Question

What anxiety did Ambedkar state in his concluding speech to the Constituent Assembly?

Answer 1

(i) In his concluding speech to the Constituent Assembly Dr. B.R. Ambedkar stated his anxiety over the unequal status of the dalits. He said that in politics the dalits would definitely enjoy equality but in social and economic life they would have inequality.
(ii) In politics they would be recognising the principle of one man one vote and one vote one value. But in their social and economic life, they would continue to deny the principle of one man one value.
(iii) In this way, they would continue to live a life of contradictions. Naturally they needed equality in social as well as economic life.
