Asserting that father of the Indian Constitution
B R Ambedkar supported the RSS ideology, the organisation's Chief K S Sudarshan
on Sunday said Dr Ambedkar opposed such social workers whose action and deed
differed with respect to Dalits.
Mr Sudarshan, while inaugurating late RSS
Pracharak Dattopant Thengadi's book Dr Ambedkar aur samajik kranti ki yatra,
said the RSS had always felt oneness with Dr Ambedkar.
Throwing light on Dr Ambedkar's personality,
he said Dr Ambedkar had always worked for the upliftment of Dalits and the
lowest strata of society, while bearing the brunt of his own bitter experiences.
Commenting upon the increasing political competition
for providing reservation, the RSS Chief said Dr Ambedkar had always opposed
this and said after framing of the Constitution that each generation should
not be bound.
''The demand for reservation for Dalits, Muslims,
Christians and lower sections is inspired by political considerations and
Dr Ambedkar opposed this,'' he said.
Mr Sudarshan said Dr Ambedkar had rejected
allurements by Muslims and Christians and remained firm in Hindu culture.
On Dr Ambedkar's role in framing of the Constitution,
he said the Congress had pressurised him during the framing of 'English-style'
Constitution and said he would have-burnt'' the Constitution if things were
in his control.
He said Dr Ambedkar kept his promise to Mahatma
Gandhi to remain in the country's culture and adopted Buddhist religion.
Mr Sudarshan said there was no difference
between ''Hindu and Dalit society.'' He described Dr Ambedkar as a great scholar
of economics and sociology and said his knowledge and research was in the
country's welfare.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Babulal Gaur,
RSS Pracharak Suresh Soni and former Chief Minister Sunderlal Patwa were among
those present.
