Dr. B. R. Ambedkar on Republic Day
(26th January)
On 26th January 1950, we are going
to enter into a life of contradictions.
In politics, we will have equality and
in 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 else those who
suffer from inequality will blow up the
structure of democracy which this
Constituent Assembly has so
laboriously built up.
"I feel that the constitution is
workable, it is flexible and it is strong
enough to hold the country together
both in peacetime and in wartime.
Indeed, if I may say so, if things go
wrong under the new Constitution,
the reason will not be that we had a
bad Constitution. What we will have
to say is that Man was vile."
"There is no nation of Indians in the
real sense of the world, it is yet to be
created. In believing we are a nation,
we are cherishing a great delusion.
How can people divided into thousand
of castes be a nation? The sooner we
realise that we are not yet a nation, in
a social and psychological sense of
the world, the better for us."
"Independence is no doubt a matter
of joy. But let us not forget that this
independence has thrown on us
greater responsibilities. By
independence, we have lost the
excuse of blaming the British for
anything going wrong. If hereafter
things go wrong, we will have nobody
to blame except ourselves. There is a
greater danger of things going wrong.
Times are fast changing,"
"Our object in framing the
Constitution is rally two-fold: (1) To
lay down the form of political
democracy, and (2) To lay down that
our ideal is economic democracy and
also to prescribe that every
Government whatever is in power
shall strive to bring about economic
democracy. The directive principles
have a great value, for they lay down
that our ideal is economic democracy.
