Today is not just Dr BR Ambedkar's Birth Anniversary.
Today is the day which ensured that SC /ST can stop considering themselves as sub-humans.
Today is the day which started the argument that casteism was created by the Britishers.
Today is the day which compelled some people to say to me, have we ever ill treated you on the basis of your caste.
Today is the day when the discourse changed from "born for menial and ignominious work" to "they too should compete on merit"
Today is the day which has enabled a few SC/ST to claim all the benefits available but pretend in public that they are not from those communities.
Today is the day which ensured that the oppressed are more than willing to embrace the oppressors and the oppressor to agree in public that the oppressed are in fact human beings.

Dr Ambedkar's contribution is not well-known, sadly.
