“A just society is that society in which an ascending sense of reverence and descending sense of contempt is dissolved into the creation of a compassionate society.” B R Ambedkar

B R Ambedkar rightly emphasizes upon the need of a just society which has more reverence, respect and less of disharmony & intolerance.

why need to increase reverence

(i) social capital Ex: Sant Ravidas dreamt of Begampura (everyone shares other's pain)

(ii) Inner Peace → Feel good by doing acts of mutual respect, etc.

(iii) Encourages good acts Ex: Raghukul → Lord Ram's Acts ↓ Inspired 'Raghukul Reet'

Why need to decrease contempt

(i) Intolerance : leads to communal disharmony , loss of cooperation

(ii) Judicial contempt → Poor justice → discontentment ↓ violence

(iii) Environmental contempt → wayanad We only have landslide → barely enough 2024 time now

(iv) contempt of Human Rights

Entrenched caste based patriarchy ; discrimination

" love and compassion are not the necessities, but the minimum prerequisites for harmonious functioning of our society." — Dalai Lama
