It is vibrant for its diversity and unites with its shared belief in opportunity and inclusion.”
He further added: “Dr. Ambedkar shows us that inclusion is not a pampering, but a fundamental right. He teaches us to face injustice, but to remain silent, but to maintain unity. His legacy forces us to force bridges in culture, to expand the voices of the oppressed, and to challenge their systems in situations that equal to them.”
