Dr. B. R. Ambedkar's 127th Birth Anniversary Celebration

Dr. Ambedkar’s 127th Birthday Celebration - Social Justice in the Neo-Liberal Era.

Speakers from various organizations presented their views on how social justice is being denied in the current economic situation. The audience participated in an open forum question-and-answer session, which was the best part of all, with the right questions and forceful answers. AKSC joined hands with many organizations to pull this program together at Stanford University.

The flyer carried Ambedkar’s warning to the Constituent Assembly:

On the 26th of January 1950, we are going to enter into a life of contradictions. In politics, we will have equality and in social and economic life, we will have inequality. In politics, we will be recognizing the principle of one man one vote and one vote one value. In our social and economic life, we shall, by reason of our social and economic structure, continue to deny the principle of one man one value. How long shall we continue to live this life of contradictions? How long shall we continue to deny equality in our social and economic life? If we continue to deny it for long, we will do so only by putting our political democracy in peril. We must remove this contradiction at the earliest possible moment or else those who suffer from inequality will blow up the structure of political democracy which this Assembly has so laboriously built up.
