For Those Half-Baked Fellows Who Always Keep Shouting Against The 'Reservation System In India'.

Now-a-days many fellows are barking about the Reservation System in India. Many Congenital idiots have no knowledge about the Reservation System, simply they are now talking about the anti-Reservation. Some Ignominious fellows even further claim without baseless coating and spraying the nonsense word over some particular section. I frankly state here for those who against the Reservation. You people before talk about the reservation first go and brush your knowledge and study for one whole day about the history of the reservation, what reservation mean like that. If you do not understand about reservation, then broad yourself. First of all the reservation is not about any mercy basis for some particular section. Reservation is not about any concession basis. Reservation is the only rectification for the historical injustice heaped upon the some section. The aim of the reservation is to increase the social and educational status of the economically weaker section. Reservation based on population proportion helps to bring the unequal to equals. So they can take their rightful place in the Indian society. Simply its a right and rectification of the historical injustice and hence it is a debt that has to be paid to them. For more than thousand years you congenital idiots were draining their bloods and denied the education to them. You created this caste system and sucks their bloods. Tell me who created the barbaric caste system culture? Now-a-days you people are barking about the anti Reservation. First come forward for extrude the caste system, then talk about the reservation. I am sure Reservation system will be prevailing, till Untouchability and the Caste system exists. I have the slightest doubt, is it really blood flows in your body or sewer flows in your body in place of blood? What irritate me more means, some fellows behave like a jabber here. The reservation has been given in more than twelve forms under Political and Education (Job and Institutions) by the Constitution of India. Here you silly people mention only one about Scheduled Class / Scheduled Tribes. No one mention about the Other Backward Classes, although OBC SHUDRAS are the higher benefit of these Reservation in both Tamil Nadu state level and National level. ( In Tamil Nadu the Shudras are called as Backward class and Most Backward class)

Reservation policy in Tamil Nadu as:
General – 31%, 
O.B.C ( BC and M.B.C) – 50%, 
SC – 18% and 
ST – 1%. 

Reservation policy in all India (Central Govt) as:
General – 50.5%, 
O.B.C – 27%, 
SC – 15%, 
ST – 7.5% 

Based on their population proportion. Almost past 93 years, these OBC section in Tamil Nadu licking the taste and enjoying benefits of reservation quota and they now claimed Scheduled Class / Scheduled Tribes alone gained reservation. 

Tell me who takes the reservation in Tamil Nadu too. Where you all gone when the OBC reservation bill introduced in the Lok Sabha 2007. Today these OBC brethren are the worst Casteist in Tamil Nadu and India level than others. They themselves thought they are higher than Scheduled Class / Scheduled Tribes. By licking these reservation OBC brethren somehow developed today. You OBC SHUDRAS section in Tamil Nadu, before talk the anti-reservation first think at what heuristic strata you people before 70 years. You were all occupied just 4% in government jobs, rest 95% occupied by Brahmins. You Backward and Most backward class having alone enjoyed the quota. You have no shame on yourselves that now portray as higher class. If you all people no need reservation, first you all must tear yours BC and MBC Caste certificates and apply for the open quota i,e 31% which allocated in Tamil Nadu instead applying in BC and MBC quotas in both Educational Institutions and Government Jobs.
Some people thought themselves as they are over smart. They said that it effects the merits. Let me what merit mean. Another group said that the caste starts from the school level and government itself issued what caste certificate. Hey Nonsense, your parents alone teach you what caste you are. Caste starts from your family alone. You people have no problem for the Caste based society. You people have no problem for the Caste based relations among yourselves. You people have no problem for the Caste based Marriage. You people have no problem for the Caste based graveyard. You people have no problem for the Caste based house rentals. You people have no problem when they are denied access to drinking water. You people have no problem when they are victims of violence and atrocities both at home and outside. You people have no problem for the priest from one caste alone. These bondage even death brings no end. Tell me how many idiots negate the Caste based society or Caste based relations among yourselves or Caste based Marriage in India….???? Why my beloved Indians don’t negate it…??? 

Many says, "Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar created the reservation only for ten years”. Did they ever read or know about what Poona Pact mean? If not, first go and read at least about what the Poona Pact mean and broad yourself who created the present form of reservation. Of course it was created by Mr. Gandhi who fast unto death and denied the rights of Scheduled Class / Scheduled Tribes section from the separate representation. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar voiced for the separate representation only. Remember it is a Political Representation. The then Prime Minister of Britain, Ramsay Macdonald agreed it for not only Scheduled Class / Scheduled Tribes but also for Muslims, Sikhs, Anglo-Indians and Christians. Gandhi had no problem for the separate representation to Muslims and Sikhs but against the separate representation to Scheduled Class / Scheduled Tribes, Anglo-Indians and Christians. No such dark face of Gandhi was screened in Gandhi film. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar wished to end up the reserved constituency only after 10 years. Because he believed that they point out their voices of their problems in Parliament and state legislatures. But the result was different. Instead they were all chanting for their representing parties. In terms of education and jobs, he never said to end up after 10 years. He wished, Reservation system will be prevailing, till Untouchability and the Caste system exists.

Many criticized about the cut-off marks that Scheduled Class / Scheduled Tribes students will have to score minimum marks than others. Why not many of my colleagues asked me such like. I ask them, do they know about cut-marks to the BL degree in Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University…??? If not, let they broad themselves. 

The cut-off marks are: 
OC - 83.12%, 
SC -77.50%, 
BC - 67.62%, 
MBC – 64.37% and 
ST - 45. 27%.  

Do they know about the medical cut-off in Tamil Nadu ( in Madras Medical College, Chennai )…??? If not, let know it. 
For OC – 199.75%, 
BC – 199.50%, 
MBC – 199.25%, 
SC – 198.75%, 
ST – 199.75%  

Go and see the cut-off required for Medical in Tamil Nadu. According to the census of India, the rate of literacy among the Scheduled Class / Scheduled Tribes is lower than others in India.

                              


                              


                                Almost for the past two thousand years, they are the people has been facing a number of social problems. You people have no problem about the Casteism which is a cruel social system that cause of most evils in India, for it suppresses Scheduled Class / Scheduled Tribes denies them the opportunity to grow as humans. Do you know about my Dharmapuri issue (Tamil Nadu) in 2012…???? Do you know about Paramakudi massacre, Kodiyankulam, Kelvenmani, Mudhukuladhur, Thamiraparani issue in Tamil Nadu, Lakshmipeta, Karamchandi issue in Andhra, Belchi issue in Bihar, Khiralanji issue in Maharashtra etc., Even normal rights are denied to them by the Idiots in India. The insults, inhuman atrocities against continue till date. The torture and the most brutal killing more over till exists. The Caste consciousness is ingrained in Corpuscle of every people and reflected in his conduct. Untouchability prevailed more in India but no one talk about it. Have any succeeded in driving away this monster so called Casteism...??? Has the inequality vanished...??? To me, the answers to these questions are surely Negative. Untouchability still existence today in the name of pathetic modernization. Why after 66 years of Independent India still faces caste based atrocities...??? Is it modern world...??? Can those who shout against reservation able to answer why after these 66 years independence we still have inequality on social, economical, political, cultural platform..?? Why still we face cast base atrocities..?? Why do we find only some section in monial jobs today...??? Before talk about reservation, ask your parents and grandparents and slap them if they didn’t thought about the deserving person who was washing your streets. Why you people didn’t thought about the economic way at that time. Go and visit one slum area, why not come to my village in Dharmapuri district of Tamil nadu. Read one whole week and then talk about reservation. If all you deserving people are right then slap yourself for the corruption and discrimination you people have generated. If you people are better and deserving then go and ask your other deserving fellow to clean your city sitting in office otherwise slap yourself. Mere talking will nothing make any great impact to the barbaric Indian Society. Since Caste is the normal Indian life. Caste is the nuclei custom of Indian. Till it is attached in the normal life of Indian and ruin dominant over some section. Of course some may claim themselves as progressive thinkers. For me, they also not so impact to against the barbaric Indian society and they are more dangerous than the reactionaries. There are so many of my friends think rational but none one act and they are the people like a seasonal Chameleons. Not only they, but this Indian society is such like. Whatever I may considered, Just as human beings I want everyone with equal rights whether it may Socially or Politically or Economically. And also, whatever the others may consider me, I never bother anyone. I want everyone to realize their self esteem. Definitely I believed that one day everyone realize themselves and through off the useless patches. Once again I tell you, Reservation system will be prevailing, till Untouchability and the Caste system exists.

Thatha Rettamalai Srinivasan: One of The Pioneers of The Scheduled Classes Movement of India.

Thatha Rettamalai Srinivasan and Dr. Ambedkar

"Both me and Dr. Ambedkar worked as nail and flesh. We both went as representatives of the depressed classes at the second Round conference in London and fought for their political rights."

~ Thatha Rettamalai Srinivasan.

Let we tribute to the first degree holder from the Scheduled Classes of India, a brilliant of tongue and Master of Pen, Saviour of downtrodden - Diwan Bahadur Rettamalai Srinivasan. He was educated at the Government Arts College of Coimbatore. He was an Indian Freedom fighter and one of the Pioneers of the Scheduled Classes movement in India. When Dr. Ambedkar was one year old, Thatha Srinivasan organised India's second conference of the then Depressed Classes in Madras. India's first Conference of Depressed Classes was organised by Pandit Iyothee Thass and Rev John Ratnam. He brought the rights that the Scheduled Classes to use the public roads, wells, tanks, etc in erstwhile Madras Presidency (Present-Day Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and parts of Kerala, Karnataka and Odisha) in 1924. It was because of Perunthalaivar M. C. Rajah and Thatha Rettamalai Srinivasan, for the first time in India the Communal representation for the Scheduled Classes given under the Act of 1919. So the Scheduled Classes were nominated to the Provincial Legislatures from 1920 [ Provincial Legislatures: Madras- 10, CP- 4, Bengal- 1, UP- 1, Bihar- 2 and Bombay- 2 ]. The Government of India Act of 1919 made provisions for the grant of 10 nominated seats to them in the Madras Legislature. Before this, there was no representation to the Scheduled Class in India. He represented the Scheduled Classes of India in the 1st and 2nd Round Table Conferences in London along with Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.

In November 1930, along with Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, he represent the interests of the Scheduled Classes, both favored the extension of minority status to the Scheduled Classes. His participants in the First Round Table Conferences in 1930 was a red letter day in the History of the Scheduled Classes. In this conference George-V hosted the delegates at the Windsor Castle Royal Palace and inviting them by shaking their hands but Srinivasan refused to shake his hands because George-V was the Emperor of India and the Indians were the slaves of the Emperor and Srinivasan was the slave of his slave and more over he was an Untouchable. Then the Emperor came to know what Untochability was. Both Thatha Srinivasan and Dr. Ambedkar were presented their proposals, "A Scheme of Political Safeguards for the Protection of Depressed Classes in the Future Constitution of Self Governing India" at Round Table Conference on behalf of the Depressed Classes. They laid down certain terms and conditions under which the Depressed Classes would accept the rule of majority in a self-governing India.

Dr. Ambedkar, V. I. Munuswamy Pillai and Rettamalai Srinivasan.

Thiru. Ve. Ka honoured Diwan Bahadur R.Srinivasan with the title of 'Dravida Mani'. Thatha Rettamalai Srinivasan was instrumental for Mr. Gandhi in putting his signature in Tamil in South Africa.

His words: "We are the sons of this soil and our history start from the good old ancient past, but our civil Rights are denied by the invaders. Rights are not given as alms but they must be got by Struggle and fight. We ought to fight for our rights and not expected to be granted by grace of others".

Thatha Rettamalai Srinivasan

           

Dr. Ambedkar on the Communal Award (23 Aug 1932):

"No one expected the Communal Award to be everything to everybody and I myself was prepared for some variations in the proposals made by me and my Colleague Rao Bahadur Srinivasan at the Round Table Conference on behalf of the Depressed Classes."

Pandit Iyothee Thass -- First Leader Who Had Worked For The Cause of Revival of Buddhism In India.

Buddha, Pandit Iyothee Thass and Dr. Ambedkar.

Tribute to Revolutionary Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and E. V. Ramasamy Periyar’s pioneer Pandit Iyothee Thass. Babasaheb's inspiration for writing his "The Buddha and His Dhamma" was none other than Pandit Iyothee Thass associate Lakshmi Narasu's work “The Essence Of Buddhism”. Pandit Iyothee Thass is called as 'Father of South India Social Reform'. I dunno how many Dravidian activists know the name "Iyothee Thass" who introduced E.V. Ramasamy Periyar in politics?

TITTLE : Pandit, Father of South Indian Social Movements.

BORN : 20 May, 1845.

DIED : 5 May, 1914.

ACHIEVEMENTS :

He worked for the downtrodden people. He was the first person who instrumental in articulating the idea that the downtrodden people were not only Buddhists formerly but were the original inhabitants of India which later paved way for many social movements. He was the first Leader who had worked for the cause of revival of Buddhism in Modern India. In 1898, he founded the “Sakya Buddhist Society” ( Indian Buddhist Association). Iyothee Thass was the first modern Dalit social revolutionary. He succeed in the getting the thousands of acres of lands and distributed among the landless poor under the scheme of “Panchami Lands”.

EARLY LIFE :

Iyothee Thass was born in Nilgiris in 1845 and his father was Kandaswamy. His original name was Kathavarayan. As his teacher's name was Iyothee Thass, Kathavaraya changed his name into Iyothee Thass. He also obtained the title of Pandit. He was also a popular Siddha Doctor. He gained expertise in reading palm leaf manuscripts, Tamil literature, philosophy, Siddha and had good knowledge of English, Sanskrit and Pali. Iyothee Thass was the first Dalit to undergo a personal educational revolution. He educated himself in Tamil, Sanskrit, Pali and English. Because he was self-taught, he was able to shed new light on Tamil and Pali culture and spirituality. He is a role model for every Dalit student struggling in casteist, run-down government schools. He realized, as few others did, that the real revolutionary potential lay not in urban Dalits, but in the rural Dalits and adivasis. Iyothee Thass united and organized the various tribes of the Nilgiri Hills (Wayanad in Kerala, Nilgiris in Tamil Nadu).

* 1885 - Launched a magazine 'Dravida Pandian'.

* 1886 - He declared that Untochables were not Hindus.

* 1891 - Established the Dravida Mahajana Sabha. During first census, he urged so called Untouchables to register themselves as Casteless Dravidians.

* 1896 - He moved from Nilgiris to Chennai where he created one Buddhist Temple.

Pandit Iyothee Thassar

SOCIAL REFORMS:

Iyothee Thass was a forerunner of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and E.V. Ramasamy Periyar. He was the first Dalit to use Dravidian sentimental legacy to liberate Dalits from Hinduism. He did this based on his deep knowledge of Tamil history, culture and social dynamics. He was the first Dalit to realize the revolutionary legacy of Buddhism and to use Buddhism to create social change. While his movement did not transcend religion into a genuine spiritual movement, it had a tremendous impact in Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka. He created the first ideological media revolution, writing from his deep personal knowledge to enlighten Dalits on countless subjects. Still today, his writings are not properly compiled let alone translated. Iyothee Thass was also an intellectual revolutionary because while most Indians were running after Western knowledge or imagining airplanes and atoms in the Vedas and revived the Dravidian Siddha system of medicine. The Tamil Siddhas were among the most revolutionary poets in Indian history. Their strong assault on not just casteism but the very materialist mentality behind it has a powerful impact, even in translation, on any materialist, western or eastern. Iyothee Thass revived this anti-Brahminical medical knowledge system in the teeth of resistance from the Aryan, Ayurvedic establishment. 

His meeting with Olcott was a turning point not only in his life but also for the Dalit movement in many ways. He argued that Tamil Dalits were originally Buddhists. He led a delegation of prominent Dalits to Henry Steel Olcott and asked for his help in the re-establishment of "Tamil Buddhism". Olcott helped Thass to visit Sri Lanka, where he received Deeksha from Bhikkhu Sumangala Nayake. After returning to India, Thass established the ‘Sakya Buddhist Society’ in Madras with branches in many places including Karnataka. Thass established a weekly magazine called Oru Paisa Tamizhan ("One Paisa Tamilan") in Chennai on 19th June 1907 and its price was 'one paisa'. On 26th August 1908, the name, Oru Paisa Tamizhan, was changed into Tamizhan. He published Tamizhan from 1907 to 1914. From 17th June 1914 to 26th August 1915, Tamizhan was published by Wilson Patabiraman and then from 7th July 1926 to 27th June 1934, Kolar Goldvaiyal Pandithamani Appaduraiar published it, which served as a news letter linking all the new branches of the Sakya Buddhist Society. The magazine discussed traditions and practices of Tamil Buddhism, new developments in the Buddhist world, and the Indian subcontinent's history from the Buddhist point of view and edited it till his death in 1914. He established of several Panchama schools in Chennai. Iyothee Thass, with the help of Col. Olcott, set up five schools in the City, specifically for the Depressed Class. It was from these schools that the first generation of leaders and ideologues emerged. He focused on education and the land issue. He interpreted Indian history which can be classified as subaltern history in a true sense. Today even uttering the name of Iyothee Thass in the Tamil public sphere has become an act of a rebellion. the Dravida parties, Communists and Tamil rationalists. Nobody has any regard for Thass. He died in the year 1914. The Central Govt has decided to restore Iyothee Thass and name to “ The National Centre for Siddha research in Chennai”. Iyothee Thass's teachings nurtured and shaped the career of Rettamalai Srinivasan and M. C. Rajah in Tamil Nadu.

Books written:

He wrote 325 political, 55 literary, 51 social, 109 religious articles in Tamizhan. On 3rd February 1909, he wrote an article about voting right to minority. Iyothee Thass wrote several articles in the Tamizhan explaining the historical evolution of the society, religious traditions and cultural patterns of Tamil Nadu. Dalit political discourses dominated the columns of Tamizhan. These bring out a systematic argument of the first ever Depressed Class Ideology in Tamil Nadu. In Indirar Desa Charithram (History of the Country of Indrars), Iyothee Thass declared that in the past, the Subcontinent was known as 'Indirar Desam' or the 'Land of Indirar'. Indirar was none other than the Buddha who had managed to control his five senses successfully. His knowledge prompted him to arrive at the conclusion that the Panchamas were not Hindus but 'Adi Thamizharhal' (Original Tamils). Iyothee Thass also wrote at length on Buddhism, the life of Buddha, his readings, the dialogues he had with his disciples, and on the principles of faith and action which he upheld. He argued that the text, Thirukural, was originally known as Thiri-kural (thiri means three) and it was the first Buddhist Text in a Dravidian Language. The Kural content adhered to the three Pitakas of the Buddha's Teachings and hence it was known as the Thirukural. The idea of Communal Reservation was articulated in 1885 by him.

Thirikural and Pandit Iyothee Thass

Iyothee Thass and his Understanding of the History of this Nation (It is not India but Indira Desam):

Pandithar argues that Gowthama Buddha after his enlightenment taught the people of this nation the way of truth. Therefore, people of this nation celebrated the Buddha by calling Him as Varadhar and Baradhar and also they started calling the two parts of this nation as North Baradha Desam and South Baradha Desam. And the Buddha was called as the "Indirar" which would refer to the one who conquered the five senses. Thus, the way of the Buddha was called as Indira Thanmam, and the nation in which he was born was called as Indirar desam. Gradually this name "Indirar Desam" turned into be Indhiya Desam (North Indhiyam and South Indhiyam). Therefore, it is because of the Buddha this nation was called as Indirar Desam and there is no any other reason for this. But the Aryans who invaded this Indirar Desam never understood this history and they started calling them as Hindus and their religion as Hinduism. And more over they called themselves as Indians and those who are in India are Hindus alone. They even say now that it is from Hinduism, Buddhism was born and some of the Hindus only became Buddhists. Iyothee Thass would claim that the history of this nation was covered and therefore the Religion of this nation according to him is Indirar Dhammam (the way of the Indirar = the Buddha) and all the people of this nation are Indirars since they all followed the Indirar Dhammam. Hinduism had no roots in this Nation. Let us celebrate Iyothee Thass for this wonderful explanation and let us call ourselves as Indirars and this nation as Indira Desam.

Not A Single Photo of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar On The News Papers On Republic Day.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and Indian Constitution

Many time I was very frustrating to saw the news paper particularly on Republic day of India. Not a single photo of "Founding Father Of Modern India" Revolutionary Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, we can not see in News Paper. Are he not a Chief Architect of our Indian Constitution? Are he not a National Leader of this soil? What can we aspect from these Caste racist media and mental nation? After all this is the land of living the most brilliant Caste terrorists in the world. Here anyone can become a Mahatma by merely changing the dress. Anyone can became a Nationalist, If those filthy themselves called as higher section.
Babasaheb, why you born in this mental culture nation? You may be a highest Educated person in India till, you may be a Bar-at-Law, you may be a great Constitutionalist, Revolutionary, a Parliamentarian, Economist, Sociologist, Politician, Indian Jurist, Philosopher, Thinker, Anthropologist, Historian, Orator, Prolific writer, Social reformer, Feminist, Freedom Fighter, Social activist unto your death, No one recognizing you. So far in India, not such a person like you in various field of intellectual genius. You are only one in India with multi dimensional. Even though you proved yourself as a genius, your thoughts never received to Indian society just because you was born as an Untouchable to this Stupid mental blurred Indian Society. Your contribution in the various field to this nation is totally ignored and hiding. If you born in any other nation, they can pride you and has provided countless awards. After all you born in India. Even your portrait was not in Parliament of India until 1990. Thank to great Prime minister of India V.P. Singh for placed Dr. Babasaheb portrait in Indian Parliament. Though I never proud for born in India, On one thing I thank to Babasaheb who gave 'Equality, Liberty, Fraternity' based Democracy in India irrespective of Caste, Class, gender and religion. Wishing you all happy 64th Republic day of India and one of the great historical event in History of India that Constitution of India came into effect. Although India attained independence on August 15, 1947 but till 1949 it didn't have a permanent constitution of its own and not functioning under the laws enacted. After many amendments the Constitution was approved and Revolutionary Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar presented the draft Constitution was accepted on November 26, 1949. Then it was adopted by the Constituent Assembly in the name of the people of India that came into force on January 26, 1950 marking the beginning of a new era in the history of India. For making Constitution of India, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was appointed as chairmen of the Drafting committee constituted by the Assembly a greatest ultimate Brilliant Lawyer in India. It was not a simple work but to sculpt the big mountain to share all people rights equally. Many fellows wrongly thought that Babasaheb's inclusion into constituent assembly was by Mr. M K Gandhi. But the entry of Dr. Babasaheb was mainly due to his professional approach, his excellent knowledge of constitution and his great work in "States and Minorities" which is a part foundation of our constitution today and his love over Our Nation. The Indian Constitution is greatly influenced by his revolutionary ideas and thoughts. Even The Congress and Gandhi’s Constitution Chairman was Malavankar or someone else from the Congress or Foreign constitutional experts, as its clear that Dr. Babasaheb was not even the last recommended person by Congress or Gandhi. After the completion of his work, Dr. Babasaheb said "I feel the Constitution is workable; it is flexible and it is strong enough to hold the country together both in peace time and in war time". He provided an inspiring Preamble to the Constitution as justice, social, economic, political, liberty, equality and fraternity.
T. T. Krishnamachari in his speech in Constituent assembly, "Out of the seven members selected to prepare the draft constitution, one resigned, one died, one left for America, one was busy with his work in princely state, one or two live away from Delhi, some had to be excused for health reasons, Dr. Ambedkar was the only one who had to bear the burnt." The First President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, praised the services rendered by Dr. Babasaheb, "I have carefully watched the day-to-day activities from the presidential seat. Therefore, I appreciate more than others with how much dedication and vitality this task has been carried out by the Drafting Committee and by its chairman Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar in particular. We never did a better thing than having Dr. Ambedkar on the Drafting Committee and selecting him as its chairman."
In his historic speech, "I shall not therefore enter into the merits of the Constitution. Because I feel, however good a Constitution may be, it is sure to turn out bad because those who are called to work it, happen to be a bad lot. However bad a Constitution may be, it may turn out to be good if those who are called to work it, happen to be a good lot. The working of a Constitution does not depend wholly upon the nature of the Constitution. The Constitution can provide only the organs of State such as the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary. The factors on which the working of those organs of the State depend are the people and the political parties they will set up as their instruments to carry out their wishes and their politics. Who can say how the people of India and their parties will behave ? Will they uphold constitutional methods of achieving their purposes or will they prefer revolutionary methods of achieving them ? If they adopt the revolutionary methods; however good the Constitution may be, it requires no prophet to say that it will fail. It is, therefore, futile to pass any judgement upon the Constitution without reference to the part which the people and their parties are likely to play. The constitution I offered, may be good or bad, it will depend on how the men in office use it. India lost its independence because one of us, one in power, betrayed". Then he cited the examples of betrayals in the history and urged, "We must spend the last drop of blood to defend the freedom of our country". The Columbia University at its Special convocation on June 5, 1952 conferred the LL.D. degree (Honoris Causa) to Babasaheb in recognition of his drafting the "Constitution of India."The University hailed him as One of India’s leading citizens, a great social reformer and valiant upholder of human rights".
