On BR Ambedkar’s death anniversary best quotes to enlighten you.

December 6 is recognised as the death anniversary of BR Ambedkar, the father of the Indian constitution.

He was a prominent Indian social reformer remembered for  his fight against untouchability and struggle for the empowerment of Dalits.

He wanted to bring out the evils of Hindu religion and converted to Buddhism before his death.

To mark his contribution on critique of casteism in India let's look back on famous quotes from his influential Annihilation of Caste speech

“There is no doubt, in my opinion, that unless you change your social order you can achieve little by way of progress.”

“Caste has however done one thing. It has completely disorganised and demoralised the Hindus.”

“These will suffice to show that the emancipation of the mind and the soul is a necessary preliminary for the political expansion of the people.”

“In the fight for swaraj you fight with the whole nation on your side. In this, you have to fight against the whole nation—and that too, your own.”

“Turn in any direction you like, caste is the monster that crosses your path. You cannot have political reform, you cannot have economic reform, unless you kill this monster.”
