Sathavniche Padartha

Since our Bahujan icons inspire us in each and every struggle of our life, we must celebrate and propagate their work. This book is a step towards that direction. The work of Barrister Saheb is very inspiring. In the socio-political arena of independent India, we rarely come across a leader who is so dedicated to his cause as Barrister Saheb was. He carried forward Babasaheb’s legacy of simultaneous engagement with parliamentary politics and ground politics. Limiting him only to the identity of a Republican leader would be an injustice to his versatile personality. He was a parliamentarian, a barrister, a journalist, a diplomat of India’s foreign policy, a champion of the rights of the marginalized and women, a mass leader, and a staunch ideologue of Ambedkarite thought. One can feel thrilled and overwhelmed to find these many aspects within only one personality. Without an unwavering resolution to devote one’s life to the cause of the downtrodden, one cannot do such a mountain of work. This book is tribute to Barrister Saheb and his humongous work on his birth centenary year and 40^th death anniversary year.
