Ambedkar and social justice

Scientists observed long back that one determining factor of forward flow of time is in crease in entropy or chaos. The chaos can only be reduced or regulated through the applica tion of external energy. This principle has been found true for society as well.

With the passage of time customs, moral values which had been framed suiting the then existing environs run into chaos and deterio rate to the detriment of general populace and to the exploitable advantage of a few.

Casteism has been the most exploitable chaos in Indian society. Many great personali ties in India worked against it, but the most effective and forceful of them was Dr. Ambedkar. He himself belonged to the Dalit class. An able Barrister and highly educated person, he not only felt the pain of the Dalits but confidently

tried to remedy it and succeeded remarkably. He brought about a social revolution in this direction and made the then leadership and government feel that he was not a beggar but was fighting for the rights of the dalits.

Dr. Ambedkar's life as a dalit was beset with Himalayan difficulties and barriers; it was more or less a series of struggles against the stu pidities that cursed and conditioned society had built up down the centuries to deprive human being of their legitimate basic human rights of equality, fraternity, liberty and justice, which was a stupendous and Herculean task.
