Fighting inequality would be the best tribute to him - Kashmir Times: As we celebrate Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar's birth anniversary, we need to imbibe his important motto- Educate, Organise. Agitate. As Karl Marx said philosophers have interpreted the world in different ways. The point is to change it.
This is the most important heritage of Dr Ambedkar, changing the world. One of the great advantages of Dr Ambedkar's teachings was the tremendous awakening he created among Dalits, especially in Maharashtra. It led to a creation of very vibrant Dalit writing. I notice that Dalits are very well read, much better read than people from many communities, they have a real hunger for knowledge, they read, analyse. This is all because of the heritage of Dr Ambedkar.
He had a vision for a better world. We too need to fight to achieve that kind of a society. The capitalists have created their own vision for their advancement. They are powerful, they have planners and money to buy people, land. We have to create expertise to challenge this anti- people vision of capitalists. For example we can create an alternative transport system, it can be done at very little expense. We don't need those fancy, expensive schemes at all.
Mahatma Gandhi was essentiall
