On B. R. Ambedkar’s Jayanti, this quote isn’t just a reflection, it’s a warning.
“They cannot make history who forget history.”
Ambedkar, who spent his life challenging caste oppression and building the foundations of modern India, understood one thing deeply: progress without memory is fragile.
For those denied dignity, erased from narratives, or pushed to the margins, remembering history is not optional, it is power.
It is how injustice is named, how resistance is built, and how change becomes possible.
This line speaks directly to a society that often moves forward without looking back.
Ambedkar reminds us that forgetting the struggles, the movements, and the voices that shaped our present risks repeating the very inequalities we claim to have left behind.
To make history, we must first honour it. Not selectively, not conveniently, but truthfully.
