Have the Left-Liberals understood Dr. Ambedkar at all?

Dr.Ambedkar was aware of how those Hindu nationalists fought against their own orthodoxy to remove the social evils and always heaped praises upon them in most of his writings. Like them he also wanted a strong Hindu society as can be seen in this statement:

"So long as caste remains, there will be no Sanghatan and so long as there is no Sanghatan the Hindu will remain weak and meek. …Indifferentism is the worst kind of disease that can infect a people. Why is the Hindu so indifferent? In my opinion this indifferentism is the result of Caste System which has made Sanghatan and co-operation even for a good cause impossible. "(Annihilation of Caste, page-31)

Unfortunately the Hindu orthodoxy was gaining strength inside the Congress party under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. Dr.Ambedkar rightly remarked this as impeding the radical social reform needed for Hindu society. But his idea was in complete contrast to the Marxist belief in calling for a bloody revolution based on only economic criteria:

"History bears out the proposition that political revolutions have always been preceded by social and religious revolutions. …Even Indian History supports the same conclusion. The political revolution led by Chandragupta was preceded by the religious and social revolution of Buddha. The political revolution led by Shivaji was preceded by the religious and social reform brought about by the saints of Maharashtra. The political revolution of the Sikhs was preceded by the religious and social revolution led by Guru Nanak. It is unnecessary to add more illustrations. These will suffice to show that the emancipation of the mind and the soul is a necessary preliminary for the political expansion of the people. (Annihilation of Caste, page- 14)
