More quotes by B. R. Ambedkar
In Hinduism, conscience, reason and independent thinking have no scope for development.
B. R. Ambedkar
The sovereignty of scriptures of all religions must come to an end if we want to have a united integrated modern India.
B. R. Ambedkar
Religion is for man and not man for religion
B. R. Ambedkar
Men are mortal. So are ideas. An idea needs propagation as much as a plant needs watering. Otherwise both will wither and die.
B. R. Ambedkar
History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict, victory is always with economics. Vested interests have never been known to have willingly divested themselves unless there was sufficient force to compel them.
B. R. Ambedkar
A great man is different from an eminent one in that he is ready to be the servant of the society.
B. R. Ambedkar

B. R. Ambedkar
I want all people to be Indians first, Indian last and nothing else but Indians.
B. R. Ambedkar

B. R. Ambedkar
If I find the constitution being misused, I shall be the first to burn it.
B. R. Ambedkar
Political tyranny is nothing compared to the social tyranny and a reformer who defies society is a more courageous man than a politician who defies Government.
B. R. Ambedkar
Learn to live in this world with self-respect.
B. R. Ambedkar
Man is mortal. Everyone has to die some day or the other. But one must resolve to lay down one's life in enriching the noble ideals of self-respect and in bettering one's human life. We are not slaves. Nothing is more disgraceful for a brave man than to live life devoid of self-respect.
B. R. Ambedkar
My definition of democracy is - A form and a method of Government whereby revolutionary changes in the social life are brought about without bloodshed. That is the real test. It is perhaps the severest test. But when you are judging the quality of the material you must put it to the severest test.
B. R. Ambedkar
Democracy is not a form of government, but a form of social organisation.
B. R. Ambedkar
For an individual as well as for a society, there is a gulf between merely living and living worthily.
B. R. Ambedkar
The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.
B. R. Ambedkar
Lost rights are never regained by appeals to the conscience of the usurpers, but by relentless struggle....goa ts are used for sacrificial offerings and not lions.
B. R. Ambedkar
The basic idea underlying religion is to create an atmosphere for the spiritual development of the individual. This being the situation, it is clear that you cannot develop your personality at all in Hinduism.
B. R. Ambedkar
Equality may be a fiction but nonetheless one must accept it as a governing principle.
