Dr B. R. Ambedkar............The legacy continues....!!!!

http://www.tehelka.com/story_main38.asp?filename=cr190408realrevolutionary.asp Real Revolutionary It was BR Ambedkar who thwarted a bloody class war in independent India. We forget this at our own peril, warns H. MOHAN KUMAR FOR POOR and illiterate Dalits, Babasaheb Dr BR Ambedkar is the man who allowed them a historical foot in the door, providing them with job reservations and free admission to schools and hostels. The nation’s well-educated lot, in their turn, confines him as a ‘Dalit icon’. None, however, have assessed his contributions the way they deserve to be. After all, there are loftier reasons to celebrate Ambedkar. It is Ambedkarism that is lifting India gradually out of medieval darkness. Had Ambedkar not intervened intentionally to draft the Constitution of independent India, it would have ended up becoming a quasi- Manu Smriti. Most people believe that Ambedkar was helpful only to Dalits, but in fact non-Dalits across the spectrum — tribals, women, OBCs and minorities — benefited immensely from Ambedkarism. When the Constituent Assembly was caught in a dilemma over Adult Franchise, it was Ambedkar who ensured that the balance shifted in favour of the principle of ‘one vote, one value’. It was his foresight that made the Constitution generate and sustain durable democratic institutions like the Election Commission. It is the same dynamics of the Constitution written by Ambedkar that helped shudras like Charan Singh and Deve Gowda become prime ministers and lower caste political leaders like M. Karunananidhi, Karpoori Thakur and Veerappa Moily become chief ministers. Ambedkar broke the monopoly of upper castes over power, wealth and social privileges, but staunchly opposed to the use of violence in his epic struggle for justice, even at a time when atrocities were widely committed against Dalits. During the Chowdar Tank and Kalaram temple agitations in Maharashtra, the disciples of Tilak committed open violence on peacefully agitating Dalits; women were raped, children and men killed, houses burnt. Dalits had legitimate grounds to retaliate, but Ambedkar forbade them to do so. He was one of the few nationalist leaders who believed that “viole nce is not inevitable.” When it came to the genuine practice of peace and non-violence, he dwarfed even Gandhi, who often ignored perpetrators of communal violence, while only Ambedkar denounced them in clear-cut terms. It’s his unrelenting commitment to non-violence that made Ambedkar reject Communism in its heyday, when more than half of existing sovereign states called themselves ‘Communist’. The overwhelming opinion was that the whole world would soon come under the canopy of Communism. For this to have happened, India, a geographical and population giant, was a key and determining factor. By clearly articulating his case against Communism, Ambedkar prevented the Dalit masses, who comp rised nearly a quarter of the subcon tinent’s population, from getting enamoured by the Communist parties’ propaganda, thus dep riving them of the human resource, ie. cadre ranks, needed for them to be influential. HO CHIMINH was patently wrong when he said, “The revolution did not take place in India because of Gandhi.” It was Babasaheb who thwarted communism in India; not Western counter-propaganda, and definitely not Gandhi, who never spoke against Communism. Nehru too never expressed disapproval of Stalin’s atrocities. Karunanidhi even named his son after Stalin. Convinced of its invinci bility, scores of leaders, journalists and intellectuals never dared to oppose Communism. Only Ambedkar had the guts and the vision to oppose it. In a world overshadowed by Communist superpower Soviet Union, had he been keen, Ambedkar could have garnered a lot of international support for armed struggle on Communist lines. The present Naxal menace would have looked like a mere skirmish compared to 20 percent of the Indian population taking up arms in a ‘class war.’ Reservation for Dalits can be seen as a practical strategy devised by Babasaheb, who opposed Communism for philosophical reasons, to prevent chances of bloodshed in India. To know the course India could have taken, we only need to take a look at our neighbourhood. Nepal, Bangladesh, Srilanka, Pakistan and Afghanistan all have Manuvaadi social hierarchies similar to India, but in the absence of an Ambedkar and his socio-political philosophy, which found superb articulation in the Constitution, they continue to be in turmoil. Not that India can remain unaffected; possibilities exist, and both Naxalism and jehadi outrage are pointers to this. It’s time the upper castes, their media and academics perked up, and re-examined the institution that was Babasaheb, and the ideals he stood for
