B R Ambedkar Quotes | If you are from India, then you must have heard the name of this great man. His name is Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. He is also known as B R Ambedkar, Baba Ambedkar.
He was born in the Mau place of Madhya Pradesh, India. He is also called the leader of the Dalit people because he also did a lot of work for the Dalit people. (Dalit means untouchable.)
Ambedkar was born in a Dalit Mahar family. His father was an officer in the Indian army. Ambedkar also experienced caste discrimination in his childhood.
B R Ambedkar was a very educated person. He also did his studies in Britain, America, Germany. He was also given a scholarship by Gaekwar, the ruler of Vadodara. And at his behest, Ambedkar joined Baroda Public Service. But there, too, was a lot of discrimination with them, so he had to leave. After that, he worked in legal work.
In 1947, Ambedkar became the Law Minister of the Government of India. Ambedkar had made the constitution of India. He had already seen the discrimination in caste in his life, so he also made some laws for this. He resigned from his post in 1951.
Even today, we thank B.R. Ambedkar, who helped the poor people a lot. In this article, we will read some priceless thoughts and quotes of Ambedkar.
Br Ambedkar Quotes

“Caste is a state of mind. It is a disease of mind. The teachings of the Hindu religion are the root cause of this disease. We practice casteism and we observe Untouchability because we are enjoined to do so by the Hindu religion. A bitter thing cannot be made sweet. The taste of anything can be changed. But poison cannot be changed into nectar.”
– B.R. Ambedkar

“Freedom of mind is the real freedom. A person whose mind is not free though he may not be in chains, is a slave, not a free man. One whose mind is not free, though he may not be in prison, is a prisoner and not a free man. One whose mind is not free though alive, is no better than dead. Freedom of mind is the proof of one’s existence.”
– B.R. Ambedkar
“My final words of advice to you are educate, agitate and organize; have faith in yourself. With justice on our side I do not see how we can loose our battle. The battle to me is a matter of joy. The battle is in the fullest sense spiritual. There is nothing material or social in it. For ours is a battle not for wealth or for power. It is battle for freedom. It is the battle of reclamation of human personality.”
– B.R. Ambedkar

“My definition of democracy is – A form and a method of Government whereby revolutionary changes in the social life are brought about without bloodshed. That is the real test.

– B.R. Ambedkar
“We must begin by acknowledging that there is a complete absence of two things in Indian Society. One of these is equality. On the social plane we have an India based on the principles of graded inequality, which means elevation for some and degradation for others. On the economic plane we have a society in which there are some who have immense wealth as against many who live in abject poverty.”
– B.R. Ambedkar

– B.R. Ambedkar
“It is disgraceful to live at the cost of one’s self-respect. Self-respect is the most vital factor in life. Without it, man is a cipher. To live worthily with self-respect, one has to overcome difficulties. It is out of hard and ceaseless struggle alone that one derives strength, confidence and recognition.”
– B.R. Ambedkar
