How has Dr. Ambedkar contributed to the Indian society?
Saddhananda Fulzele: Memories of Dr Ambedkar and 1956 I met Professor Saddhananda Fulzele, the organizer of the great 1956 conversion ceremony, in a university building adjacent to the Dikshabhumi conversion ground: Dr Ambedkar College, which Prof. Fulzele founded and developed into a top-ranking college. I asked him to tell me his memories of Dr Ambedkar and 1956. “I have known about Dr Ambedkar as long as I have known about the world. When I was growing up my family kept his picture as one of their few possessions and worshipped him as if he was a God. My father was a landlord and we got news of the wider world, even in our remote village. I first saw him in 1942, when I was just 14 years old: he had left mainstream politics to form his own party, the Scheduled Caste Federation, and when he came to Nagpur for a conference, I saw him on the dais. I saw him again in 1946, when he was Labour Minister and he came to Nagpur for another meeting. He arrived in a large saloon car, and his fa
if Dr Ambedkar really opposed the caste system then why is thee affirmative action taking place in education system and in the work field. The jobs are already reserved for lower caste people as well as seats in the colleges. A lower caste student gets 70 % marks and he gets into the programme on the other hand upper class student who has 90% cannot get into the programme because of his upper caste what kind of fair game did Dr created.
As we all know today’s indian costitution is the result of only one man that is Babasaheb. As ruling the Reservation policies in our constitution he opens up the express highway for devlopment to the SC/ST, OBC etc. It is because of him only that every Backward caste and tribe is learning to today’s competitive world. Without him it is not possible to the people of backward caste and tribes to survive in today’s world. As we all know it is only the 03rd generation of SC/ST, OBC etc. who make the maximum use and benefits of his reservation policy. Babasaheb is the only one who gave this caste opportunity to fight against the “Manu”. He gave rise to their sole. He tries to make an equality in our Great India.
Dr. Ambedkar definately provided the leadership to uplift the living standard of downtrodden and introduced reservation policy for 10 years. Later on future politicians used his policy as a vote bank tool and now many economically downtrodded so called upper caste people are deprived of opportunities due to ever growing reservation percentage which is driving Indian education and profession towards poor quality and less competetive. It’s time reservation of at most 20% that too for economically backward classes be applied. Dr. Abmedkar created a platform for equal opportunity to every citizen in India, however is being misused by current politician and this has become a cancer now and leading India to disaster.
