equality, and fraternity in society. He fought against caste and injustice

people. He rebelled against such a social organization. He wanted to vitalize
the masses in India, for equal human rights. For removing the social, economic,
political and religious disabilities of the untouchables, it was necessary to
establish Government of the people, for the people and by the people. Only
under a democratic system of government could social economic, political and
religious freedom he ensured equally to every man and woman. His ultimate aim
of life was to create a “real social democracy”. So, to commemorate 125th Birth
