30 Social Harmony

society. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar wrote such a modern principle
and gave it to us, which would continue to guide this nation for
centuries to come. This framer of the Constitution has given
the responsibility of sacrificing many things for the society to
many people.

Everybody’s Messiah
     The extent to which the atmosphere of awakening has

spread in society, the depth it has reached indicates the change
taking place in the common life of the society. Unfortunately, in
our country, such a deformity has been formed, which instead
of ensuring all-round development and thinking of the society
has given way to a tradition which would divide the society

and identity into fragments, then one should believe that the
society is heading towards self-destruction. It is the need of the
day that irrespective of the belief and ideology, one should
encourage a respectable person who is trying to do something
for the country. Unfortunately, many evils have crept into society
after independence. It seems that the great traditions of our
society have died and gone. There is a large section of the

Savarkar, etc. It is necessary to bring the society out of such
mindsets. Every great man who lived and died for the country
belongs to us.

     Dr. Babasaheb worked for the country and therefore he
should be revered. But we have limited Babasaheb Ambedkar
as the Messiah of the Dalits. Actually, he was the Messiah of the

commit the sin of reducing the stature of Babasaheb by
portraying him as the Messiah of Dalits alone. We should not
limit this immense personality in a small sphere.

     Our difficulty is that as part of our inherent nature, we see

everything as being bad. If we have to introduce Tulsidas, we
