Ambedkar BR

 Ambedkar was not a freedom fighter. His public life began in a sense from a public meeting held at the Damodar Hall in Bombay on March 9, 1924. In his entire life, he never participated in a single freedom struggle movement. “The Maharashtra government published 14 volumes of the speeches and writings of Ambedkar. These cover 9,996 pages. Volumes up to the 12th contain his speeches and writing up to 1946. These extend to 7,371 pages. You would be hard put to find one article, one speech, one passage in which Ambedkar can be seen even by inference to be arguing for India’s Independence.”.
