democracy and meritocracy. But he was extremely critical against casteism in the Indian society. Many public institutions are today named in his honour. The Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport i n Nagpur, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar, Ambedkar University Delhi are named in his honour. [34 IX. A ntagonism towards the B ritishers ] Babasaheb was a real Indian hero whose achievements and accomplishments can never be forgotten. He was indeed a product of the Western Education since he studied at the University of Columbia in the United States and the prestigious London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in the UK. But he never despised the Americans and Britishers. He had no antagonistic feelings for the Britishers unlike Mahatma Gandhi who was also a product of Western Education and read law at the prestigious University College of London which is an alternative to Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Babasaheb was a freedom fighter but he never vented out any frustration on the Britishers unlike Mahatma Gandhi (who would not have fought for the independence of India had he not been forcibly removed from a whites-only carriage on a train in Pietermaritzburg on 7 th June 1893). X. T he P aradox about the C haracter of M ahatma G andhi Babasaheb was a brilliant barrister unlike Mahatma Gandhi who was a briefless barrister. He was a true patriot and statesman unlike Mahatma Gandhi who was the most cunning politician that the world has ever known according to Bhagwan Rajneesh (also known as Osho). This eminent philosopher of the same calibre as Socrates, Plato and Aristotle also compared Adolf Hitler with Mahatma Gandhi. According to him in spite of the fact that “Mahatma Gandhi preached nonviolence he was a very violent man. In South Africa, he used to have an ashram called Phoenix. His wife was continuously tortured by him for the simple reason that she was not willing to clean the toilets of other people of the ashram. She refused because she was pregnant – in the middle of the night Mahatma Gandhi threw her out of the house and told her that unless she feels that she has committed a sin, he will not allow her in the house.” (From False To The Truth: OSHO COMPARED ADOLF HITLER WITH MAHATMA GANDHI) The straw that broke the camel’s back was the astonishing fact that he never sent his four sons even to public schools not to say universities. His sons were deprived of academic education. His eldest son Harilal, wanted to go to the UK for higher studies, hoping to become a barrister as 34 " स ामािजक � ाय िव भागाच े प ु र�ार जाहीर " .

But Mahatma Gandhi firmly opposed this, believing that a Western Education would not be helpful in the struggle against British rule over India, leading to tensions between father and son. [ 35] It is unbelievable how could a barrister of Inner Temple who read law at the prestigious University College of London have such a retrograde and orthodox mentality regarding education? Education is sacred whether it is Western or Eastern. This is indeed a paradox! Furthermore, his sexual experiments on celibacy test (brahmacharya) were extremely abominable and provoking. In his ashram he used to sleep naked with his granddaughters Manu and Abha (both minor and in their teens) [36] . According to him, this was a method to attain nirvana state! [ 37 On top of that he was a racist. “In 1903, when Mahatma Gandhi was in South Africa, ] Whether he attained nirvana like Gautam Buddha or not is indeed a problematic question. he wrote t hat white people there should be ‘the predominating race.’ He also said black people ‘ are troublesome, very dirty and live like animals’. There's no way around it: Mahatma Gandhi was a racist early in his life, says his biographer Ramachandra Guha.” [38 Babasaheb was the real Mahatma of India (unlike Mahatma Gandhi who was an impostor, racist, moron and sexual pervert). Babasaheb in fact recognized that his Western Education was an infallible pillar that allowed him to draft the constitution of modern India and as such he became known worldwide as the “Father of the Indian Constitution”. It is true to say that the British rule exploited India. But its very presence in India also had some positive contributions that most Indians fail to recognize nowadays. One landmark contribution of the British rule in India was the abolition of the ] Sati p ractice (in which a widow sacrifices her life by sitting upon her deceased husband's funeral pyre) on 4 th December 1829. This was rendered possible by the unflinching support of Raja Ram Mohan Roy (founder of Brahmo Samaj and social reformer), William Carey (a British Christian evangelist) and th e Governor-General Lord William Bentinck. XI. C onclusion To sum up we could say that Babasaheb is the unsung hero of India and his reminiscence is being subjected to abject humiliation by some Indians.
