CM Revanth Reddy Describes Ambedkar House Visit as 'Pilgrimage'
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy paid a visit to Dr Ambedkar's House in London and called the visit an "inspiration for a lifetime". He was accompanied by his ministerial colleague D Sridhar Babu during his visit to the globally renowned Ambedkar House.
Babasaheb Dr Ambedkar lived at the address - 10 King Henry's Road in Primrose, London - in 1921-22. "Visiting Dr Ambedkar House is like a pilgrimage. The inspiration is for a lifetime. I feel renewed dedication for social justice," CM Revanth Reddy wrote in the visitor's diary during his visit.
The Ambedkar House is now a museum dedicated to the ideals of Dr Ambedkar -- constitutionalism, equality, a casteless society without oppression, and the supremacy of social justice. During the hour-long tour, Santosh Dass MBE, Chair of the Anti Caste Discrimination Alliance (ACDA), who played a key role in establishing the Ambedkar Museum, shared in-depth details about various facets of Babasaheb's life in the UK, the CMO said in a release.
After completing the tour, CM Reddy said, "It has been one of life's great moments... to be able to see and touch a personal aspect of one of the greatest Indians ever born," the CMO added.
