New Delhi: In a tribute that underscored the enduring legacy of Bhim Rao Ambedkar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the profound impact of Ambedkar’s life and teachings on India’s pursuit of social justice. Celebrating Ambedkar Jayanti, Modi emphasized how the nation’s commitment to realizing social justice is deeply rooted in the inspiration drawn from Ambedkar.
Ambedkar’s influence extends far beyond his remarkable personal journey. He is celebrated as a champion of Scheduled Castes and as the architect of India’s Constitution, which enshrines the principles of equality and justice. Born into a Dalit family in 1891, Ambedkar faced discrimination, which only deepened his resolve to challenge societal norms. He went on to become India’s first law minister, leaving an indelible mark on the nation’s legal and social fabric.
Prime Minister Modi underscored that Ambedkar’s principles not only guide India’s journey towards social justice but will also accelerate the nation’s progress towards becoming self-reliant and developed. Ambedkar’s lifelong struggle for the empowerment of marginalized communities continues to inspire generations. His pivotal role in drafting the Constitution has cemented his position as one of India’s most revered figures. Modi emphasized that embracing Ambedkar’s vision is crucial for fostering a more equitable society, reflecting a commitment that transcends political boundaries.
