“Collective study of literature of Dr. B .R. Ambedkar by “Samata Sainik Dal” at Deekshabhoomi Nagpur.”
Topic: “PROSPECTS OF DEMOCRACY IN INDIA” – Babasaheb Dr. B. R. Ambedkar
Following points have been studied and understood.
The subject assigned to me (Babasaheb) is, “What are the prospects of democracy in India?”
* Most Indians speak with great pride as though their country was already a democracy.
* The foreigners also, when they sit at a dinner table to do diplomatic honor to India, speak of the Great Indian Prime Minister and the Great Indian Democracy.
* From this, it is held without waiting to argue that where there is a Republic, there must be democracy.
* Is there democracy in India or is there no democracy in India? What is the truth?
* Democracy is quite different from a Republic as well as from Parliamentary Government.
* What does the word ‘Society’ cannot? To put it briefly when we speak of ‘Society,’ we conceive of it as one by its very nature. The qualities which accompany this unity are praiseworthy community of purpose and desire for welfare, loyalty to public ends and mutuality of sympathy and co-operation. * Are these ideals to be found in Indian Society? The Indian Society does not consist of individuals…..
* Caste and class differ in the fact that in the Class System there is no complete isolation as there is in the Caste System.
* How to put an end to the Caste System? The first obstacle lies in the system of graded inequality which is the soul of the Caste System.
* Can education destroy caste?
* The fault of the present policy is that though education is being given on a larger scale, it is not given to the right strata of Indian Society. If you give education to those strata of Indian Society which has a vested interest in maintaining the Caste System for the advantages it gives them, then the Caste System will be strengthened.
