Bhim Rao Ambedkar
Ambedkar is not his ancestral title. That title belongs to the headmaster of his school. But why is this? Why can't a person use the title of his own grandfather all his life? Why is he forced to carry the title of another all his life? She is history. He is very sad, very embarrassing.
Born in extreme poverty in a Dalit family, Bhimrao Ramji Sakpal Ambedkar. Father Ramji Sakpal and mother Bhimabai. Twelve brothers at home, the pain of poverty at home. The suffering of society outside. They are that Dalit, untouchable. If you touch them, the upper caste people will not be able to take a bath. It doesn't matter if you play from one pot or sit side by side. The caste could be upper caste
Lakes. Immediately they had to make atonement by covering their heads and eating gaber. If anyone objected, he was put in solitary confinement. This means that everyone avoided him, did not talk to him, did not associate with him. To boycott what is called in English.
There is no question of a boy going to school in the corner of such a Dalit house. They are born to be ignorant and to serve the upper castes. But Ambedkar's fortunes were good. My father served in the English army. At that time, the government provided unpaid schools for the children of soldiers. That is where his education started. But my father retired from his job and came to Satara to live permanently. Bhimrao was admitted to the local primary school. But the fact that he is untouchable, touches him that other students, even teachers, will be born. So instead of sitting on a bench reserved for students, Bhimrao had to sit on the floor in a corner of the classroom. He would not touch the book when he came to show it to the master by writing something in the book or doing the math. The other students stood around Mastermashai's table, showing their notebooks, and the Bhimaras, too, stood at a dry face, away. Listening to Mastermashai's words, he would edit his own book by himself. Can you think? Atatukuni is a boy, no one loves him, no one touches him, no one draws him close to him. He lives far away alone. Why? What's wrong with her? No, he was born in the house of untouchable masters.
But the fate of Bhimrao too - it must be said that Nehatai was good. Not everyone is equal anymore. There was a kind teacher in that school. Every day he saw the oppression of the sixth boy by the society. This oppression continues at school and outside the school. But for this reason high caste boys cannot be punished in any case because that is the customary rule of the society. That kind teacher then came up with an idea. He added his own title of Ambedkar to the name of the calm, polite, intelligent Bhimrao. As soon as they hear the name, their noses sneeze. From then on, Bhimrao became Ambedkar by giving up the title of Shakpal of lower caste.
Meritorious boy. He passed the BA examination with good marks from Elphinstone College. The king of Barada, recognizing the talent of this boy, called him and gave him a job and also sent him to America to study Ara. After studying economics and politics in the United States and London, Bhimrao returned to India and worked as a political adviser to the king of Baradar. But the merciful king did not realize then what he had done wrong. The one he has placed in such a high position is a Mahar, the sixth caste. So no employee agreed to work under his command from Bhimrao.
The Bhimaras also understood that decay had taken root in this superstitious society. He needs oil before he can be healed. He started a movement against racism. Gandhiji named the untouchables Harijan. Ambedkar vehemently opposed the name. He said that if the untouchables are like Harijans or gods, what about others? According to him, it is insulting for the untouchables to distinguish themselves by the name 'Harijan'. But the Indian government did not listen to his argument. If the name Harijan continues.
Ambedkar saw that the government of the upper class people does not give importance to the words of his or his class. After India became independent (1947), Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru called on him to draft a constitution. He is the chairman of the constitution-drafting pundit group. The Indian Constitution was written for almost two years. Launched on 26 November 1949.
Ambedkar, as the law minister of an independent country, introduced a number of amendments to Hindu law. But others did not want to obey him. His Hindu law bill was blocked without being passed. Insulted, Dr. Ambedkar resigned as law minister.
Having been so humiliated and neglected, he realized that the condition of the untouchable Dalits was in the same whale that the country should be independent and subjugated. But he did not give up in despair and remained silent. He began to look for the language of protest. Finally, on 14 October 1956, along with his followers, Bhimrao Ambedkar left Hinduism and converted to Buddhism.
The anger and filth accumulated all his life has gone away for so long. The scars of long insults were added to the Buddhist mantra of forgiveness and love. Absolute peace descended on his life.
He left for Amritla in the middle of the night on December 6, 1957. Wounded in the long unequal war, the shadow of absolute peace was then on the face of this Dalit child of God.
Age, caste, position, opinion - none of these is a bar an entering the chambers of the self.
