In the fight for Swaraj you fight with the whole nation on your side...[but to annihilate the caste, you have to fight against the whole nation—and that too, your own.

But the world owes much to rebels who would dare to argue in the face of the pontiff and insist that he is not infallible.

-Babasaheb Ambedkar

In the fight for Swaraj you fight with the whole nation on your side...[but to annihilate the caste, you have to fight against the whole nation—and that too, your own. But it is more important than Swaraj. There is no use having Swaraj, if you cannot defend it. More important than the question of defending Swaraj is the question of defending the Hindus under the Swaraj. In my opinion, it is only when Hindu Society becomes a casteless society that it can hope to have strength enough to defend itself. Without such internal strength, Swaraj for Hindus may turn out to be only a step towards slavery. Good-bye, and good wishes for your success.

-B.R. Ambedkar
