Ambedkar is one of the great thinker in this world. Lets celebrate Ambedkar's birthday who said an independent person is the one who is not afraid for public review, has a free thought and self respect by not becoming the toy of others hand. Ambedkar's life message tells us caste or economic status will not decide the learning ability and achievement. He dedicated his life and education for the development of others. He was a educationalist, economist, Philosopher, philologist, politician. He has done great works by being Electricity Department minister, Minister of Law. By being a minister in labour's dept in the year 1942 on November 7th he made working hours to 8 hours. He has works for country's construction and welfare of people has always been neglected. But time is showing the great work done by him. Independent Labor Party was established with the view of thinking beyond caste. Our thinking should be free from bonded ship. He is the one who said jobs should be nationalized. Ambedkar is the one who voiced for equality and rebuilding the nation. And rebuilding will the first step of workers. Lets fight To get the right of equality.
