Why are some Hindu RW handles praising Gandhi? Read following 3 slides.

Ambedkar in his life time never trusted the communists. In a famous quip on Mumbai’s communists, he held they were mostly Brahmins from Konkan, more bothered about Brahmin wages in the textile mills, than the plight of Dalits. One couldn’t expect anything better from them.

Meanwhile, the private foundation is as close as we come to Downton Abbey and the landed aristocracy in this country. It's a largely untaxed pot of money that grows significantly over time, and those who control them tend to entrench their own privileges and those of their kin. 4

Here's how it works for a big lotto winner:

1. Win the prize.

4. Appoint only trusted friends/family to board. 5/
