5/8

Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was born in an untouchable

family and subjected to consistent caste based

discrimination by the Hindu society, became first talented

person of the world as per the analysis made by CambridgeUniversity, London. Eventually, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar

gained a reputation as a world scholar and advocated

political and social rights and freedoms for untouchables.

He is regarded as a Bodhisattva by Buddhists, though he

never claimed himself to be a Bodhisattva. Ambedkar

emerged as a powerful jurist, political leader, Buddhistactivist, philosopher, thinker, anthropologist, historian,

orator, prolific writer, economist, scholar, editor,

revolutionary and a revivalist for Buddhism in India. He

was the chief architect of the Indian Constitution. Dr. B. R.

Ambedkar was posthumously awarded the Bharatratna,

India's highest civilian award, in 1990. So, the present

seminar is an attempt to critically evaluate the relevance of

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar's vision and mission in present

scenario and to prepare an extensive vision and mission

document for the times to come. Thus, the objective of the

seminar as follows:1. To understand the vision and mission of Dr. B. R.

Ambedkar.

2. To promote the ideas on social, economic,

political, religious, human rights & constitutional

reforms by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.

education (higher, professional & technical) &

weaker sections of the society.

4. To explore the potentiality in Ambedkarism in

Literature to strengthen the society and Indiannational spirit.

AIM & OBJECTIVES

OF THE SEMINAR

I know today we are divided politically,

socially and economically. We are in warring

camps and I am probably one of the leaders of a

warring camp. But with all this I am convinced

that, given time and circumstances, nothing in the

world will prevent this country from becomingone, and, with all our castes and creeds, I have not

hesitation in saying that we shall in some form be

a united people".

---Dr. B. R. Ambedkar
