A school in the city observed the birth anniversary of B.R. Ambedkar, the father of the Constitution of India, because it felt it was important to “glorify peace, love and unity” in the midst of “violence and the barriers of caste, colour or religion”.
The programme at Scottish Church Collegiate School in Kestopur on Wednesday was preceded by a message sent to all children the previous day about being “same” despite speaking different languages, wearing different clothes and eating different food.
“Whether we are Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, Christian, Parsi. we are all Indians. So he (B.R. Ambedkar) made a big book with rules to tell us how to live like good Indians and love one another always…. This book is called the Constitution,” the message read.
