Ambedkar Vs. Gandhi
i heard speeches delivered by Dr. Ambedkar on YOUTUBE, he was a fantastic English orator, i think he was best English orator among all his freedom fighter contemporaries. 
I heard Ambedkar terming Gandhi, an orthodox upper caste Hindu, who was just pseudo in his appearances. Despite all the allegations leveled by Ambedkar being literally true over Gandhi, fact is that Gandhi was far more bigger champion of dalits than Ambedkar. Ambedkar was off course the great role model of dalits, but their champion was Gandhi. Ambedkar's misreading about Gandhi's orthodoxy is true, but he should have know this, Gandhi's life and philosophy was not that of revolutionary and reactionary. He picked all his values in his life from his practicing religion, family, samskar, sant tradition and causes of common deprived public. what Gandhi ji did, while doing all his activities,that was unparallel? 
Gandhi did not took big Ph.D. from renowned foreign university, but the way he traveled all over country in third class, the clothes which he wear, the way he spend his life among untouchables, that resemble him more with dalits and that is much bigger than the various intellectual doctrine.
Off course Ambedkar was cheated , but it was not by Gandhi, that was by J L Nehru who managed to defeat him consistently in 3 loksabha election in Maharashtra. Lastly the shocked Ambedkar converted to Budha, the same Budha who was one of the big source of inspiration of Gandhi also.
