Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (#JNV) foundation day (April 13th) marks an epoch. Since then JNVs are providing quality education hitherto denied to #Indian #masses & enabled equal and accessible #education to girls and rural children #HappyJNVFoundationDay en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawahar_N…

B P #Mandal is as famous in #India as the Nelson #Mandela in the world, for his work of bringing #marginalised towards the center “There is #equality only among equals, To equate unequals is to perpetuate inequality”- #MandalCommission Remembering him on his #death anniversary

After 36 yrs of his #Parinirvana, on this day (April 12th) in ‘92, portrait of #Ambedkar was installed in Parliament Central Hall, by #PM-VP Singh With this, though delayed but much deserved step, Ambedkar got his due #recognition of his rightful position in the history of #India

“The development of any community is not possible without education. It is the only tool to #liberate the oppressed from mental slavery.” Let us not merely remember him, but #LiveHisValues—fight ignorance with education, #challenge injustice with #courage #HappyPhuleJayanti

youtube.com/watch?v=YRQ4d8… #GeoffreyHinton, the Godfather of #AI. Worth listening to him about the #future possibilities. The humankind is at a #precipice, which direction it will go, no one knows!

#Gautama, after 6 years of severe austerities & mortification, reflected ‘this is not the way, even to passionlessness, nor to perfect knowledge, nor to liberation’ and decided to end. He accepted food from #Sujata, sitting under a #Banyan tree at #Uruvela, on this day in 528 BCE

Asoka, greatest #Chakravarti humankind has produced. Greatest not for his battle victories, though they are in ample number, but for the #Dhamma victory, for the welfare, just & righteous kingdom he has established, unsurpassed in measure&glory even to this day #HappyAsokaJayanti

He further said "You have found your saviour in Dr. Ambedkar. I am confident that he will #BreakYourShackles. Not only that, a time will come, so whispers my conscience, that he will shine as a front-rank #leader of all-India fame & appeal." How clairvoyant his conscience was!

On March 21, 1920 #SahuMaharaj, a great reformist king at the Mangaon meeting said, "Dr Ambedkar is the true leader of the oppressed classes in India” It was one of the first meetings of #Ambedkar. Sahu Maharaj imposed penalty on those who don’t send their children to school

To have comparative perspective of #MahadSatyagraha vis-à-vis Dandi march read “Mahad: The March That is Launched Everyday” by Bojja Tharakam Circumstances & ideals of Mahad Satyagraha, Ambedkar likened them with that of French National Assembly that led to the #FrenchRevolution

On this day (March 20) in 1927 Ambedkar led #MahadSatyagraha -not as fight for water, but as a fight for #equality and reclaiming of #humandignity “Lost rights are never regained by begging, and by appeals to the conscience of the usurpers, but by relentless struggle”

Gautami Prajapati Sanghamitta Theri Jhalkaribai SavitriBai Phule Ramabai Ambedkar Jijiyabai and many more who defied the wrong socio-religious systems & patriarchy and empowered not only women but entire humanity Remembering those and wishing all a Happy international women’s day

Happy 648th birthday anniversary of Guru Ravidas “A person is not great by birth or status but is measured by their virtues and deeds” #GuruRavidasJayanti

Dr.Santosh Raut becomes the first ever dalit to teach a course at Harvard, in 389 year history of Harvard University. His course, HDS 3512 Spring 2025, titled Ambedkar, Buddhism and Social Justice starts on 30 Jan 2025.A proud moment for all Ambedkarites world over. Jai Bhim!

Every citizen should know the affairs of the state- you brought RTI overturning the colonial Official Secrets Act. People love you for many more great things you have done. You will be missed dearly, Sir. When history is written you will have a glorious chapter. #RIP #MMS

We the People of India lost a great states-person with the passing away of Dr Manmohan Singh Art-46: Special efforts to promote education-you made RTE a reality Art-38: State to strive for economic development- you brought NREGS alleviating rural poverty. #RIP #NationalLoss #MMS

Happy Independence Day
