     Dr. Babasaheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar

April 14, 2015 will kick off celebrations of Babasaheb Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar’s 125^th birth anniversary. Though Dr. Ambedkar’s stature and image is growing larger with time, his prominence as India’s foremost advocate of Dalit empowerment often does not do much justice to several sterling aspects of the man’s multi-faceted personality.

            Dr. Ambedkar was an economist par excellence and his work in this field had laid the foundation for the country’s central bank, Reserve Bank of India. He planned India’s first river valley project to generate power and irrigation facilities. As the chairman of the drafting committee of the Indian Constitution he was its chief architect. He had also drafter the far-reaching Hindu code bill to liberate vast majority of women and finally resigned from union cabinet when this bill was not passed by the Parliament.

            However, Dr. Ambedkar’s greatest and least known contribution was to be able to stretch the idea of the nation-state to include India’s vast diversity of people, cultures and their differing aspirations. For him, nation is a philosophical entity with shared dreams as its central theme.   

            Academicians and scholars across India & the World are increasingly recognising Dr. Ambedkar’s role as the nation builder of modern Indian State. Dr. Ambedkar had written eloquently on his idea of nation and this is documented in Writings & Speeches of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, published by Ambedkar Foundation, a central government sponsored body to carry on the work of Babasaheb and also by the education department of Government of Maharashtra. 

            Dr. Ambedkar’s idea of nation is not only of a political or geographical entity, having a map and a flag. He didn’t subscribe to the popular definition of nation something as “large group of people living in one area with their own government, language, traditions, etc. (Cambridge Dictionary).” For him idea of nation has to have a philosophical and spiritual connotation with welfare, equity and fraternity as central themes. While explaining his idea of nation he had quoted French philosopher Ernest Renan saying that “A nation is a living soul, a spiritual principle. Two things, which in truth are but one, 
constitute the soul, this spiritual principle. One is in the past, the other in the present. One is the common possession of a rich heritage of memories; the other is the actual consent, the desire to live together, the will to preserve worthily the undivided inheritance which has been handed down. The nation, like the individual, is the outcome of a long past of efforts, and sacrifices, and devotion…A heroic past, great men, glory, these form the social capital, upon which a national idea may be founded.”

            Babasaheb, in his entire life tried to achieve this cherished goal of nationhood. For him, at that point of time in history, India was a nation in the making. He argued with another towering personality of his times, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi on this issue. That great debate is now part of our national consciousness. 

            Any evaluation of Dr. Ambedkar’s contribution should keep this philosophical and spiritual framework he had in mind for the sub continent. In his seminal but undelivered speech known as ‘The Annihilation of Caste’ he deliberated that a casteless society is prerequisite for a strong nation. Keeping this idea in the mind he led many social movements like Mahad Satyagraha for equal right to drink water from a public tank, temple entry 

rights movement and movement to burn the Manusmriti.  He had warned that without having social and economic equality, our nation may face existential crisis. While concluding the debate in the constituent assemble, as chairperson of drafting committee, Babasaheb had said that, “On the 26^th January, 1950, we are going to enter into a life of contradictions. In politics we will have equality and in social and economic life we will have inequality. In politics we will be recognizing the principle of one man one vote and one vote one value. In our social and economic life, we shall, by reason of our social and economic structure, continue to deny the principle of one man one value. How long shall we continue to live this life of contradictions? How long shall we continue to deny equality in our social and economic life? If we continue to deny it for long, we will do so only by putting our political democracy in peril. We must remove this contradiction at the earliest possible moment or else those who suffer from inequality will blow up the structure of political democracy which is Assembly has to laboriously built up.”

            It was to resolve these contradictions that Dr. Ambedkar laboured 
hard to push the idea of affirmative action for the deprived sections of the
society and women. It sprang from his steadfast belief that there could not be sustainable liberty without equality and fraternity. 

“How can people divided into several thousands of castes be a nation,” he said.

            Forefathers of Indian constitution had agreed to Babasaheb’s view on the need to have reservations for oppressed classes. If we go through the constituent assembly debates, we can notice that there were practically no conflicting views on the issue of equal rights and affirmative action. In the case of the Hindu code bill prepared by Babasaheb, Dr. Ambedkar’s view to have equal rights for women in the family was later endorsed by the Parliament. Though in the initial phase there was resistance to this bill and sensing this baba sahib had resigned from the position of the law minister. For Babasaheb had famously said, “I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.”

            As Earnest Renan had rightly said that a nation must forget the bad memories of the past and cherish the dream of a shared future, the constituent assembly of India passed that test of having social equality and 
fraternity with flying colours. That’s the legacy we have, when we remember the great son of India, Baba Saheb Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar.

            Lets all celebrate this year remembering the dream Babasaheb had for a great nation, called India.     

PROTECTING SMALL FARMER

Breakthrough onIran 

Recently the JOINT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF ACTION (JCPOA) by Iran and P5+1. It shows positive sign for india.

Anti-terror law

Recently Gujarat legislative assemble had passed the Gujarat control of terrorism and organized crime (GCTOC) bill which is in pending for president accent. The law had stuck between amid protests  against the bill. 

It is primary object to the state of Gujarat which is having border shared with Pakistan, to curb the activities of terrorism in the state but the bill which is framed should never be unconstitutional.

Prime objections

1) the law allows the police to file charge sheet within 180days which is double than the present period.

2) the accused person however not granted bail easily without special        permissions.

3) the issue of confession is that the confession taken before the officer equal       to or higher than the rank of superintendent of police is acceptable. But the present law states that the confession before the magistrate only acceptable.
4) the law allows the investigation department to trace the telephone conversations of the suspects and provide them as proof in the court as evidences.

These are the main objections which made the bill to be rejected in the past for four times. Because the confession in the presence of police can be taken under pressure and brutal actions and the tracing of telephone conversations may affect the freedom of democratic society. 

There should be some amendments which will correct these objections otherwise this is a good initiative to curb the terrorist activities in the eve of rising ISIS power in the present times.

Guidelines for choosing optional

Dear friends,

So many aspirants while deciding the optional subject, usually with temptation they will blindly go for their subjects which they were studied in their graduation. But according to me it is wrong because here we should note that the purpose of selecting optional in UPSC examination is only to get good score in the mains examination. especially the candidates from science background usually try to take subjects like zoology... but here we should note the thing that , in graduation every student would not be completely clear with the zoology, so if you get some questions from completely unknown part in the syllabus of zoology then it would cost huge damage to you in the exam.of course some students may have extraordinary skills in their specialized subjects, in that case if you are with a clear clarity then you can take the specified subject. here i am giving suggestions to those who were in dilemma about selecting the optional.So, by keeping in mind all these things, i am giving some suggestions to the fellow aspirants in choosing the optional subject.

1. The main subjects which should be focused are HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, POLITICAL SCIENCE, ECONOMICS. because these subjects will help to skip some portion in GS part as well.
2. HISTORY- detailed syllabus, no confusion in syllabus, no much current updates in subjects.
3. GEOGRAPHY- no much twisted questions would come in exam, direct questions appear in exam repeatedly.
4. POLITICAL SCIENCE- it involves lots of current update about international relations and trends.
5. ECONOMICS- non economic graduates better to avoid this.
6. The other easy subjects according to many were PHILOSOPHY due to its simple syllabus and ANTHROPOLOGY for science background students. SOCIOLOGY for good interest.
7. while choosing optional the main things you should consider are, your interest in the subject, availability of material for subject, availability of guidance.
8. First of all takeout the previous question papers check whether you could answer the questions, check whether with preparation you could learn them, check whether the questions would not make you to feel irritated, check whether the subject suits to you. Then only carefully decide your optional. 
9. Daily give at least 3hrs for your optional study.

Once you chosen your optional don't shift to another,stick to it and study well. ALL THE BEST.

"The sole purpose of this is to help the people who were aspiring to crack civil service exam."

Many people has desire to appear and crack the prestigious examination and so many people will follow so many ways in their preparation. But everyone commonly recite the name of the city DELHI for the coaching purpose. of course the coaching is necessary for the examination to crack but not COMPULSORY. I have been in preparation for more than a year and roamed around so many coaching institutes and wasted some money and spent some in useful manner and felt sad at some times though, at last i acquired some knowledge about the preparation and how to use the material and how to use the institutes in the preparation etc... through some experiences and more through the fellow aspirants who has much more knowledge than me.
Here, I decided to help the fellows who do not have any information regarding preparation,though I am not an expert but certainly I can try to clear the doubts of them by my knowledge and through my frnds even.
So, Friends ............. I am here to Help You and my this thought may become a part in Your Preparation and I may be a part of Your SUCCESS.
