HISTORICAL FACTS: Ambedkar actually found solutions to society s challenges - The Untold Story

Hailing the contribution of B.R. Ambedkar in creating a more humane and equitable society, B.M. Baeen, retired Professor of Political Science, Gulbarga University, has said that the former has not only faced the most inhuman discrimination and oppression but also fought for addressing those issues in general.

“Generally, people face challenges in life. While some manage to get out of them without bothering to find solutions, Dr. Ambedkar not only faced those challenges but, actually, also found solutions to them,” he said, addressing a gathering during Ambedkar’s 133rd birth anniversary celebrations at Central University of Karnataka near Kalaburagi recently.

“Ambedkar fought throughout his life for the elimination of untouchability and caste system. He immensely contributed for the upliftment of the oppressed and marginalised sections of society. He worked for creating a harmonious society free from discrimination and exploitation. His life and work will continue to be a leading light for the disadvantaged communities in their fight for equality,” he said.
