We are the backbone of the nation, So long had been the struggle, The struggle for representation, And the struggle for equality, Do we really understand?? Our vote is the vote of equality. Inequality of castes, and its hierarchy, Patriarchy and its norms of gender inequality. Were annihilated by Ambedkar, With his movements revolutionarily. Remember the Round Table Conference, Or the Poona Pact?? The Burning Of Manusmriti, or the Chavdar Movement?? He fought for our representation and equality. He has not just fought for the basic rights or upliftment, He drafted the constitution, With the principles of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity and gave us democracy. Lesser we know the fact, The Election Commission Of India, works on the foundation drafted by Ambedkar, The Representation of The People’s Act 1950. As he said, Political power is the key to all social progress, We must utilize the power to vote, And vote wisely.

"Though, I was born a Hindu, I couldn't help the fact but I solemnly assure you that I will not die as a Hindu." -Dr. Ambedkar ( 13th October 1935 at Yeola, Nashik) Are you Dalit, Ambedkarite, Neo-Buddhist? Or just a blind follower of Ambedkar? Are you casteist , religious or anti-Ambedkar?? Or just a person who knows Ambedkar?? Do Ambedkar's struggles mean something to you?? Does his dream of Enlightened India, Has ever ignited the energy within or motivated you?? What Ambedkar has meant through the movement, have you understood?? Mook Nayak to Bahishkrit Bharat and from Janata to Prabuddha Bharat The name of newspapers itself represent Ambedkar's Vision. Why did Ambedkar state , 'Educate, Agitate and Organise'?? Did he mean to form different organizations ?? Or to come together as one??? Different identities of today, have their own way of expression, It is progressive, It is impactful, Yet, don't you think, we have lost the purpose? Buddha, Jyotiba, Ambedkar, and so does other anti-caste social reformers, have not just fought for your rights, but also for the upliftment. Hence, inspired by their struggles, and Buddha's quote 'Bahujan Hitay, Bahujan Sukhay' Manyavar Kanshiram introduced the term 'Bahujan' The SCs, STs, OBCs together are the majority, We are the vote, we are the nation. Together is the struggle for unity, Together will be The Enlightened India. Jai Bhim P.S. I usually don't write any explanation , but I feel necessary to address the following issue. I have a critic, on the celebration of the term 'Dalit'. Ambedkar himself has never used the term, and though he struggled for equal rights for the depressed classes, he on the other hand also worked on several other unspoken issues . Why he is termed as Dalit leader? Celebrating April (Birth month of Ambedkar) as Dalit History Month does support the fact of Ambedkar being called Dalit. The term ' Dalit became popular by people coinciding Ambedkar's movement, as the term was used by Jyotiba Phule in his texts and speeches. Later in the 1970s, Dalit Panther a revolutionary organization was formed which made the term a socio-political, literary, and cultural symbol. As Ambedkar embraced Buddhism and emphasized the change in name and religion to conquer the oppression, prominent members including Raja Dhale (co-founder of Dalit Panther) themselves rejected the term Dalit as an identity. Raja Dhale advocated the term 'Ambedkarite' as a social and political identity. So why is the term ' Dalit still in existence?? Whereas 'DBA' (Dalit Bahujan Adivasi) a term is been very popular among the people in the movement. Why do we need such terms?? Bahujan itself is an umbrella term for SCs/STs/OBC. Bahujan in 'DBA' is a representation for several OBCs who are unprivileged , as there are many upper castes in OBCs and they can't be included in it. I have a question why we need to separate OBCs as Bahujan and Dalits and tribals as different communities. Buddha who quoted 'Bahujan Hitay and Bahujan Sukhay' where bahujan represents the majority. Manyawar Kanshiram too quoted Buddha's perception of Bahujan. 'Dalit' itself means broken, but through the poem, I want to point that we all are broken. We are not united, we have our own identities, agendas. The day we understand Ambedkar's vision, the day there will be movements together as one, as 'Bahujan', we will be close to fulfilling his dream.

Awake, Arise and Educate. Smash traditions. Liberate! -Savitribai Phule Social Construct & The Binaries What does it mean to be a man? What does it mean to be a woman? How has the society justified, The Differences amongst them?? Is it on the basis of the sexes? or is it on the basis of physical or mental strength?? Does really identifying the genitals, Justifies the identity of being a male or a female? Throughout history and the present, There are phrases and slurs, Women being considered w*tch, sl*t (etc.) While in general used slurs like moth*rf*cker, don't be a p*ssy, or got no b*lls. Mainly used to diminish the feminine gender, I wonder, How the society decided that man's b*lls, are considered stronger than the vagina? As balls being the weakest part of a male body, while the vagina being the strongest women's part which goes through unbearable menstrual and labour pain. Why there are so-called feminine and masculine qualities?? Women to be considered sensitive, emotional and caring, And men considered being strong, tough, courageous, Definitely, it's the quality of motherhood that is assigned to femininity. Ask yourself. Can a man not be sweet, sensitive, vulnerable, dependent, And a woman not be strong, tough, be independent, and have leadership qualities? Though knowing the reality of the strength and qualities, Why does society seek men in power, while women are considered subordinate? Men required to be tough and strong?? Why women are required to be sweet and sexy?? Several centuries have passed, Why do we still find the inequality among the binaries?? How men are so progressive?? And why women are still struggling?? It is not that there has been no progress, There are women who struggled, succeeded, and made a mark, But the gender gap in general, Is still the bigger picture. Despite having equal qualities of human nature, We have divided ourselves from each other, Progressive and equal could have been both men and women, Yet patriarchy feared the competition. A man doesn't need to be strong, independent, He can be sensitive and emotional.. A woman doesn't need to be considered subordinate or low, As she is far more superior. She is the nature. Happy Women's Day
