Reappraising B. R. Ambedkar’s Thoughts of Inclusive Indian Nation

Abstract

B. R. Ambedkar’s ideas – caste<br>annihilation, securing rights to the depressed class, representation of different oppressed<br>sections in political affairs, egalitarian economic arrangement, education, women rights, and<br>democracy – all have the potentiality to be linked with his ideas of a nation which is inclusive<br>in nature. His idea of social equality and cultural unity was path breaking in his period, even<br>relevant in recent times too. Ambedkar’s endeavour of annihilation of caste was no longer<br>contradictory to his idea of nation-building. His major concern was how India would become<br>a nation without a large number of people who seemed untouchables and thus socially<br>excluded. He was aware of that the social solidarity is the key for struggle against<br>colonialism. The struggle against colonialism would not be rewarding unless realizing social<br>solidarity among different religious groups, castes, and communities. It was undeniably a<br>great challenge to Ambedkar to make a link between his efforts to annihilation of caste and to<br>build India as an inclusive nation which is discussed throughout this paper by integrating<br>apparently diverse thoughts of B. R. Ambedkar.

“…3 These compounds were Arg 1 -Arg 2 -2-Nal 3 (2-napthylalanine, 2-Nal) mimetics and were designed as antagonists for the CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), which is a 7TM receptor involved in entry of T-tropic HIV strains into CD4 + T-cells, 4,5 and also has a pathological role in cancer and rheumatoid arthritis. 6 The prototype compounds 1a and 1b ( Figure 1A) were shown to have EC50 values of 64 µM and 80 µM, respectively, in a cell-based assay for wild-type CXCR4. 3 We recently reported an array of close analogues aimed at investigating the influence of side chain length (m = 2-4, n = 3-4, o = 1-2) on antagonistic potency, where 2a,b ( Figure 1A; isolated as a mixture of diastereoisomers) showed an EC50 of 61 µM.…”

“…The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was used in the next step without purification.4.1.19. General protocol B: Formation of linear precursorsHATU (165 mg, 0.43 mmol) and DIPEA (0.19 mL, 1.1 mmol) were added to a stirred solution the carboxylic acid(6,11,25 or 26) carrying the R 1 side chain (0.36 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (2 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes. Fmoc-deprotected amine 30 or 31 (see general protocol A, 0.56 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (12 mL) was then added and stirring was continued for 24 h. The solvent was evaporated, and the resulting red residue was partitioned between H2O (10 mL) and EtOAc (10 mL).…”
