Inspirational quotes of Babasaheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar

  • “I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity”
  • “Slavery does not merely mean a legalised form of subjection. It means a state of society in which some men are forced to accept from others the purposes which control their conduct.”
  • “Law and order are the medicine of the body politic and when the body politic gets sick, medicine must be administered.”
  • “I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.”
  • “However good a Constitution may be, if those who are implementing it are not good, it will prove to be bad. However bad a Constitution may be, if those implementing it are good, it will prove to be good.”
  • “Caste is not a physical object like a wall of bricks or a line of barbed wire which prevents the Hindus from co-mingling and which has, therefore, to be pulled down. Caste is a notion; it is a state of the mind.”
  • “Political tyranny is nothing compared to social tyranny and a reformer who defies society is a more courageous man than a politician who defies government.”
  • “A just society is that society in which an ascending sense of reverence and descending sense of contempt is dissolved into the creation of a compassionate society.”
