“Untouchability has ruined the Untouchables, it has ruined the Hindus, and ultimately it has ruined the whole of India. No nation can rise while trampling on the humanity of millions of its own people.”
— Dr. B. R. Ambedkar
Architect of Modern India, Jurist & Social Thinker
Delivered in November 1930 at the Plenary Session of the First Round Table Conference in London representing the Depressed Classes of India.
