On 119th Birth Anniversary of Baba Saheb Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedbar: A Legacv Worth Living and Dvinq For .
Friends, Or. Ambedkar was tl1e architect of our constitution . and one of the most daring social revolutionaries and a nationalist to the core who consistently and indefatigably waged a two pronged battle -one against the British imperialism and the other an equally august struggle for social equality and dignity for the oppressed sections of our country. It was the resilience and determination of Baba Saheb which saw him rise to the forefront of resistance against the oppressive caste set-up. A true intellectual and a visionary, he went on record saying, "Given the time and circumsta nces, nothing under the sun shall stop this country from becoming a super pow er". Alas! His dream of a cohesive and seamless Indian society has not yet been fully realized, thanks to our political classes which thrive on thee divisive politics and segregated constituencies. The ideals of Saba Saheb lead us to an altogether new world -a world free of the scourges that continue to afflict our society even today. The ideas of economic equality and social j ustice continue to remain haloed ideas without their taking a concrete sha pe of reality. Political and economic rights for dalits continue to elude them and the political elite of our country have time and again co-opted them and used them as mere mascots to grab votes. It is surprising to note that the so-called progressive organizations of our campus who breast beat of dalit rights have failed them time and again and pushed them into naxal terrorism (taking advantage of their gullible nature, thanks to lack of education among them) while they themselves remain ensconced in all comfort and luxury. This kind of political opportunism to serve their ulterior political ends jeopardizes the lives of these poor by instilling in them destructive ideological venom. At a time when the communist on the campus are hell bent on ranging people against one another and provoking one -upmanship of caste, regional and religious lines, the relevance of the ideals of the Bharat Ratna Dh..Ambedkar get firmly entrenched. The August ideals of Saba Saheb are eternal ones and they will continue to , .
resonate and reverberate for all times to come ., and his revolutionary ideas will continue to exhort the people of our nation and of the world for an .
P. equitable social order. The ideals of Baba Saheb cannot be confined to time and space and the ritualistic celebration of Baba Saheb's birthday is not an end in itself. The only meaningful tribute that we can pay to the great reformer is by treading the path shown by him and in the process ushe r in an INDIA for which he lived and died -a glorious and a self reliant INDIA devoid of all malaise and scourges that afflict our society. .

Philadelphia, commonly referred to as Philly, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania and the second-most populous city in the Northeast megalopolis and Mid-Atlantic regions after New York City. Philadelphia is known for its extensive contributions to United States history, especially the American Revolution, and served as the nation's capital until 1800. It maintains contemporary influence in business and industry, culture, sports, and music. Philadelphia is the nation's sixth-most populous city with a population of 1,603,797 as of the 2020 census and is the urban core of the larger Delaware Valley (or Philadelphia metropolitan area), the nation's seventh-largest and one of the world's largest metropolitan regions consisting of 6.245 million residents in the metropolitan statistical area and 7.366 million residents in its combined statistical area.
Philadelphia was founded in 1682 by William Penn, an English Quaker and advocate of religious freedom. The city served as the capital of the Pennsylvania Colony during the British colonial era and went on to play a historic and vital role as the central meeting place for the nation's founding fathers whose plans and actions in Philadelphia ultimately inspired the American Revolution and the nation's independence following the Revolutionary War. Philadelphia hosted the First Continental Congress in 1774, preserved the Liberty Bell, and hosted the Second Continental Congress during which the founders signed the Declaration of Independence, which historian Joseph Ellis has described as "the most potent and consequential words in American history". Once the Revolutionary War commenced, the Battle of Germantown and the siege of Fort Mifflin were fought within Philadelphia's city limits. The U.S. Constitution was later ratified in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. Philadelphia remained the nation's largest city until 1790, when it was surpassed by New York City, and it served as the nation's first capital from May 10, 1775, until December 12, 1776, and on four subsequent occasions during and following the American Revolution, including from 1790 to 1800 during the construction of the new national capital of Washington, D.C.
With 18 four-year universities and colleges, Philadelphia is one of the nation's leading centers for higher education and academic research. As of 2018, the Philadelphia metropolitan area was the state's largest and nation's ninth-largest metropolitan economy with a gross metropolitan product of US$444.1 billion. The city is home to five Fortune 500 corporate headquarters as of 2022. As of 2023, metropolitan Philadelphia ranks among the top five U.S. venture capital centers, facilitated by its proximity to New York City's entrepreneurial and financial ecosystems. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange, owned by Nasdaq since 2008, is the nation's oldest stock exchange and a global leader in options trading. 30th Street Station, the city's primary rail station, is the third-busiest Amtrak hub in the nation, and the city's multimodal transport and logistics infrastructure, includes Philadelphia International Airport, and the rapidly-growing PhilaPort seaport. A migration pattern has been established from New York City to Philadelphia by residents opting for a large city with relative proximity and a lower cost of living.
Philadelphia is a national cultural center, hosting more outdoor sculptures and murals than any other city in the nation. Fairmount Park, when combined with adjacent Wissahickon Valley Park in the same watershed, is 2,052 acres (830 ha), representing one of the nation's largest and the world's 45th-largest urban park. The city is known for its arts, culture, cuisine, and colonial and Revolution-era history; in 2016, it attracted 42 million domestic tourists who spent $6.8 billion, representing $11 billion in economic impact to the city and its surrounding Pennsylvania counties.
With five professional sports teams and one of the nation's most loyal fan bases, Philadelphia is often ranked as the nation's best city for professional sports fans. The city has a culturally and philanthropically active LGBTQ+ community. Philadelphia also has played an immensely influential historic and ongoing role in the development and evolution of American music, especially R&B, soul, and rock.
Philadelphia is a city of many firsts, including the nation's first library (1731), hospital (1751), medical school (1765), national capital (1774), university (by some accounts) (1779), stock exchange (1790), zoo (1874), and business school (1881). Philadelphia contains 67 National Historic Landmarks, including Independence Hall. From the city's 17th century founding through the present, Philadelphia has been the birthplace or home to an extensive number of prominent and influential Americans. In 2021, Time magazine named Philadelphia one of the world's greatest 100 places.
