Birth Day of Baba Saheb

I would like to ask you to link to the Ambedkar Online Memorial from your Blog, your Homepage or your page in any social network. With this project that will be launched officially on 14 April, the birthday of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, father of the Indian constitution and fighter for Dalit rights, we would like to put attention on the Dalit's destiny in contemporary India. The page should be linked from 13 April late evening if possible (may be you can set the time for your post. If so please set it for 14 April 00:01).

Fighter for the rights of the untouchables

Today/Tomorrow, 14 April 2008, the father of the Indian constitution and fighter for the rights of the untouchables (Dalits) would have turned 117. On the occasion of that birthday the Varanasi based People's Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR) launched the Ambedkar Online Memorial. With this project the PVCHR would like to put attention on the situation of the Dalits in contemporary India. Part of the Online Memorial is a collection of Photos taken by children from a Dalit village in Varanasi.
