Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar: The Revolutionary Social Reformer 31

say that this is the Shakespeare of Hindustan. Whereas, we
should say that Shakespeare means our Tulsidas. This inferiority
complex of ours is a result of slavery. We tend to remember
Shakespeare before Tulsidas. Because of this complex, we have
put a rare personality like Babasaheb in a small shell. With self-
confidence, Babasaheb should be recognized as a world
personality and a great man who struggled for the deprived.

If we all develop this attitude, then imagine where we can
take this society. The names of great people continue to inspire
us generation after generation. This striving is so that we may
not forget our great people.

Even to honour Babasaheb with the Bharat Ratna Award, a
movement was required. What can be a bigger misfortune than
this? Dalits should get a permanent place in the stream of society.
Hence, it is necessary to continuously enjoin a person with his
proud heritage. The Constitution was framed by Babasaheb, the
country was given a new code of conduct and hence this
contribution of Dr. Ambedkar has to be accepted by the whole
country.

The Interest of the Country is Supreme
In every corner of the world, the nature of discrimination

between human beings can be observed. One can also observe
the class that is fighting this discrimination. In this world, the
names of the people who fought for the blacks are on
everybody’s lips. However, if there is any Son of India who has
been fighting for the downtrodden, the world does not recognize
them. If a writer or a poet in any other country of the world
would raise his voice against the evils of that society, he would
be worshipped as a Universal Man. In our country, even though
our achievements have not been any less than in other society,
the names of these public leaders do not figure in the annals of
world history. As a society, this is a matter of pain for all of us. It
is our joint responsibility to ensure that these public leaders
also become an inspiration to the rest of the societies of the
world.

One can see a lot of similarities in the upbringing of two
personalities, who fought for the deprived - Babasaheb and
