Shifting of Ambedkar statue draws court's ire


Shifting of Ambedkar statue draws court's ire







CHENNAI: Denouncing the attempt to confine a statue of BR Ambedkar to a Dalit locality, the Madras HC said it was highly deplorable that a
national leader was sought to be considered leader of a single community.

The matter relates to an Ambedkar statue installed at Pazhaiya Pattinam village in Cuddalore district. Owing to objections from a community, the statue was sought to be removed. Following this, a public interest writ petition was filed by a villager seeking to restrain the authorities from relocating the statue.

Denouncing the attempt by some villagers and authorities to confine a statue of B R Ambedkar to a Dalit locality, the Madras high court said it was highly deplorable that a national leader was sought to be considered a leader of a community.

The unpublished preface by Dr B R Ambedkar for the book " Buddha and His Dhamma"

 



UNPUBLISHED PREFACE
April 6, 1956
[Text provided by Eleanor Zelliot, as prepared by Vasant Moon]



A question is always asked to me: how I happen[ed] to take such [a] high degree of education. Another question is being asked: why I am inclined towards Buddhism. These questions are asked because I was born in a community known in India as the "Untouchables." This preface is not the place for answering the first question. But this preface may be the place for answering the second question.
The direct answer to this question is that I regard the Buddha's Dhamma to be the best. No religion can be compared to it. If a modern man who knws science must have a religion, the only religion he can have is the Religion of the Buddha. This conviction has grown in me after thirty-five years of close study of all religions.
How I was led to study Buddhism is another story. It may be interesting for the reader to know. This is how it happened.
My father was a military officer, but at the same time a very religious person. He brought me up under a strict discipline. From my early age I found certain contradictions in my father's religious way of life. He was a Kabirpanthi, though his father was Ramanandi. As such, he did not believe in Murti Puja (Idol Worship), and yet he performed Ganapati Puja--of course for our sake, but I did not like it. He read the books of his Panth. At the same time, he compelled me and my elder brother to read every day before going to bed a portion of [the] Mahabharata and Ramayana to my sisters and other persons who assembled at my father's house to hear the Katha. This went on for a long number of years.
