“The philosophy of B.R. Ambedkar to provide equal educational and employment opportunities for downtrodden sections in society will remain a dream unless the nation focuses towards achieving his vision,” said Panditaradhya Shivacharya swami of Hosadurga.
Paying floral tribute to the Ambedkar Statue on 67th Mahaparinirvan Diwas of Dr. Ambedkar here in Kalaburagi on Wednesday the religious head said that the Constitution of India provides equal opportunities for the oppressed and marginalized in all fields.
Recalling the last wishes of the Architect of Indian Constitution, he said Dr. Ambedkar had expressed to his assistant Nanak Chand Rattu that he desired to see Dalits sharing political power with the people of different communities on an equal standing. He said Dr. Ambedkar had also expressed deep anguish and sadness that a few who benefitted by his struggle were ignoring the welfare of the community.
