AMBEDKAR ASK PANDIT TO GO FURTHER ON SOCIALISM

Speaking on the  Resolution  Re Aims  an Objects placed by  Pandit  Jawaharlal  Nehru  on 13 December 1946.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar  expressed  his  views  on  the  Resolution  on  17.12.1946 in  the  Constituent  Assembly  as follows:-

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar (Bengal-General), Chairman, I’m  indeed  very  greatful to  you  for  having  called  me  to  speak  on  Resolution. I must have  confess  that  your  invitation  has  come  to  me  in  a surprise. I thought  that there  were  some  of 20 to 22 members had  of  me. My turn, if it  comes  at all would  come  tomorrow. I would  have  preferred  that  today, I come  without  any  preparation whatsoever.

“I would’ve  like  to  prepare  myself, as  I have  intended to  make  a full  statement  in an occasion  of this sort. Besides, few have  fixed  time  limits  of  10 minutes. The paragraphs set  out  the  objectives of the future  Constitution  of this  Country. I must  confess  that coming  as the  Resolution does  from Pandit  Jawaharlal  Nehru, who is  reputed  to be  a Socialist, a Resolution  although, some  are  controversial  to my mind, it is very  disappointing. I Should have  expected  him  to  go  much  further  than  he  had  done  In that  part  of  the  Resolution. As  a student  of History, I should  have  referred  this  part  of  Resolution, not  being  embody in  it at all.”

Sir, there are a  certain  provision, “we speak, of Justice, Economical, Social and  Political. In this  Resolution as a reality behind it  and sincerity of  which, I have  not  least  doubt  coming  as  it  does  from a mover off the  Resolution. I Should  have  expected  some  provision, whereby, it  would  have been  possible, for the  statement  to  make, Economically, Socially and Politically,  Justice  reality and  I should  have  from  that  point of view  expected  the  Resolution  in  most  explicit  terms, in  order  to that, there  may  be  Social, Economical Justice in the country, that  there  would be  Nationalisation of Industry and Nationalisation of Land. I do not understand how it could be  possible for any future government, which believes  in doing justice  to  Social, Economic and Politically, unless its Economy is a Socialist Economy. Therefore, personally although I  have  no  objections to  the emancipation of these proposition, the Resolution is to my mind somewhat dissapointing.”

However, earliest views of Dr. B. R. Ambetkar was ignored but to be revived after two decades. The “words,” Social, Secular found in the Preamble  may continue and so it is hoped!.
