Since, we are coming close to the birthday of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (BRA), it is a good time to post excerpts from the masterclass work by Shri. Arun Shourie unmasking BRA:
"Worshipping False Gods: Ambedkar, and the Facts which Have Been Erased" Image
Starts off by squarely bringing light to the fact that, BRA had zero contribution to the freedom struggle. If anything, he was among those who vigorously opposed and cheered for setbacks to the freedom movement! Image
BRA wanted British to stay back. According to him, it was because of the untouchables in the British army, that the British were able to conquer India! Would be nice to see reaction of BRA fanboy "Dalits" who think of him and themselves as freedom fighters! Image
BRA not only supported the British, he was willing to ally with the Muslim League to oppose the nationalist Congress. The following excerpt is regarding the general elections of 1937: Image
When later in 1939, Congress resigned because of British refusal to grant Independence, BRA was enjoying celebrating this defeat of Congress! Image
Well, can't really argue with this actually! It was indeed the fight by Hindus for their freedom! Image
He was clearly allergic to the nationalist Congress and wanted to divide Hindus into caste and class-based conflicts. Of course to serve the benefit of the British Image
BRA had severe allergy to "rank Hindu communalism" of Congress which was hiding "it in its cloak of nationalism"! In fact, he was speaking the language of the Xtian missionaries! Image
"Untouchability" on one day, "they want to sleep with our wives" on another day. Clearly he was playing his part to sow the seeds of fracturing Hindu society. His description of Brahmins and Baniyas is indeed vivid. What a clown country that he's praised for all kinds of virtues! Image
He outrightly equates Hinduism with Nazism! How convenient to justify the foreign occupation of Hindus! Image
Repeatedly he tries to sow seeds of enmity between Hindu castes and to mollycoddle British to receive this patronage! Requesting for communal electorate was one such example which would inevitably lead to a total fracture of a society. Image
He actually did not want a Constituent Assembly at all. He wanted some British/US lawyer to make constitution! And here too creating divisions by talking about concerns of "minorities"! Image
BRA and British had no divergence of opinions. BRA had promised the British that he would oppose Indian freedom by any means possible. Image
Hand-in-hand with Muslim League throughout. And adept in creating atrocity literature to further the narrative of his British masters, and thereby fragment Hindu society. Image
BRA had chalked out plans of "Dalitstan" way before RM wrote about it in "Breaking India"! Truly a pioneer in that sense! Image
BRA continued his attempts to make separate SC electorates right till the last moment, playing to the tunes of his masters, like the loyal servant he was. Image
However, SCs thrased BRA's party in the 1946 elections to the dust and supported Congress. Image
Now what does he do? He obviously goes running to his masters like a loyal dog, and starts begging for positions in committees which would be formed in the Interim government! If there is got be a face for shamelessness, it had to be BRA! Even his masters felt embarrassed! Image
He did not even seat to claim a place in the Constituent Assembly. It was only due to a rather misplaced generosity of Congress that BRA even got a seat there! Image
By sheer large-heartedness of the same upper caste Hindus he was bashing throughout his life, BRA was given the Chairmanship of the Drafting Committee! This huge gas bag of lies is pushed down the throats of Hindus as a big hero! Image

In one instance in the Parliament, BRA says he shall be the first person to burn the Constitution, suggesting perhaps his role in the making of the Constitution. Image
In another occasion in the parliament, BRA says "with a certain amount of pride" that "Constitution is a wonderful document"! What explains this abrupt changes in his opinion? Doesn't it show a man who switches positions according to his convenience and whims? Image
Earlier, BRA had given his arguments why we do not need any Constituent Assembly in the first place. This is what he said in the All India Scheduled Class Federation in Bombay on 6 May, 1945, regarding the unnecessity of a new Constitution: Image

BRA raises issue of temple entry, and when Hindus agree to remove such restrictions, he cries about possibility of removal of reservations! Basically, he doesn't want Untouchables to blend in the Hindu society. He wanted continuous extraction of benefits while blackmailing Hindus Image
And all the problems plaguing "untouchables" had only one solution according to BRA: RESERVATIONS! Image
Shri. Arun Shourie makes some really insightful analysis of BRA's legacy on Indian society. Especially - "Mediocrity as the norm, repudiation of standards themselves as elitist, civility itself as a camouflage of the privileged, vulgarity as right, intimidation as argument"! Image

While nationalist leaders of the Freedom Struggle were working for revival of the ancient perennial Hindu civilization, BRA did not even consider India to be a nation. Particularly, "Untouchables" were a separate element, just like Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, etc. Image
According to BRA, at best, the Scheduled Castes belonged a different religion, somewhat similar to Hinduism. He also couldn't help but acknowledge that the same deities are worshipped by all Hindus, including Untouchables. Image
This outright traitor of the nation, who spewed such venom on Hinduism, has been conferred the award of Bharat Ratna, and praised as a national leader, in a Hindu majority country! All his arguments were a case of making arguments to defend one's thesis, not to stick to reality. Image

Why do today's Hindutva leaders talk about BRA in such high regard? Along with being in sync with Muslim demands, his constant attempt was to permanently severe the Hindu society into pieces!
BRA never stopped his bootlicking of Britishers in hope of an important position in their government.
Giving him a position in the Executive Council of the Viceroy to play to the tunes of the British was the greatest act of helping Scheduled Castes according to BRA! Clearly he was a megalomaniac who replaced this personal benefit with helping the masses!
