If you study carefully, you will see that Buddhism is based on reason. There is an element of flexibility inherent in it, which is not found in any other religion.

More quotes by B. R. Ambedkar
The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.
B. R. Ambedkar
Indians today are governed by two different ideologies. Their political ideal set in the preamble of the Constitution affirms a life of liberty, equality and fraternity. Their social ideal embodied in their religion denies 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
A bitter thing cannot be made sweet. The taste of anything can be changed. But poison cannot be changed into nectar
B. R. Ambedkar
Religion must mainly be a matter of principles only. It cannot be a matter of rules. The moment it degenerates into rules, it ceases to be a religion, as it kills responsibility which is an essence of the true religious act.
B. R. Ambedkar
Freedom of mind is the proof of one's existence.
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
I prefer Buddhism because it gives three principles in combination, which no other religion does. This is what man wants for a good and happy life. Neither god nor soul can save society.
B. R. Ambedkar
Learn to live in this world with self-respect.
B. R. Ambedkar
Democracy is not a form of government, but a form of social organisation.
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
In Hinduism, conscience, reason and independent thinking have no scope for development.
B. R. Ambedkar
Equality may be a fiction but nonetheless one must accept it as a governing principle.
B. R. Ambedkar
Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.
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
A people and their religion must be judged by social standards based on social ethics. No other standard would have any meaning if religion is held to be necessary good for the well-being of the people.
B. R. Ambedkar
Religion is for man and not man for religion
B. R. Ambedkar
I want all people to be Indians first, Indian last and nothing else but Indians.
B. R. Ambedkar
If I find the constitution being misused, I shall be the first to burn it.
B. R. Ambedkar
The question is not whether a community lives or dies, the question is on what plane does it live? There are different modes of survival. But all are not equally honorable.
B. R. Ambedkar
