&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;According to a &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Article%20on%20Ambedkar.pdf&quot;&gt;paper&lt;/a&gt; published by Brandeis University, challenges to reservation best represent the attack on the Dalit revolution.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Due to Ambedkar&amp;rsquo;s struggle and contribution, the Constitution provided a new set of rights for Dalits. The provisions of representation in services and legislatures created new openings for Dalits. Reservation policies allowed Dalits upward economic mobility, and presence in educational institutions, which was earlier considered to be the monopoly and privilege of upper castes. The demand for equality, supported by political mobilisation, generated a powerful conscience among Dalits. Later, in the panchayat institutions, the reservation of seats for Dalits and women have changed certain social dynamics and have weakened the grip of the upper castes on political affairs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It is in all these ways that the Constitution directly challenged the upper-caste privilege. Before his death, Ambedkar had proposed to write a detailed treatise with the title Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Ancient India. Ambedkar considered the establishment of democratic principles in the Buddhist era as a revolution. According to him, the counter-revolution pioneered by Brahminical forces resulted into decline and fall of those democratic principles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This history was pointed out by him even in his last address on November 25, 1949 to the Constituent Assembly. If one was to apply that analogy to modern era, then the adoption of the Constitution of India must be seen as a form of revolution. It is to undo the effects of this modern revolution that upper castes have revolted in the form of a counter-revolution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Constitution has faced a consistent line of attack from the time it was being drafted. Various charges were made against the draft Constitution. Ambedkar himself stood up on several occasions to point out the shallowness in these attacks. One main charge against the draft Constitution was that it did not represent the &amp;lsquo;ancient polity of India&amp;rsquo; and that it should have been &amp;lsquo;drafted on the ancient Hindu model of a State. . . instead of incorporating Western theories&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Ambedkar responded that doing this would have promoted &amp;lsquo;a sink of localism, a den of ignorance, narrow-mindedness and communalism&amp;rsquo;, which should not happen. The draft Constitution was also criticised on the ground that it provided special safeguards for minorities. Ambedkar&amp;rsquo;s conception of minorities was much broader. It included both religious minorities as well as marginalised social groups.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;According to a &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Article%20on%20Ambedkar.pdf&quot;&gt;paper&lt;/a&gt; published by Brandeis University, challenges to reservation best represent the attack on the Dalit revolution.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Due to Ambedkar&amp;rsquo;s struggle and contribution, the Constitution provided a new set of rights for Dalits. The provisions of representation in services and legislatures created new openings for Dalits. Reservation policies allowed Dalits upward economic mobility, and presence in educational institutions, which was earlier considered to be the monopoly and privilege of upper castes. The demand for equality, supported by political mobilisation, generated a powerful conscience among Dalits. Later, in the panchayat institutions, the reservation of seats for Dalits and women have changed certain social dynamics and have weakened the grip of the upper castes on political affairs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It is in all these ways that the Constitution directly challenged the upper-caste privilege. Before his death, Ambedkar had proposed to write a detailed treatise with the title Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Ancient India. Ambedkar considered the establishment of democratic principles in the Buddhist era as a revolution. According to him, the counter-revolution pioneered by Brahminical forces resulted into decline and fall of those democratic principles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This history was pointed out by him even in his last address on November 25, 1949 to the Constituent Assembly. If one was to apply that analogy to modern era, then the adoption of the Constitution of India must be seen as a form of revolution. It is to undo the effects of this modern revolution that upper castes have revolted in the form of a counter-revolution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Constitution has faced a consistent line of attack from the time it was being drafted. Various charges were made against the draft Constitution. Ambedkar himself stood up on several occasions to point out the shallowness in these attacks. One main charge against the draft Constitution was that it did not represent the &amp;lsquo;ancient polity of India&amp;rsquo; and that it should have been &amp;lsquo;drafted on the ancient Hindu model of a State. . . instead of incorporating Western theories&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Ambedkar responded that doing this would have promoted &amp;lsquo;a sink of localism, a den of ignorance, narrow-mindedness and communalism&amp;rsquo;, which should not happen. The draft Constitution was also criticised on the ground that it provided special safeguards for minorities. Ambedkar&amp;rsquo;s conception of minorities was much broader.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;According to a &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Article%20on%20Ambedkar.pdf&quot;&gt;paper&lt;/a&gt; published by Brandeis University, challenges to reservation best represent the attack on the Dalit revolution.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Due to Ambedkar&amp;rsquo;s struggle and contribution, the Constitution provided a new set of rights for Dalits. The provisions of representation in services and legislatures created new openings for Dalits. Reservation policies allowed Dalits upward economic mobility, and presence in educational institutions, which was earlier considered to be the monopoly and privilege of upper castes. The demand for equality, supported by political mobilisation, generated a powerful conscience among Dalits. Later, in the panchayat institutions, the reservation of seats for Dalits and women have changed certain social dynamics and have weakened the grip of the upper castes on political affairs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It is in all these ways that the Constitution directly challenged the upper-caste privilege. Before his death, Ambedkar had proposed to write a detailed treatise with the title Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Ancient India. Ambedkar considered the establishment of democratic principles in the Buddhist era as a revolution. According to him, the counter-revolution pioneered by Brahminical forces resulted into decline and fall of those democratic principles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This history was pointed out by him even in his last address on November 25, 1949 to the Constituent Assembly. If one was to apply that analogy to modern era, then the adoption of the Constitution of India must be seen as a form of revolution. It is to undo the effects of this modern revolution that upper castes have revolted in the form of a counter-revolution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Constitution has faced a consistent line of attack from the time it was being drafted. Various charges were made against the draft Constitution. Ambedkar himself stood up on several occasions to point out the shallowness in these attacks. One main charge against the draft Constitution was that it did not represent the &amp;lsquo;ancient polity of India&amp;rsquo; and that it should have been &amp;lsquo;drafted on the ancient Hindu model of a State. . . instead of incorporating Western theories&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Ambedkar responded that doing this would have promoted &amp;lsquo;a sink of localism, a den of ignorance, narrow-mindedness and communalism&amp;rsquo;, which should not happen. The draft Constitution was also criticised on the ground that it provided special safeguards for minorities. Ambedkar&amp;rsquo;s conception of minorities was much broader. It included both religious minorities as well as marginalised social groups.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Dominant castes can’t digest Dalit progress. It’s why they attack reservation with propaganda -Anurag Bhaskar

-ThePrint.in According to a paper published by Brandeis University, challenges to reservation best represent the attack on the Dalit revolution. Due to Ambedkar’s struggle and contribution, the Constitution provided a new set of rights for Dalits. The provisions of representation in services and legislatures created new openings for Dalits. Reservation policies allowed Dalits upward economic mobility, and presence in educational institutions, which was earlier considered to be the monopoly and privilege of upper castes. The demand for equality, supported by political mobilisation, generated a powerful conscience among Dalits. Later, in the panchayat institutions, the reservation of seats for Dalits and women have changed certain social dynamics and have weakened the grip of the upper castes on political affairs.  It is in all these ways that the Constitution directly challenged the upper-caste privilege. Before his death, Ambedkar had proposed to write a detailed treatise with the title Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Ancient India. Ambedkar considered the establishment of democratic principles in the Buddhist era as a revolution. According to him, the counter-revolution pioneered by Brahminical forces resulted into decline and fall of those democratic principles. This history was pointed out by him even in his last address on November 25, 1949 to the Constituent Assembly. If one was to apply that analogy to modern era, then the adoption of the Constitution of India must be seen as a form of revolution. It is to undo the effects of this modern revolution that upper castes have revolted in the form of a counter-revolution. The Constitution has faced a consistent line of attack from the time it was being drafted. Various charges were made against the draft Constitution. Ambedkar himself stood up on several occasions to point out the shallowness in these attacks. One main charge against the draft Constitution was that it did not represent the ‘ancient polity of India’ and that it should have been ‘drafted on the ancient Hindu model of a State. . . instead of incorporating Western theories’. Ambedkar responded that doing this would have promoted ‘a sink of localism, a den of ignorance, narrow-mindedness and communalism’, which should not happen. The draft Constitution was also criticised on the ground that it provided special safeguards for minorities. Ambedkar’s conception of minorities was much broader. It included both religious minorities as well as marginalised social groups.  Please click here to read more.
