Rajkot: Dr BR Ambedkar’s grandson, Prakash Ambedkar visits Rajkot civil hospital on Saturday and met Una dalit victims.
According to Times of India reports, Prakash, the former MP and a dalit leader himself, after listening to the victims’ ordeal, asked dalits to shun Hindu religion and liberate themselves from slavery of the caste system.
“I told them (Una victims) to leave Hindu religion. Because of the caste system, dalits are facing inhuman and atrocious treatment,” Ambedkar told TOI. He also demanded immediate ban on ‘private army’ of cow protectors, promoted by saffron organizations.
“I have also asked them (dalits) to donate all gods and goddesses to temples around them and get themselves liberated from mental slavery (of caste system). Because, getting liberated from mental slavery is first step towards getting yourself out of physical slavery,” he added. “The Saffron brigade’s aim is to deviate from the basic principle of our Constitution,” he alleged.
