14th April is the Birth Anniversary of Bharat Ratna Dr. B.R.Ambedkar, the architect of of the Indian Constitution.
After his death, Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal stated in Lok Sabha: ” Dr. Ambedkar will be remembered mostly as the symbol of revolt against all the oppressing features of Hindu society… He revolted against something, which everybody should revolt against..”. President of India, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan stated: “… Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution, proved, with his intellect and wisdom, that sages can take birth in any caste.” Dr. Zakir Husain said: ” He is the Bhishma among the wise; among the contemporaries few could equal him; a great person indeed.” Justice V.R.Krishna Iyer said: ” Ambedkar is a versatile genius – a ruthless rebel, a legal luminary, a profound scholar, a self-respecting person with an independent line of thinking.” Indeed Dr. Ambedkar was a great man in all ways.
It is only appropriate and justified that the birthday of this great man, 14th April, should be declared as a National Holiday. Government should declare it as such.

We have already taken up the matteer with the BSNL as well as the government demanding that 14th April, Dr.Ambedkar Jayanti, be declared as National Holiday. But the Government seems to be not ready for the same. Instead every year it is announcing the holiday at the last moment. The government is not giving any clariication for the same.
We should adopt work culture which will be a great tribute to a great leader of masses like Dr. Ambadkar instead of increasing numbers of national holidays.
All should come to their work place on birthday of Dr. Ambadkar with a suitable tag on their arms.
