Answer:
Jyotiba Phule was born in Pune in 1827 in Mali caste. His family supplied flowers to the Peshwa’s household and therefore they came to be known as “Phule”. As a child he was intelligent. He studied at the Scottish Mission School in Pune from where he completed his English course in 1847. When he was a child, he was greatly influenced by Thomas Pains Rights of Man.
He was of the opinion that as children of God every person had equal status, irrespective of caste and creed. He had the feeling rather a strong feeling that our society could not progress and prosper without the proper spread of education, especially among women; and secondly, the have-nots’ socioeconomic status should be alleviated.He opened a school for untouchable girls at a young age at Bhide. Local upper-caste people objected to it, and he was asked to close the school, and quit the locality. He left the place, but soon he restarted the work after raising funds from prominent Europeans and Indians.
According to Ambedkar, Hinduism was once a missionary religion but it ceased to be so with the advent of caste system among the Hindus. Caste is inconsistent with conversion. Hindu society is a collection of castes and each caste a close corporation which has no place for a conversion. Indian tribes are backward solely because of reluctance on part of the caste-Hindus to “adopt” them.
The caste-Hindus deliberately try to prevent the lower caste, within Hinduism from rising to the cultural level of the higher castes. Caste system breeds anti-social spirit, because of the division of the population into various castes. It has killed public spirit, damaged the sense of public charity, and made public opinion impossible.
Dr Ambedkar traces the origin of “untouchability” to “contempt of the Buddhist and beef-eating by untouchable communities.” Ambedkar says that the “Broken men” of the past are the untouchables. He says that the “Broken men” were Buddhists. They never respected Brahmins and considered them impure. Brahmins did not respect the Buddhists either. Brahmins preached against Buddhists and as a result the broken men came to be regarded as untouchables.
According to Ambedkar, meat of cows forms a part of the food of untouchable communities of the country. On the other hand, he says no Hindu community however low, excepting untouchables, touches cow meat. He tries to trace the origin of untouchability to the “beef-eating” habit of untouchables.
He says initially all including Brahmins, ate meat including that of cow. Brahmins stopped eating beef to keep themselves apart from the beef-eating people, including the Buddhists. Ambedkar says that if beef-eating had remained a secular affair and not a religious one, a mere matter of individual taste, untouchability would not have arisen.
