Granted, that Dr Ambedkar was born and raised in relative privilege and was later supported by affluent people. Still, how many Dalits born and raised in privilege (say, children of IAS and IPS officers) go on to achieve what Ambedkar did? What truly set him apart was not only his intelligence but moral courage and complete dedication to his mission. Raj

Mr. Teltumde is an average intellect, and many of the things he said can be easily dismissed. However, here are two points that even a five-year-old child would disagree with. First, he mentioned a loophole in fundamental rights. He seems to have forgotten that India is a diverse country in many aspects, and to keep this country united, we need a strong central government. As Dr. Ambedkar said, the success and failure of the Constitution lies in the hands of those in power. Due to the absence of ethics in the core values of then and now politicians has made the tourch bearers fundamental rights suffer. Second, he claimed that Dr. Ambedkar didn't do much to eradicate casteism. Mr. Teltumde seems to have an average memory, as he has overlooked the fact that many reformers have come and gone, but none could destroy the fabric of casteism in India. In fact, whenever anyone attempted to challenge casteism, its roots grew deeper, and its grip became stronger. Dr. Ambedkar understood this reality, which is why he chose to embrace Buddhism whose core is ethics. For Scheduled Caste (SC) communities that embraced Buddhism, caste has become irrelevant, but for SCs who remain Hindus, caste and sub-caste continue to hold relevance.

It’s not enough just to be critical or harsh on someone who lived and chose to live among hardships and suffering for others. It was not an easy battle that Dr Ambedkar had undertaken. He took the pain and time to find out the solution and to understand the issue thoroughly. His engagement and commitment to ameliorate the conditions of the dalits is very much understandable and visible to those who can be honest in their feelings. If he had to see his loved family members and friends pass away and continue to work for the upliftment of the untouchables, that can’t make him ‘selfish’ even in (y)our thoughts. He had options like staying or settling abroad. But he chose the painful and hardest path and continued to work till his death. He read and wrote while being bedridden. For whom? That he wanted to be great? If the constitution wasn’t completely his own creation, whose ideas do you see in that? Who had that understanding towards the untouchables and other minorities in India? You make an effort to read and know the philosophies of those involved in making it, and publish such a book. You cannot be greater by just criticizing a great personality. You must do greater things for that and let others decide it. Dr Ambedkar’s work and struggle is not just visible in his words, it is also evident in his actions! However, I do feel no one should be disrespected or punished for expressing their views. And I do stand with Mr. Teltumbde and oppose the fascist forces working against freedom of speech.

This 100% reservations will be in education, employments, politics & entrepreneurship at least for next 50 years by that time all the sections of society will be representing in every section. Once this happens, there will be equal opportunities & level playing field all all , at that time reservations should be stopped and automatically there will be annihilation of caste as well.

Worshipping Ambedkar was the only thing that kept him alive and relevant in the Amberkarite community. Worshipping him as idol was the inspiration for the children raised as neo Buddhists first generation. Otherwise Congress and other parties had made all the efforts to erase his legacy. That is the reason why other SCs failed to embrace him. Criticizing the people who worshipping him as Idol is the elitist attitude and age old conspiracy. Mr. Teltumbade is the flag bearer of those toxic liberals and communist elites. Thats why he is hated immensely among his own people.

First of all, Mr. Teltumbde fails to make his position clear to his audience or the masses. Sometimes, he makes us believe that he is a hard-core Marxist, while at other times, he makes us wonder why he behaves like an Ambedkarite (what Das Kapital is to capitalists, Annihilation of Caste is to Hindus). Mr. Teltumbde could simply place himself in the category of a researcher. He should not attempt to become an enigmatic personality while criticizing Babasaheb. In the very first question, he failed to clarify his stance (he gave a rather unconvincing answer). Toward the end of the interview, when asked about his imprisonment, he appeared uncomfortable, and his responses were disorganized and incoherent. He can only romanticize the revolution proposed by Marx. Reading extensively on Marxism without contributing anything concrete is of no value. On the other hand, Babasaheb not only had a profound grasp of Marxist principles but also deeply understood their foundational ideas. Through firsthand experience, Sahab observed that Marxism, in its pure form, could not address the unique social realities of India, where caste hierarchies remain deeply entrenched, and true class consciousness is far from a reality. This realization led him to conclude that Marxism could not be applied in toto in a country like India (a point thoughtfully explained in Buddha or Karl Marx), where there is a gradation of people based on birth-a division of laborers that seems acceptable to Mr. Teltumbde. At the same time, Sahab acknowledged the transformative potential of Marxist ideas. He sought to bring about revolution and social change skillfully and thoughtfully by incorporating Communist principles (drawn from the Buddha's Sangha) into the Indian Constitution. Sahab was the one who founded the Independent Labour Party, introduced numerous progressive labor laws, and shared these ideas with the masses in a refined form through Buddha and His Dhamma. Sahab upheld the highest ideals and was a revolutionary in his own right. Even Mr. Teltumbde does not deny his revolutionary ideas and his opposition to the unjust ideals of Hindu society. His bitter experience of the 1932 Poona Pact brought a blend of revolution and pragmatism into his thinking. He neither imposed hard terms that could not be accepted nor waited passively for the savarnas to change their hearts. While working with the government, he ensured policy-level changes for the proletariat. As chairman of the Drafting Committee, he implemented structural reforms to uplift Dalits-reforms that enabled someone like me, a tea seller's son who studied at a ZP school, to critique Mr. Teltumbde today. Despite all of this, we still encounter individuals like Mr. Teltumbde-pseudo-intellectuals-emerging with misguided critiques. I truly struggle to understand the intent behind such baseless arguments. Is it to provoke controversy, or is it a failure to grasp the profound legacy of Babasaheb Ambedkar - a legacy that continues to inspire millions across the globe?
