Ambedkar and equity in GST
As we observe yet another Constitution Day it will be useful to recall the prescient words of Dr. B.R.Ambedkar, universally acknowledged as the father of the Indian Constitution. In his speech made on the eve of the adoption of the Constitution on 25 Nov 1949 in the course of the debates, he inter alia said:
“On the 26th of January 1950, we are going to enter into a life of contradictions. In politics we will have equality and in social and economic life we will have inequality. In politics we will be recognising the principle of one man one vote and one vote one value. In our social and economic life, we shall, by reason of our social and economic structure, continue to deny the principle of one man one value. How long shall we continue to live this life of contradictions? How long shall we continue to deny equality in our social and economic life?”
