As we celebrate BR #Ambedkar’s 131st birth anniversary, it’s worth recalling that he not only battled for the socio-economic upliftment of a community that was described as untouchable but he was also a fierce public health advocate. scroll.in/a/1021793 By @PreshitAmbade

India could very soon become the epicenter of depressive and anxiety disorders in the world. It already has the highest number of mental illness cases in the world. People don't know about it yet as it continues to be considered a stigma.

It's #Ambedkar's Mahaparinirvan Diwas. Take a second to learn more about this thinker, leader, & anti-#caste activist. He should be included among the greats in #philosophy, the humanities, and more. Here's a picture of Ambedkar with his beloved books and a bookplate. #Jaibhim!

Lies & blatant lies! Govt statement in parliament of no death due to #ManualScavenging in last 5 years is shameful as well as disrespectful to every person who died cleaning our shit! Its simply a cover-up of its own failure to stop deaths in sewers, septic tanks. #stopkillingus
