April 14th....undoubtedly, a day of celebration for the depressed classes across our country. Several people choose to garland statues of Ambedkar and speak on his victorious life. This morning I chose to sit and read one of his writings to celebrate the birthday of a champion.
I googled for some time...read an article in wikipedia....where i found a link to his incomplete book "Waiting for a Visa". Not much available on wikipedia about this book - just 4 lines or so. I was eager to read this particular book...as it was not edited or published but existed in his original writing/language.
Finally, I was lucky to find excerpts, quite detailed, from the book in the following link:
Thanks to Prof.Frances Pritchet for making the writings available and the bracketed descriptive titles.
Six short experiences described by Ambedkar, very absorbing and thought-provoking. They depict the real histories of millions of our ancestors. Worth reading...give it little time.
