• "Religion and slavery are incompatible." -B R Ambedkar
• "Life should be great rather than long." B R Ambedkar
• "Cultivation of mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence." -B R Ambedkar
• "A great man is different from an eminent one in that he is ready to be the servant of the society." -B R Ambedkar
• "I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved." -B R Ambedkar
• "So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you." -B R Ambedkar
• "Law and order are the medicine of the body politic and when the body politic gets sick, medicine must be administered." -B R Ambedkar
• "Caste is not a physical object like a wall of bricks or a line of barbed wire which prevents the Hindus from co-mingling and which has, therefore, to be pulled down. Caste is a notion; it is a state of the mind." -B R Ambedkar
• "Democracy is not merely a form of government. It is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience. It is essentially an attitude of respect and reverence towards fellow men." -B R Ambedkar
• "The sovereignty of scriptures of all religions must come to an end if we want to have a united integrated modern India." -B R Ambedkar
• "What are we having this liberty for? We are having this liberty in order to reform our social system, which is full of inequality, discrimination and other things, which conflict with our fundamental rights." -B R Ambedkar
• "Political democracy cannot last unless there lies at the base of it social democracy. What does social democracy mean? It means a way of life which recognizes liberty, equality and fraternity as the principles of life." -B R Ambedkar
• "Indians today are governed by two different ideologies. Their political ideal set in the preamble of the Constitution affirms a life of liberty, equality and fraternity. Their social ideal embodied in their religion denies them." -B R Ambedkar
• "History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict, victory is always with economics. Vested interests have never been known to have willingly divested themselves unless there was sufficient force to compel them." -B R Ambedkar
• "Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self." -B R Ambedkar
• "People are not wrong in observing Caste. In my view, what is wrong is their religion, which has inculcated this notion of Caste. If this is correct, then obviously the enemy, you must grapple with is not the people who observe Caste, but the Shastras which teach them this religion of Caste." -B R Ambedkar
• "My social philosophy may be said to be enshrined in three words: liberty, equality and fraternity. Let no one, however, say that I have borrowed by philosophy from the French Revolution. I have not. My philosophy has roots in religion and not in political science. I have derived them from the teachings of my Master, the Buddha." -B R Ambedkar
