Reading Ambedkar, Reflecting on the Self-Proclaimed World's Largest Democracy!
"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 fellowmen."
"Slavery does not merely mean a legalized form of subjection. It means a state of society in which some men are forced to accept from other the purposes, which control their conduct. This condition obtains even where there is no slavery in the legal sense."
- from his seminal text 'Annihilation of Caste'
