You see, if you look @ Dr Ambedkar merely as an icon or a personality, you're mistaken. Well, I can blame the left-liberal for toning him down to the status of anti-caste reformer & also the right-wing for appropriating him conveniently.

Thread: 'what actually is Ambedkar?'
1/12

When I'm saying #Ambedkar, I am foundationally referring to an aggregated state of critical consciousness too. Ambedkar was more than a human being. Ambedkar reflects the maxim of 'educate, organise, agitate'

When I'm saying #Ambedkar, I am also equating the position with a cognition over economics, sociology, history, anthropology, gender, politics and law. Thus, qualifying the interdisciplinary axiom as intersectional consciousness.

You see, it took almost 4 decades after his death to honor the icon with Bharat Ratna. The same for publication of his writings, which didn't meet the equal fate like Nehru or Gandhi after their respective obituaries. This gesture manifests how brahminical system is.

Even today, despite of his excellence in work, social activities, education and writings, #Ambedkar as a consciousness too is toned down to 'Bhimta'. This manifests that education or any genre of contribution means nothing, when society is innately casteist first.

Of course, the ones who hold monopoly on wearing janaeu for last 3000 years are suddenly rattled @ #Ambedkar over social justice policies because Ambedkar is anti-caste consciousness too and detrimental to their system of casteism. I write: c4ss.org/content/54806

The left-liberals, like the right-wing, have conveniently missed discoursing about Ambedkar's economic thought because his coherence is detrimental to their economic health of manipulation too. economicshub.substack.com/p/dr-b-r-ambed… via @Shreyas0100

Whereas, the right-wing abuses Ambedkar day-and-night except when it comes to selectively screenshotting his book "Pakistan or Partition" on social media. The same book also tells that Hindu rashtra will be a great disaster, which the riot-wing doesn't wanna talk about.

Then, you see, in 2019, American Civil Society Research and later on Equality Labs came out with a report highlighting that 40% content on social media is anti-dalit, pro-caste & also filled with abhorrence for Ambedkar. The number might increase in 2021, if taken today.

Then there are some dalit leaders who too have appropriated Ambedkar for their political needs. As interviewed by @bahujanlive1, I speak my heart out:

You see, you also have PhD scholars, writers, speakers and also columnists - majorly upper-caste ones - who have made their careers, grants and projects over #Ambedkar without signifying his voice on Dalit Buddhist movement. Agenda at work!

So, in ratiocination, when I say #Ambedkar, I'm not referring to a man who simply architected the Indian constitution. I'm referring to an outcome; a value of zeal, assertion, spirit, criticality & nevertheless the consciousness of evolution, revolution & power!

Adopt it.
