Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the father of the Indian constitution, is known for his profound contributions to social justice, equality, and the shaping of modern India. As the principal architect of the Indian Constitution, Ambedkar emphasized the importance of legal and constitutional reforms to safeguard individual rights and promote social justice. He saw the Constitution as a living document that should reflect the principles of equality, liberty, and fraternity. His moral compass was firmly oriented towards achieving social justice. Ambedkar advocated for the dismantling of social hierarchies and discrimination based on caste, religion, or gender. He believed that social justice required active efforts to correct historical injustices and provide equal opportunities for all. Ambedkar sought to address the social injustices perpetuated by religious practices, particularly those within Hinduism that perpetuated caste-based discrimination. He embraced Buddhism as a means to escape the hierarchical and oppressive structures of Hinduism and to promote values of equality and justice. Ambedkar championed the cause of political representation for marginalized groups. He believed that political participation was crucial for ensuring that the interests and rights of oppressed communities were adequately represented and protected.

Secularism: Our belief in secularism is rooted deeply in Babasaheb Ambedkar’s belief that religion should not dictate social or political policies. We believe in a secular state where laws and policies are made and maintained based on reason and equality rather than religious doctrines.

Rationality and Reason: We value rationality and critical thinking. We approach social and political issues with a reasoned perspective. We advocate for policies and reforms based on empirical evidence and logical analysis rather than tradition or dogma.

Commitment to Constitutionalism: We see the Constitution as a moral guide to ensure justice, equality, and democracy, and work diligently to create a framework that would uphold these values. Our moral framework is deeply intertwined with Babasaheb Ambedkars belief in the rule of law and constitutional governance.

Inclusive Democracy: We believe that inclusive democracy is essential for ensuring social and political equality. We believe that democratic governance is a means to achieve social justice and protect individual rights.

Social Equality and Justice: We reject the caste-based hierarchy that undermined the dignity of individuals, particularly the Dalits, and work towards creating a society where everyone would be treated with respect and equality. We will protect the rights of marginalized communities, We believe in the necessity of social reform to eliminate the caste-centred political system and ensure equality and justice for all individuals, regardless of their social background.
