Successful assimilation depends on mastery; but we have not mastered European conditions and knowledge, rather we have been seized, subjected and enslaved by them. Successful rejection is possible only if we have intelligent possession of that which we wish to keep . Our rejection too must be an intelligent rejection; we must reject because we have understood, not because we have failed to understand . But our Hinduism, our old culture are precisely the possessions we have cherished with the least intelligence; throughout the whole range of our life we do things without knowing why we do them, we believe things without knowing why we believe them, we assert thi...

Constitutional Morality ,  explained by Dr Ambedkar in Constituent Assembly while introducing the draft Constitution in Constituent Assembly.
