He said, “Dr. Ambedkar ji’s legacy is an integral part of India’s national identity and his ideas will continue to inspire future generations.

In the light of Babasaheb’s great intelligence, we can move our life, society, nation and the world forward on the path of progress. Dr. Ambedkar’s dream society based on equality, fraternity and justice can be achieved only by accepting the concept of “Ek Bharat – Shrestha Bharat”.
