Term added on Sunday 30th June, 2024 by Team
Pita Ramji ke nidhan ke baad, Babasaheb ko apni jeevika kamaane ke liye bahut sangharsh karna pada. Unki jigyasa itni gehri thi ki ve uchch shiksha prapt karna chahte the.
June 1913 mein, Baroda ke Maharaja ne is baat ki ghoshna ki thi ki ve kuch layak vidyarthiyon ko uchch adhyayan ke liye Columbia University bhejna chahte hain, riyasat(Agreement) ki tour par. Is baat ko sunke, Babasaheb Ambedkar Bombay me unke niwas par jake mile aur unse anurodh kiya ki ve bhi in vidyarthiyon me se ek maane jaye. Maharaja ko unki buddhimatta par garv hua aur unhe scholarship ke liye apply karne ko kaha, jo unhe di bhi gayi.
4 June 1913 ko, teeno aur applicants ke saath milkar, Babasaheb ne Baroda riyasat ke Upadhyay Mantri ke samksh mein ek keemat par haath lagaya, jisme unhone Columbia University mein padhai puri karne ke baad das saal tak riyasat ki sewa karne ka vachan diya.
1913 mein 22 saal ke Babasaheb Ambedkar ko riyasat ki scholarship par America bheja gaya. 12 June 1913 ko Babasaheb New York pahunche. Apni yatra ke liye unhone Buddh dharma par pustakein li thi padhne ke liye. Ek hafte tak ve Columbia University ke kamre Hartley Hall mein the. Lekin vahan ki khan-paan unhe achhi nahi lagi kyunki bahut saare vyanjan gale pakke the aur beef se bane the. Isliye ve kuch Indian vidyarthiyon ke rehte hue Cosmopolitan Club mein shift ho gaye.
Thodi der baad ve Naval Bhathena, ek Parsi vidyarthi, ke saath Livingstone Hall chale gaye, jisse unki poorn jeevan bhar ki dosti bani. Ek aur vidyarthi C.S. Deval unka karibi dost tha jinse ve lambi charcha karte the.
America mein jeevan bilkul alag tha jo ki Bharat mein unhone dekha tha usse bhi. Ek Dalit hone ke naate, Bharat mein unhe bahut anyay sehna pada tha. Lekin America mein bhi, unhone pata lagaya ki nasl ke adhar par vibhajan aur anyay amiron mein bahut gehra baitha hua hai.
Sare mushkilon ke bavjood, Babasaheb ne puri mahnat se padhai mein lag gaye. Ve Columbia University mein padhne ka poora faayda uthana chaahte the, jise duniya ki sabse achhi university maani jaati thi. Unki mehnat rang laayi aur 1916 mein unhone Economics mein PhD prapt kiya.
America ke anubhav ne unki loktantra aur individual adhikaar ke vichaaron ko bhi nirmit kiya. Unhe America ki loktantrik vyavastha kafi prabhaavit ki aur unhone use Bharat ke liye ek model mana. Phir bhi kuch mamlo jaise naslvaad aur anyay par unka aakrosh tha.
America mein,Babasaheb Ambedkar John Dewey jaise samaj-sudharak vichaaron se ru-ba-ru hue jisne unpe gehra asar daala. Civil rights andolan aur nasli samata ke sangharsh ko bhi unhone closely follow kiya jo unki samajik nyay ke vichaaron ko nirmit karega.
America mein Babasaheb Ambedkar ki zindagi chunautiyan bhi lekar aayi. Unhe financial mushkil aayi aur guzara karne mein pareshani rahi. Ek baar to ek boarding house mein unhe apni Indian origin ki vajah se rehne se inkaar kiya gaya.
America mein Babasaheb Ambedkar ko aur Indian vidyarthiyon se milkar baatein karne aur Bharatiya rajniti aur samaj par bahes karne ka mauka mila. Bahut se doston ke saath unka poora jeevan ka rishta bana. Kuch to baad mein Bharat ki rajnitik zindagi mein muhk vyakti bane.
Padhai ke alava, Babasaheb ne America ko ghumna aur sanskriti ko samajhne ka bhi mauka paya. Ve Washington DC, Boston, Chicago jaise shehron mein bahut ghumte the. Unhe Statue of Liberty khas pasand aayi kyunki use unhone aasha aur aazaadi ka prateek mana.
Keh sakte hain Babasaheb ka America ka daur unki zindagi ka bahut mahatvapoorn hissa tha. Ise unhe duniya ko aur vyapaak nazar se dekhne ka avsar mila. Ise unka Bharat mein vanchit logon ke adhikaar ke liye sangharsh majboot hua. Naye vichaar, anubhav aur soch unhe mili. Ye unhe Bharat me vanchit logon ke liye ladne ke intellectual aur shastrath hathiyar prapt karne me madad ki.
America ke daur ne unki anokhi yatra ko bahut mazbooti di, jiske upar vo Bharat me samajik nyay andolan ko aage badhaye, jo aaj bhi duniya bhar ko prabhaavit karta hai.
Babasaheb Ambedkar
