It's not that we only want to see his bitterness but his deeds and words reflected his deep hatred for Hindus. He said, "I am disgusted with Hindus and Hinduism because I'm convinced that they cherish the wrong ideals and lead a wrong social life." But I'll address the following. https://twitter.com/arvindneela/status/1337880703027929088
Ambedkar had no love for Sanskrit. His support to Sanskrit during the Constituent Assembly debate was a tactical move because he knew that it won't have any chance of success. The second consideration was that he didn't like linguistic states.
If you read the Constituent Assembly debates on Sanskrit, on September 13 1949, it was L K Maitra arguing in the favour of Sanskrit and not a single word by Ambedkar in the favor of Sanskrit. If Ambedkar really wanted Sanskrit, why didn't he push for it further?
Regarding the Bhagwa flag being a choice of Ambedkar, this is a laughable assertion popularized by Sangh. Ambedkar was the member of the flag committee in Constituent Assembly. If Ambedkar wanted Bhagwa, why didn't he push for it officially?
The resolution on tricolour being national flag was unanimously passed in the assembly. Where is the Ambedkar raising objection to it if he wanted a saffron flag? Ambedkar wanted Ashok Chakra on flag and he managed to push for it.
Ambedkar considering Vivekanand was the greatest man of modern India in a private conversation is immaterial. Even Nehru praised Vivekanand. Will you praise Nehru for that or reserve that special honour for Ambedkar alone?
Including cow protection in the Constitution was not his prerogative. If the assembly passed the resolution, he had little choice. Why should I credit Ambedkar for something which was the work of entire assembly? Ambedkar was no 'Bodhisattva' but a man who hated Hinduism.
