https://www.dailypioneer.com/2025/columnists/gandhi---s-morality-and-ambedkar---s-modernity.html "Gandhi’s morality and Ambedkar’s modernity" Monday, 21 April 2025 | Rajdeep Pathak "Their intellectual confrontation over caste, untouchability, and the foundational principles of Indian democracy transcended individual differences, revealing two fundamentally distinct approaches — Gandhi’s moral and spiritual call for societal reform and Ambedkar’s insistence on structural, legal, and institutional transformation. This critical debate not only shaped the trajectory of modern India but continues to resonate deeply in contemporary discourses on social justice and democratic reform. Whereas in colonial India, caste discrimination was not only a social evil but a systemic instrument of oppression, both Mahatma Gandhi and Dr B R Ambedkar recognised this, but they approached the problem from fundamentally different perspectives. While Gandhi symbolised a moral and spiritual appeal to Indian society to transform itself, Dr Ambedkar demanded structural, legal, and institutional change for the emancipation of Dalits." "The Gandhi-Ambedkar debate remains a vital and ongoing discourse, symbolising India’s struggle for justice and equality. Dr B R Ambedkar’s anniversary reflects a movement for dignity and rights, while Gandhi’s ideals inspire ethical, sustainable living aligned with the SDGs. It is important to look at whether as a progressive society, we are moving in the right direction." more

This is how the schemes for underprivileged and needy are cornered by 'New Satraps of Democracy'. There are many cases of children of SC/ST - IAS officers still taking benefits of reservation policy instead of giving opportunity to less resourced from their communities. Is it not a shameful act? Does it not amount to misuse of the intent with which Hon B R Ambedkar fought for the communities? more
