Dr. Ambedkar Memorial in USA<br />
To find an effective way to resolve these problems of<br />
injustice and the atrocities that stem from it, Ambedkarites<br />
need to stand united and create a forum, where all interested<br />
and like-minded people and organizations in the Unites<br />
States of America can contribute and stand together to<br />
support, help, educate and create awareness. To enable<br />
campaign and advocacy efforts, peace and justice awareness<br />
camps, educational seminars and social and economical<br />
activities, as well as create a support base, the Dr. B. R.<br />
Ambedkar International Center (AIC) was formed.<br />
Today Ambedkar International Centre is networking<br />
Ambedkarites all over the world.<br />
Dr. Ambedkar International Centre (AIC) announced on 10 th<br />
May, <strong>2013</strong> that it has acquired a 13 acres property in<br />
Washington DC area with the aim of uniting all<br />
Ambedkarites in the USA and abroad and establishing a<br />
collective leadership that would work to build an<br />
enlightened society in South Asia based on Dr Babasaheb<br />
Ambedkar's principles and vision.<br />
Babasaheb Dr. Ambedkar-father of modern India and the<br />
Indian constitution, graduate of Columbia<br />
University, Doctorate from London School of Economics<br />
(LSE) and the first Law Minister of India after its<br />
independence - was from a Dalit community and created<br />
constitutional rights for Dalits, women and other backward<br />
castes who were denied human rights in a society dominated<br />
by upper castes in India.<br />
There are several teams, organizations, groups and nonprofit<br />
agencies working to support people from<br />
underprivileged areas in India and South Asia. These<br />
organizations are working to develop an equitable society. In<br />
practice, some developments and improvements can be seen,<br />
but a large population of Dalits and tribes still suffer from<br />
discrimination and injustice in all walks of life throughout<br />
South Asia.<br />
Many existing factions of Ambedkarites groups can<br />
collectively raise their concerns here and stay united. The<br />
AIC will serve as a venue for social change initiatives,<br />
meetings, conferences, celebrations and the propagation of<br />
Dr. Ambedkar's philosophy throughout the United States.<br />
The broad objective of the AIC is to provide well-equipped<br />
facilities for learning, so academicians and students can<br />
undertake and disseminate the ideas of Babasaheb Dr.<br />
Bheemrao Ambedkar.<br />
The AIC plans to establish a library containing speeches,<br />
books, pamphlets, newspapers, periodicals, microfilms,<br />
motion pictures, sound recordings, and other materials about<br />
Dr. Ambedkar and his ideas. The library will also host<br />
seminars, symposia, conferences, workshops, lectures,<br />
exhibitions, and fairs concerning the life and mission of Dr.<br />
Ambedkar. Acquiring property for the AIC in Washington<br />
DC area is a monumental historic achievement. Every great<br />
journey begins with a single step and acquiring this property<br />
is AIC's first step towards its vision and goals.<br />
