble of the Constitution affirms a life of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Their social ideal embodied in their religion denies them.”
- “People and their religion must be judged by social standards based on social ethics. No other standard would have any meaning if religion is held to be necessary good for the well-being of the people.”
- “In Hinduism, conscience, reason and independent thinking have no scope for development.”
- “The sovereignty of scriptures of all religions must come to an end if we want to have a united integrated modern India.”
- History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict, victory is always with economics. Vested interests have never been known to have willingly divested themselves unless there was sufficient force to compel them.
