The Indian Constitution does not only reflect its prime architect Dr B.R. Ambedkar's outstanding legal acumen but also his understanding of power, his strong grasp of the thought and approach of his countrymen -- as far as caste was concerned, and an unflinching vision for an equitable society, say experts. Unfortunately, most of his desired outcomes have failed to materialise or have been frustrated, especially the condition of Dalits as a class, save a few exceptions, said an illustrious panel of political thinkers, economists, and lawyers at a session on Ambedkar's legacy at the Jaipur Literature Festival here on Friday.
