Since you quoted Babaseheb to prove who was against the constitution let me tell you who else was against it- VD Savarkar, the RSS, Golwalkar, and even the ‘moderate’ Deen Dayak Upadhyaya. Now we will come to what Babaseheb said. But before that, you justified Hindutva ... 1/9

...as the sociopolitico response to save Hinduism.Babaseheb said that the very“Hinduism”your Hindutva is trying to militantly protect”is a veritable chamber of horrors for the untouchables”as seen in Hathras even now. It’s this lack of mention of Hindu rules as mentioned in...2/9
... manusmriti that led the above mentioned Hindutva leaders to criticize the constitution. Babasheb also said that if by converting by force Mohammedans were cruel, the Hindus have been mean; and meanness is worse than cruelty. He went on to say that “ I have no hesitation...3/9
... in saying that such a religion must be destroyed” in that case you wouldn’t need the socio-politico-terrorist manifestation of Hindutva at all. And to come to your food fascism about beef, he said “ ..if beef-eating had remained a secular affair - a mere matter..4/9
...of individual taste- such a bar between who ate beef and those who didn’t would not have arisen. Unfortunately, beef-eating, instead of being treated as a purely secular matter, was made a matter of religion. ..This made beef-eating a sacrilege. “He decried the Hindutva...5/9
...food fascism and said, “It divided the society as nothing else did before”.So when you quote Babaseheb Ambedkar, remember that he stood against all that you stand for.Your leaders stood against the secular constitution he gave us and wanted a ‘Hindu Pakistan’ that treated..6/9
...minorities as second class citizens, the Hindu rashtra which was homogenized and if left to Golwalkar, minorities eliminated in the Nazi style that he admired. The secular constitution drafted by Dr. Ambedkar ensured its secular nature and gives every citizen the right...7/9
... to contest & vote.With equal rights & value to each individual unlike the hierarchical societal definition enshrined in manusmriti that your leaders wanted to be incorporated in the constitution in the name of Hindu civilization. So don’t glorify & inject the Hindutva...8/9
... venom that stands to polarize and divide the nation. ‘Divide et impera’ was what Britishers did, & that’s what you are doing today. The worry is that you may succeed with your chest thumping & inflammatory speeches. The nation will suffer. So, it’s a request. Don’t. 9/9
