Adv. Prakash Ambedkar, after saluting the Vijaystambh, reacted through an ex post and said that Bhima-Koregaon Shaurya Diwas is a reminder of taking a step forward in the fight against the caste oppression of our ancestors. Take inspiration from the victory of as many as 500 (499 Mahars and 1 Matang) soldiers and allied forces over their Brahminical Peshwa rulers. Remember their valor positively and use what Babasaheb wanted as a symbol of independent Ambedkarite political aspirations. Today and in the near future, when you visit the Jaystambh, honor the soldiers and cast your vote to fulfill Babasaheb’s aspirations and ambitions – an independent Ambedkarite political force.
