Today was the great day of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar to remember him. I read an Article in newspaper and so came to knew about it. I have a great respect for late Dr. Ambedkar. He is the "writer" of our Indian Constituency and we all must have a great respect for him. He was very famous for his work for Dalit class of out society ,which was always a ignored class. But, due to his work for upliftment of Dalit class, he become GOD for them as well as for us too. I remember certain reference in my history book about his battle against the "Fair" class of society .
Since morning i was under the same state of remembering him and so do Dalit class.But, they have a different views of remembering him.. While coming back from office ,it was 8.30 and so, i was expecting a thin traffic on roads. But, that was not a right judgement of mine for a day.As all the roads to my home have a prominent Dalit-living area, they were blocked. Yes, literally every road was blocked due to "mandaps" of these dalit groups and every mandap sported a Big walls of music systems and a loud music was played on them.
To add in confusion were the usual Puneits on their vehicles in EXTRA hurry to reach home .so, every one was trying to get ahead of other ,creating a total mess. Oh and i pitied those Police mam's who were trying their best to control the traffic situation and also were trying to pull together the crowd dancing madly before mandaps.
As,i was analyzing the whole mess, i saw a Lady sitting beside the mandap looking at every one ,and trying to earn her bread and butter by begging. I was shattered to see the total opposite pictures.
Several questions popped up in my mind.. do these Dalit people are really remembering the great Dr. Ambedkar?? Do they really know him?? Do they even know his work for them?? and if they don't, why not they try to do that?
I don't think, any of my questions will be answered. So, with a frustrated mind ,i am finishing this post with a lot of re grate and helplessness.
