As someone relatively new to India, learning about Dr. Ambedkar has been fascinating. The fact that a school named 'Rangoli International' had students give speeches shows how deeply his legacy is woven into the nation's fabric, from local to global perspectives. A true nation-builder.
Jai Bhim! A fitting tribute. While the ceremonies are important, I hope this remembrance translates into concrete action for the marginalized communities he fought for. The real tribute would be ensuring every child has access to the education he championed.
Good to see the event. But respectfully, these tributes sometimes feel performative. Are we doing enough to live up to the Constitution he gave us? The principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity need daily practice, not just annual garlands.
The architect of our nation. His work laid the foundation for the India we live in today. It's great that school students are involved – the younger generation must know about his struggle and his genius. 🇮🇳
A man who rose against immense adversity to give us a framework for a democratic republic. His life is an inspiration. The "Jai Bhim" slogans at the garden must have been a powerful moment. We need more of his ideals in our public discourse.
