Statue of Dr. Ambedkar Will Be Shifted 01/02/2012
The moving of Dr. Ambedkar's statue in Bangalore's metro construction work zone recently caused eyebrows to raise. Various organizations condemning the decision to move the statue reminded the public of the great importance of Dr. Ambedkar to Indian Gypsies (Dalit). Dr. Ambedkar, who made notable contributions in the preparation of India's constitution, is at the top of the list of those considered highly respected, throughout the Gypsy world.
The decision to shift the statue, of Dr. Ambedkar, who is one of the best known intellectuals among Indian Gypsies, caused public indignation in Bangalore. Foundations representing Gypsies marched from the statue of Mahatma Gandi on MG road to Roj Bahava to protest the decision.
Dr. Ambedkar, one of the earliest representatives of Indian Gypsies, locally known as Dalits, is also a national hero throughout India. Dr. Ambedkar who was born to a Gypsy family, in 1891, is known as a Bahasaheb among Indian Gypsies. Not only Gypsies but millions of Indians, from different castes, respect Dr. Ambedkar. The Dr. Ambedkar devoted his life to the struggle against the local practice of the Universal Caste System in India.
