Abstract
Of late, there is a mad race to appropriate Babasaheb Ambedkar and all that he believed in by people of all dissensions’. Educationally one of the most qualified ministers in the first cabinet of Jawaharlal Nehru, he could hardly win the love, sympathy and adoration of the majority his countrymen as he was pitied against the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi and was constantly treated as a villain who sided with the British and opposed the national movement. He had experienced untold sufferings as a dalit and was vehemently opposed to the rural setting where the inhuman social exploitation was the maximum. Compared to Ambedkar, Gandhi had an altogether different opinion about the village life.
