Ambedkar Jayanti observed with call for Bahujan unity

Hyderabad: A commemorative programme marking the birth anniversary of B. R. Ambedkar was held on at the Media Centre, Downtown Mall, Lakdikapool on Tuesday. The event was presided over by BC Samaj president Sangem Surya Rao. Retired IPS officer Dr. J. Purnachandra Rao, former DGP and National Coordinator of the All India Bahujan Samaj Party, attended as the chief guest and paid floral tributes to Ambedkar by garlanding his portrait.

Addressing the gathering, Dr. Purnachandra Rao stressed that merely praising Ambedkar was not enough and called for following his ideals. He said oppressed communities cannot secure justice by aligning with political forces that continue to marginalise them. He noted that Ambedkar remained independent of dominant parties as they were not structured for social justice.

Recalling history, he said caste census data of 1921 and 1931 enabled Ambedkar to secure reservations for Scheduled Castes, later enshrined in the Constitution. He criticised the discontinuation of caste enumeration for Backward Classes after Independence.

He highlighted lack of representation among Scheduled Tribes such as Erukala, Yanadi, Chenchu and Nakkala; Scheduled Castes like Relli; and Backward Classes including Vaddera, Vadhrangi, Kammari, Kummari, Kamsali, Chakali, Mangali and Dudekula, besides Dalit Christians and Muslims.

Among those present were Yakub, Suryanarayana (Retd. DRO), Narayana (Retd. ACP), Chandrasekhar (Retd. Grameena Bank Manager), Ramanarsaiah, Achuth and Kavitha, along with leaders from BC, SC, ST and Muslim communities.
