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!
BRA was however but one of the pawns in the grand scheme which the British were playing to incite separatist tendencies present in other communities such as the Sikhs.
The same approach was afloat with respect to "Tribals/Vanavasis" as well. The plan was clear:
Detachement from Hinduism -> Easy of getting preys for missionaries --> Strengthening the influence of British in the Indian society throw these converts.
And BRA was a suitable instrument for the British to push their agenda with respect to the Schedules Castes.
Along with BRA other such 'Sepoys' such as Jogendra Nath Mandal, another Dalit leader, proved to be very useful to the British, to put up Indian faces who speak in their convenience in opposition to the national freedom, and helping them further their agenda. @RajivMessage

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
And all the problems plaguing "untouchables" had only one solution according to BRA: RESERVATIONS!
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"!

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.
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.
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.

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
