Thank you Shubhangi. I am mesmerised each time I read the power of these words, they have so much of power and sensibility in them. I am pleased to hear these comments from you, it is an absolute pleasure to write about this man

Indeed Bhagat, he was a great man who has contributed an immense amount and responsible for the country the way it is today

There maybe a lot of truth to it Vinod. It all feels like a marketing initiative, people, with specific sects and groups seem to form their own heroes. I believe there are heroes beyond the groupism to be valued for the quality of work they delivered and the impact they created on other’s lives. None of our lives would have ever been this way if not for Ambedkar, it is amazing how much the quality of lives have improved allowing us to function together as a nation. True kudos for such an amazing personality.

His work was exemplary Prashant. I think he brought the idea of inclusivity to reality and we can’t thank him enough for that effort. Although there is always more to do, I sometimes wonder if our leaders took his ideas and inspirations to the next level. At times, I feel pained that there has been minimal effort to grow from where we were 50 years ago to improve the condition of people in our nation.

Hi Vinod, your input is thoroughly appreciated. I have loved reading about Ambedkar every bit I can, but I would have loved to know more. You have given us nuggets of information which we have missed and our readers will be very thankful for this comment. It enriches this discussion to have such constructive comments which add so much value

Hi Ajay, I don’t think I agree to this comment. Gandhi and Ambedkar were giants in their own rights. They fought for different reasons. Although I admit that we all have different favourites based on our own personalities, it would be wrong to condemn Gandhi for his efforts. I don’t think it would be fair to castaway a hero like Gandhi and accuse of hypocrisy for such a giant. History is full of opinions, we would like to focus on what we can learn from both of them and how this can impact our lives.
