Bhimrao Ambedkar Jayanti 2023 Quotes, Messages: Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Jayanti, popularly known as Ambedkar Jayanti or Bhim Jayanti, is observed on April 14 every year. It marks the birth anniversary of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, who is known as the ‘Father of the Indian Constitution’ and was the first law minister of Independent India. One of the most important social reformers in India, Dr Ambedkar was a vociferous advocate of Dalit's rights, women’s rights, and labour rights. His worldview was shaped by his personal oppression - as he was born in a Mahr Dalit family on April 14, 1891 in Madhya Pradesh’s Mhow, and faced social, and economic discrimination as Dalits were considered “untouchables” within the Hindu caste system then, Dr Ambedkar fought against these social evils all his life and wrote scores of journals advocating the same. His Annihilation of Caste is considered a seminal work in understanding how caste discrimination affects India. Below are some inspiring quotes, messages, and thoughts by Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar to share on Ambedkar Jayanti. * “Equality may be a fiction but nonetheless one must accept it as a governing principle”. * “So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you”. * “I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.” * “Cultivation of mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence”. * “Political tyranny is nothing compared to the social tyranny and a reformer who defies society is a more courageous man than a politician who defies Government”. * "Be educated, be organised and be agitated”. * “I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved”. * “Life should be great rather than long”. 📣 For more lifestyle news, follow us on Instagram | Twitter | Facebook and don't miss out on the latest updates!
