This profound statement is attributed to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. It encapsulates his vision of a truly just society, one that transcends the hierarchical structures of caste and status which lead to an “ascending sense of reverence” towards those deemed superior and a “descending sense of contempt” towards those deemed inferior. He believed that dissolving these feelings through the creation of a compassionate society based on equality was essential for justice.
