Ambedkar philosophy empowered Dalits: Enoch
Friday, November 11th, 2011

Warangal: Socio-political philosophy promoted by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar has
brought about phenomenal changes in the lives of Dalits in India, said
former Vice-Chancellor of Sri Venkateshwara University Prof.
Kolakaluri Enoch.

His philosophy empowered the Dalits in India, he said.
He was speaking at the valedictory function of two-day national
seminar on 'Socio-Political Philosophy of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar:
Contemporary Social/Literary Perspectives', at Kakatiya University
here on Saturday.

Though he fought for the reconstruction of the Indian Society based on
the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity, his main focus was
on the prevalence of equality in the society, Mr. Enoch opined.

The youth should emulate Dr. Ambedkar's ideology and to follow his
life history to establish a society that would be based on democratic
principles and equality, he asserted.

Senior advocate of High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Mr. Bojja Tharakam
said that the universities should take the ideology of B R Admbedkar
to the rural masses to create awareness to improve their life
standards.

He added that the Dalit Bahujans of India should be united keeping
aside the class, caste, region and linguistic differences to achieve
the political power.

Mr. P. Shivakami, IAS turned activist and writer from Tamil Nadu
asserted that the universities should take up research areas which are
connected to the public issues rather than the research which would be
carried out for just earning degrees, which would be of no use to the
society.

Director of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Studies Centre and the Director of the
seminar, Dr. B. Krishnaiah, presented the report of the seminar. Prof.
K. Sayulu, Registrar of the University, Prof. Sarangapani,
Co-ordinating Officer, UGC Unit, Dalita Ratna B. Kattaiah and others
were present.

Around 60 research papers both in English and Telugu were presented in
the two-day seminar. Professors N. Ramaswamy, G. Bhadru Naik, M.
Rajeshwar, Ambedkar activists Francis, Jannu Bhaskar, Research Scholar
and students participated in the function.
