~ Ambedkar had recognized education as the major tool of the discriminated masses to stand up and claim their rights. Where the base of education would provide rationale, strength and the perseverance which distinguishes between truth and cultured opinions. Education formed the fundamental part of his eloquent speeches and messages, making us perceive his early understanding of it as a fundamental right and also as the major tool of rebelion among the discriminated. Ambedkars speeches many a times mention the transformative nature education has, which he would have imbibed from the diverse range of academic learning he had. Being from a community which was socially excluded and disregarded throughout history, his thoughts and ideas where considered as threatening and misleading by the fundamentalists. For he overturned the rules of nature or supernatural forces and created a disastrous impact on them, as he started to agitate within the society and beyond, with his words and writings. The concept of upliftment or rise of the lower class was accepted. With the advantage of being a learned person Dr. Ambedkar was in a better position than any other to challenge the relations of the upper and the lower castes and the immobility within them. Education hence proved to be a factor of upliftment when certain communities were denied the same. ~
